gah I don't know how you people are still up on a Sat night..

I was awoken by the sounds of horrible trance music. I left my speakers on and it was playing a nice melodic tune over at a stream, but about 20 minutes ago my brain woke me up to something that utterly displeased it. It was a tune by Dj Yoshi called Dreamer. I was so disgusted by the lack of talent and a sheer absence of any regard to the ears of the listeners that I just had to get up and post on every forum that ever played that crap of a tune about my disgust. Still, 20 minutes later I still can't sleep. I feel so pissed. I've never been forced to listen to garbage like that, and here I am in the middle of the night rudely awoken by that horrible arrangement of samples by a talentless primate.

That's what you get for leaving your speakers on. Sorry your sleep was destroyed. Shall I hum you some songs?

Tribdog cut himself, you may want to go over to his thread and help him.

Hi everyone,
After such a grand introduction I can't just keep lurking here now, can I. I figure one of these days I'll be thanking Evo for this very special evening. :smile: Anyways, Hi everyone.
Funny how after 10 years she remembers the goats!

They're cute. Are they French-Alpines? The markings on those two are quite pretty.

Glad you decided to stop lurking and to come out and say hello! Welcome to PF!

i didn't know you were able to recognize goats head on. always thought your expertise was in rear view identification.

I was just wondering if both of that goat's heads work. I've seen a two headed snake before, but never a goat.

All I know is that they are pygmy goats. I don't know if there is any more distinction beyond that. They were fun to have.
Evo reminded me of their names: Baby and Blue (as you can guess, it's been ahwile since I've had them.)

He's been lurking for a couple of months, reading posts, getting a feel for the forum and you people have scared the bejeezus out of him!

How is that possible ?

BitJumper, c'mon man, i am sure you ain't no sissy...


He has a physics degree from UC Berkeley and a CS master's degree at California State University at Chico. He's in R&D for a large tech company, so he fits right in here. :approve:

Nice man, in what field do you work ? I am eager to know

regards

Oh, okay. French-Alpines are really BIG goats, but the markings are somewhat similar. I thought these might still be kids, but I guess not.

I had a bowl of goat soup once. Horrible stuff. It was Mexican though, not French

I can imagine it would be awful. Goats aren't known for their cooking skills.

I really don't like goat meat or cheese. The flavor is just nasty.

Welcome aboard Bitmap!

Another Oregonian! Most execellent. Have you heard about Ivan Seeking's steak on oak? Maybe we can talk him into trying again on a Oregon PF BBQ! ... When the weather improves.

Ivan?

Hey, there you go. Bitjumper can catch the steer, Integral can cut down the tree, and I'll cook.

Welcome Bitjumper!

Oh wait... We'll need Janus to split the wood, and Kerrie to operate the fire extinguiser.

Btw Bitjumper, both of my sisters and an old friend went went to Chico.

Marlon, I've been doing R&D development on color printers for years and years -- mostly firmware, engineering, and project management. 15 years on the Deskjets, now on commercial printers.

Of course, none of this is as exciting as the projects and work I had at UC Berkeley. But with HP I work in a beautiful, nice corporate office and have all the toys I want.

Integral, "when the weather improves" -- you can say that again. A blizzard just started here. It's pretty exciting. Doesn't happen often here.

Ivan, I have very fond memories from Chico. Very different from Berkeley. Alas, I had a girlfriend still at Berkeley so I drove the 4-hours back and forth to Berkeley every weekend instead of enjoying the beautiful country around Chico.

Tribdog, I'm reservering judgement.

Yes - I'm shy on forums. Sorry. That's just me. I'm better 1:1 with e-mail or IM. Public forums are scary. This is very uncomfortable at the moment.

Did you ever get up to Bidwell Park? We used to go watch...I mean go skinny dipping there, at the falls at Upper Bidwell.

I remember quite the sights kayaking down that river.
