Hello, world.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I’ve spent far too long trying to come up with some form of text to slap into my monumental first post. I think I have finally succeeded. This is it.

Well, there’s nowhere to go but up!

:wink:

Welcome to the boards, Andrew! Make sure to read the “stickies” in this forum, and if you haven’t already, lurk around a bit to see how things are done around here. Happy posting!

You might find this moved to MPSIMS, ** Andrew Makepeace Ladd III**, but anyway: welcome to the SDMB!

Hi, Andrew! Welcome!

The name “Makepeace” is familiar to me. Any idea why? Is there a writer by that name?

5

William Makepeace Thackeray?

6

And, don’t forget the famous Ernest Makepeace Hemingway (a second cousin of the other Ernest H).

In any case, welcome to the boards, AML3

Welcome to the Board AML3.

For All Features Great And Small / All Things Bright And Beautiful, check out Arnold Winkelried’s threads in ATMB: FAQ - technical issues and FAQ - Guidelines for posting at the SDMB.

First, some advice from another poster, Sunspace. (I saw it, I liked it, I’m using it, with attribution of course.)

As mentioned in the quote above, one should be intimite with Gaudere’s Law.

Thanks for the warm welcome, all.

Welcome to the SDMB, Andrew Makepeace Ladd III.

ATMB is for questions About This Message Board. MPSIMS is for Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share. I’ll move this to MPSIMS for you.

Off to MPSIMS.

Welcome, Ladd. May I call you that?

Your thread title brings back memories of my first day at university. We got to write the “hello, world” program in my computational physics class. After that, everything went downhill.

I’m sure things will go better for you here, though. :smiley:

Welcome!

There’s Chris Makepeace, star of such movies as Meatballs and My Bodyguard! Oh, and welcome, Andrew.

Welcome from one newbie to another!

samarm, you don’t feel like a newbie at all! No, I won’t say how I came by that information.

Anyway, welcome to the SDMB, Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. You do realize this place is addictive, right?
