Introduce Yourself

Whether you are in our ranks or merely visiting, please introduce yourself.

My name is Jukka. I live in Viitasaari, in Finland. This is a city of 8000 people living in here. Somebody would maybe say this is a small city, but... I'd say that too. That's maybe the biggest reason why my life looks like it is. All of my spare time I sit at computer, playing maybe, maybe doing something else. Sometimes, but not very usually these days, I go out airsofting. Yes, that's the game where you shoot each others with plastic balls. And no, they are not paintballs. But when the spare time ends, yes, it ends. Then I go to school.

I'm studying at a business college at Äänekoski, that is 60 kilometers South from Viitasaari. And Viitasaari is maybe 400-500 kilometers North from the capital Helsinki. In the business college I'm studying as a datanome. What the hell is a datanome? He/she is a person working mostly with computers. Creating programs and networks, selling computers and technology. Helping n00bs with computers and so on... I've studied maybe two months now and I haven't learned almost anything... Yes, I've already known everything. The fact is that the first year is mostly just basics. There are guys that don't know all that, so they need to get to the same level to really start the computer-related stuff. In school I've always been good at English and IT. Also maths and physics and chemistry were easy in comprehensive school, but we don't have them much anymore. I'm our class's fastest typist, sometimes reaching over 5000 characters/10 minutes (yeah, that's over 7/second). I'm even the fastest one who started this year. Faster than any merchonome student, too. In fact... The schools record is something about 4200, including all letters... I'm gonna break it, that's sure. I'm just not fast enought yet with all letters, but at the "home row" (A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, Ö and Ä) I reach those over 5000 speeds. I'll just need more training. That's why I'm in the school. That's why we're taught typing. But that's enough about the school.

Then I'm telling you something about my family. Yes, I'm still 15-years-old so I'm living safely at home with my parents and my sister. I don't have a girlfriend, whatever it is... Somebody told it's something you can eat, but I'm not sure... How the hell I'm supposed to know? I'm just a datanome student! I don't have a life!

And when I'm using the computer... What do I do... Well, just chatting with other people and surfing around the Internet. I haven't played lately as much as before, but now I'm again starting to play more, finally got my own computer. I play mostly realistic games, Armed Assault, Insurgency, America's Army, Operation Flashpoint... Sometimes also Battlefield 2 and other not-so-realistic games. And oh, CS too. 1.6 and Source, 1.6 mostly at school... The teachers won't notice anything...

My musical taste... I listen a very large list of different artists and genres. From Finnish Viikate to Icelandic Dimmu Borgir. Why I mentioned these two bands? Because Viikate is the lighter end of my musical taste and Dimmu is the heavier end. My favourite band is Swedish Sabaton, they sing about wars and fighting. I can listen to almost anything, except classical music and hip hop (and all the crap that sounds like that).

Edit. Added Sabaton as my favourite band, and you guys can't guess how hard was it to make that link work!

My name is Nermin. I was born in Bosnia, and leaved there during my early childhood. Then the war broke out during early 90's and i got tired living there, and being shelled every day. So i moved out, and ended up in living in Turkey, Austria, Germany and eventually i ended up in United States.

I am doing my Masters degree in Computer Science now, its basically just doing computer programing.I also work for second largest company in US, doing IT work. As far as my hobbies, i play football (europian football not american) twice a week. I also am big into music, i play guitar myself so you can say thats another hobby of mine. My music taste is across the board, but i am mostly into classic rock, Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Rage Against The Machine etc. but i can listen other stuff. The only music i dont like is classical.

Thats about it, i don't have a gf right now, to be honest no time for it ether, with school and work its hard to dedicate time for somebody else.

I'm Justin Wong. Just turned 18 last Monday, yay for me. I live in Cambridge, UK. Got kicked out from my first college because of my bad exams. Now studying BTEC National Diploma for IT Practitioners at Cambridge Regional College aka Cambridge Reject College as everyone else calls it, but its not. I'm in to rock music and some metal. I'm mainly on TF2 at the moment, but college work is slowly building up.

BTEC Nat dip eh, thats what im studying for, gotta love the no exams :p

Yeah. It's great that's there's no exams, but the 1 teacher that most of the people who are doing the course is trying to get her sacked as she knows nothing.

Haha, we already got a Tutor removed, stupid Asian women they brought in as a replacement, no one could understand what she was saying.
