Hello Guys,

Altough this is not my first post, I think I need to introduce myself.

I'm Thomas and I live in Belgium, and as you might have noticed (I hope...), programming is one of my hobbies. Naturally I have other hobbies, I love to play the electric guitar, and I just love metal (NOT death metal, e.g. Cannibal Corpse).

Programming even is more then my hobby, prolly my passion 🙂. I'm starting a small group soon (and the link will ofc be in my sig once it is up).

Always ready for questions

Hey rulian,

I'm 16, so no job i guess. I don't know any other programming language, but i do like photoshop, and I might start C++ anytime soon. I started PHP when I was 15 years old. I don't think I have a that large background, I just go to school, play guitar, listen to music and program 🙂

I know I'm kinda young :queasy:

never to early to start! 😉 I first started playing with programming when I was 16. Didn't get into it properly for a number of years however...

Welcome

When you're younger you can eat what you like, drink what you like and still climb into those 26-inch-waist trousers and zip them closed.

Then you reach that age - 24, 25. Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag and then without any warning at all you're suddenly a fat bastard.

Ah, those were the good old days.

Hm.. Guess that leaves me a freak.. I still fit in the pants I wore when I was 20..

As for 16 being 10 years ago.. Guess you are quite young?? Its a bit more here. However, I started programming when I was. ehm.. 12 I think. The first ald beast my dad dragged into the home was my toy within weeks 😃

I obide by the Louis C.K philosophy:
"I have boobs now, I use to laugh at guys with boobs but that's not funny to me anymore. And this is it you know it's not like they are going back, i'm 39 now it's not like I'm going to be totally ripped when i'm 45. No, it's THIS or ALOT worse for the rest of my life"

but no i dont have boobs

I think I wrote my first program somewhere around age 27 or so: an adaptation of a "Lunar Lander" program written in Basic for my TRS-80. I'll leave it to you to do the research and arithmetic to figure out how incredibly old this gray-beard is. 😉 (When I was 16, there were no personal computers. :eek: )
