Hello all. especially @fletch3 Another female!! Great!!!

 

Just because Fletch is female, it doesn't means she'll join your crew.

Hi,

My name is Lorraine and ict technician within a school. i am Shropshire based. Hello

 

A beautiful part of the world, I lived there for 6 years, now back in Yorkshire. Welcome.

[sirat]

I'll just say hello. I joined a few minutes ago. I'm very intimidated by the degree of geekiness of all you people. I'm just a one-time science teacher, one-time radio amateur who messes around with computers and bits of wire and soldering irons and things, generally making everything I touch worse. I also write stories and novels (some science fiction but mostly mainstream 'literary') under my real name David Gardiner. Greatest technical accomplishment was installing Windows XP on an Eee PC that came with Linux pre-loaded and getting everything to work again by downloading all kinds of weird drivers and what-not. Took me ages but it works nicely now. That's about it. Please be gentle. Edited May 17, 2013 by sirat

Hi everyone,

 

My name is Ciaran and have been supporting education for nearly 10 years. I've been coming and going on here for a few years but never signed up, even though I found it to be very useful either for myself or to get others to explore. I run my own London based IT support company and am expanding.

 

That's it I guess, I look forward to many a chats

Hi @sirat and @eduitsup

 

Welcome!

Please don't be intimidated - some of us don't know that much, honest! There are all sorts on here from the very geekiest to the dabbler - but the main thing is, if you have a problem, someone will be able to help you

[ColleenYoung]

Hi

I'm Colleen - a Maths teacher, very interested in how technology can help students.

Worked in IT Training long time ago.

 

Amused to see I am an unknown quantity at this point!

Hi Colleen!

[ZeroNeg]

Hi, Just introducing myself. ICT Tech in Yorkshire area. Been using the site for some time now for information so thought I better join and then I can help others ( hopefully )

[WanderingWolf]

Just realised that I never posted here! My friends call me Chip, also go by Wolf when I use my other nickname (aka WanderingWolf) I'm an IT tech down here somewhere in the delights of the SWGFL area :-) Actually leaving current job soon to take up another IT Job somewhere else in the south west (but not in education! yay!) Love a good challenge, love working with both PC and Mac's, decided edugeek is one of the most useful places on earth. and I love Cake and Dr Pepper :-)

[witch]

Welcome @WanderingWolf I expect you are down here near me somewhere

[WanderingWolf]

Thank you for the welcome @witch

I'm actually the other end of the SWGFL area tucked away something in the valleys of Gloucestershire, but soon moving back towards the far too expensive area of Bath :-)

[witch]

That's a lot nearer than a lot of the edugeeks!

Hi Everybody,

 

Colin McCarthy from @VeryPC here!

 

After years of being banned in the wilderness Al The Marketing Guy finally managed to get the higher ups of @VeryPC to see sense and get me on EduGeek as a fully sponsorised member!View Profile: VeryPC_Colin_M - EduGeek.net

 

I work in a client focused role and love building bespoke systems for customers at brilliant prices. I enjoy cool cars, tweeting, sustainable technologies, my dogs, my lovely lady (not in that order), and am a bit of a telly addict. My current favourite shows on the telly are Fast and Loud, Gold Rush, The Apprentice, Walking Dead, Banshee, Hannibal, American Restoration, Toy Hunter, Pawn Stars, and Counts Kustoms. I have a phobia of tomato ketchup, everyone here knows it, and they've taken it upon themselves to help me overcome it..

 

Here are 3 facts about me, 1 is false;

 

I am actually an NFL Linebacker

I've kissed Christina Aguilera on the lips

George Clooney has pinched by bum on purpose

 

I look forward to helping the EduGeek community and meeting both old and new friends.

Cheers,

Col

Hello Colin.

I don't believe that any of those are a lie.

[VeryPC]

Welcome, Sales Module 15alpha, from the mothership. It is good to have you wrapped in our cold metallic space embrace again.

 

Regular followers of VeryPC will already recognise Colin from our competition videos - but now he cannot run off and hide after the filming is over! You will always know where to find him...

Hi Col - good to see you on here - and a big thank you for pulling my name out of the veryPC 'hat' to win the laptop. I'm currently in a pool of drool as I wait for the shiny new laptop to arrive!

[VeryPC_Colin_M]

Cheers B! It'll be built by end of play tomorrow, packaged in Haribo and hand delivered by Wrigley on Thursday. Shazam!

[hallb15]

Does it matter what brand of tomato sauce?

What about other varients such as BBQ or Levi Roots....?

Eeek - not Haribo. I must be one of the minority who doesn't like Haribo. Gotta be black jacks or chewing nuts-remember them?!
