G’day all, As many of you are aware, I’ve been talking for a while about setting up a website for Australian and New Zealand Dopers. I’ve finally done the HTML, and I’m just waiting for some copyright clarification from the SD. Now all I need are the actual profiles 😃 If you want to add your profile to the site, please send an email to fre@k.st with: [ul] [li]Your SDMB screen name[/li][li]Your real name (optional)[/li][li]Whether or not you’d like your real name to be visible on your profile (a first name only is ok)[/li][li]Your location[/li][li]An attached photograph of yourself in .jpg format (optional)[/li][li]An email address (if it is different from the one you use to submit your profile)[/li][li]Whether or not you wish your email to be visible on your profile[/li][li]URL of your homepage (if you have one)[/li][li]A short (one or two paragraph) description of yourself[/li][/ul] ---

Well, this ends my 2 month post exile… I guess I’m safe to post here. No one should take me to the pit for this 🙂 MattTheCroc Matthew Pate Go ahead, make my day. Melbourne, Australia [matthewpate@bigpond.com](mailto:matthewpate@bigpond.com) Again, day of making (IE, yes) Description: Umm… Oh, damn. This is requiring more effort than I thought. OK, I’m 17… Uhh, I have a pet dog… Ermm… I like television, though not as much as before. Buffy and Angel are pretty neat. Ditto the Practice and Ally McBeal. I like doing stuff with people… Yeah, that looks long enough… I’ll leave it there… and lots of "."s have been used, so it looks… like… I’m William… Shatner… excellent. ---

Do I get free steak knives if I’m one of the first 25 registrants? I’ll send you the info tomorrow. And for goodness sake will you guys pop in to chat occasionally of an evening - it’s lonely in there with only the bots for company. ---

Hmmm… this is going to be a mighty long process at the present rate. My ISP is being, as Roy & HG would say, _pretty bloody ordinary_ today. It’s been a good fifteen minutes from the time I logged on until the time I got The Dope loaded. And that’s when I can log on at all! Looks like I’m going to have to change my name to Theload **ing** Dog. **Matt** , thanks mate, you’re the first one on board. You don’t win anything though. Life is bloody tragic, innit? 🙂 Your email came through orrite, **Ice Wolf**. Cheers. So, **reprise** me ol’ cobber, it’s free steak knives yer after, is it? Well, umm… sure… I can do that. Just send $19.95 postage and handling… Gotta do something about this IRC business (I’ve never used it), and I’ll be right in there for an Aussie doper chat with ya. ---
