jenfitz20 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hello All, I'm new and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jennifer or Jen. I live in San Diego and am married with two adult kids. I've been using the computer since 1998. I've come a long ways since I first started but I'm always eager to keep learning. So, I'm just finding my way around here and already I've got some new and helpful ideas to think about. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc-tecky Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Welcome aboard Jen and enjoy the stay. :thumbsup:havnblast, behave yourself now. ( You know you have to ease them into liking the idea first. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrine Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Ignore them, Jen. They're like this all the time. You'll learn a lot here. Just watch out though -- you may find yourself believing in Santa Claus again after reading Jeber's Really Bad Advice thread. Welcome!!!

beeTee Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Welcome Jen, make sure you watch out for those "Penguin Crossing" signs while you're out here. And if you happen to talk to one of those non-flying birds, don't worry if you don't understand the lingo. You will eventually come to understand . Watch out for the one wearing shades, he's always laying traps for unsuspecting prey!! You’ve already met some of his accomplices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I would like to extend a welcome to you Jen from across the pond in England, hope you have fun here. There are some sensible members I believe, but I have not really met any of them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hi, Jen, and welcome!!One bit of advice.... you may want to stay away from the multi-page topics here in the cooler, or you may find yourself sucked into the vortex known as "Jeber-land" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hello Jen and Welcome! I think you will find that we have a lot of fun, help some folks out and generally enjoy each other here.Glad you found us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Welcome to our little electronic world, Jen. Finally another resident of San Diego! What part of town do you call home? I reside in the muti-cultural City Heights area.Enjoy yourself here...this is a very unique forum, as I'm sure you'll discover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Welcome Jen. You have stumbled into one of the most mentally unstable places that I have ever had the pleasure of being at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 For the record, I believe Stryder is referring to the Cooler...the rest of the forum is extremely practical and useful. Which explains why you'll seldom find me there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrine Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Welcome !!Found this for you: Â Wow, Jen! Quint is giving you a porsche! Maybe its because you joined in November. New members in October were only given advice -- advice from Jeber et al, really, reeeally bad advice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Welcome Aboard! Since you are new to the forum, let me explain. All the references to penguins are referring to the All Things Linux section. The penguin with shades is Bruno, who rarely leaves the All Things Linux section these days. However, let it be known that you have curly hair (???)and he might return to this section.I can't say much. When I joined the forum I knew absoutely ZERO about Linux. Now I know just a little more. It's a great place. A friendly place. If you are suffering from the empty nest syndrome (or enjoying it) you will find this will eat up all that spare time you wondered how you could use. Glad you are here. Those of us that claim to be of the female species are a rare breed around here but we let our presence be known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Ah, but Corrine...vehicles only last for 5-10 years...but that advice will be bad forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Oh, no! Even Hondas Jeber?!Oh, well ... will enjoy the Honda while it lasts ... will have to check the odometer again ... think it was close to 150,000 miles last I looked which was a while ago. I think maintenance is a bit less with a Honda than a Porche though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Obviously Jeber does not drive a quality car. We just gave away a car with 215,000 miles and 12 years old just because the insurance was almost equal to the value. It still ran great without any problems.

Jeber Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Jeez, you guys won't let me get by with anything, will you? You see, jenfitz20...this is what happens in the Cooler. You may start a thread about one thing, but within a few (can't be exact, or I'll get called on it again) posts, the thread has veered sharply off topic and starts to wander about on it's own. We don't fight it...just go with the flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havnblast Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Good One Quint!!my 1979 GMC 4x4 is still going strong, even tho it needs a new body - the joys of rust and the joys of having your state road department use salt on the roads to melt the ice.

Cluttermagnet Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Jeez, you guys won't let me get by with anything, will you? You see, jenfitz20...this is what happens in the Cooler. You may start a thread about one thing, but within a few (can't be exact, or I'll get called on it again) posts, the thread has veered sharply off topic and starts to wander about on it's own. We don't fight it...just go with the flow. Welcome, Jen-I see you've already met most of the neighborhood 'characters'. Don't worry, they're all pretty much harmless. Yes, Jeber is right about people changing a subject, but whatever you do, if you start a topic of your own, don't encourage others to take over and drive for you. They will promptly run it right off the road and into a ditch. Then you have to come and tow them out, straighten their fenders, and rehabilitate some of your characters before you can send them on their merry way. (Remember the wild party scene in "Gremlins"? Sorta like that only less scary) :lol:Next time I will speak to you about gravity and its opposite, comedy.Best, Clutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeTee Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I don't know????? Think maybe we chased her off??? Jen. you out there??? JENNNNIFER!!!!!!!!Probably installing Mandrake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrine Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Think maybe we chased her off??? Â More like scared her off!Probably installing Mandrake. In your dreams :lol:Actually, since joining the forum, I've made a modest switch to open source. I installed Mozilla on my home pc over the weekend. I'm really enjoying having a tabbed browser again. I had used Firebird on my old PC but had problems with .6. For some reason it wouldn't import my address book. I like the clean lines of Mozilla but really miss ieSpell.

havnblast Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Congrats Corrine!! that is great to hear of the change or at least trying it. MozillaFirebird 0.7 is out btw and is a super browser. May want to post your problem in the MozillaFirebird section - they probably can fix it for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
