    Hi
AI Thread Summary
A new member, a second-year mechanical engineering student from New Zealand, introduced themselves on the forum, expressing gratitude for the site's assistance with university assignments. They plan to engage more by asking questions rather than contributing content, citing a preference for hands-on work over theoretical studies. The discussion quickly shifted to light-hearted banter about favorite fish, with the new member humorously stating their dislike for fish and sharing a personal anecdote about unsuccessful fishing attempts. They also inquired about Arduino, seeking advice on a project to create a car security system that would integrate with the ECU. The conversation included playful exchanges about various fish, with members welcoming the newcomer and joking about the fish theme, while also providing a supportive atmosphere for their engineering interests.

Hi there I've finally decided to sign up after this site has helped me hundreds of times with my assignments and other uni related questions. There is always something off here that comes up in my google search results :D

Anyway just thought I'd make an intro post so it doesn't look like I just came on here to pick brains for one thing and then leave. I'm a BE(hons) mechanical engineering student living in New Zealand currently in my second year.

I will be doing more asking and reading than contributing though I think, I'm not very smart at bookwork compared to a lot of the people doing my degree (hence why I've used this and other sites so often!) so please bear with me!
I'm more into hands on work like working on my cars, but being a regular mechanic can only get you so far in life ;)

So anyway I've been browsing a few sections already and the knowledge I have available to read up on is amazing, this is truly a the kind of place I need to be at to get better grades and understand more of the world :)

Welcome to PF ghost!

What's your favorite fish?
 
Evo, I thought you're supposed to ban ghost not to welcome'm to PF. :p

Hope you enjoy it here ghost_r32 :)

PS. It would be nice if you pick a ghost fish. :biggrin:
 
Welcome to PF! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here!

So, what about the fish??
 
Welcome to PF ghost.
 
Hey guys thanks for the welcomes. I don't have a favourite fish, I hate them all. I have been fishing about 6 times now and have never caught a damn thing :(
Oh also I got my first warning for posting in the wrong section hahah, getting in trouble already.

Oh by the way I was going through some threads and saw things about arduino. Do many of you have experience with it?
This might be the place to help me with a project I have always wanted to do. I want to use arduino to program a security system for my car. I want to be able to wire it in line/interrupt certain signals to the ecu and only allow them to be sent if the right combination is entered, or another requirement is fulfiled, say like a secret button is pressed somewhere in the car. Is that possible? If so, where do I start?
I have basic programming knowledge with C++ :)

You probably like blue whale, don't you??
 
Hey, Ghost! Welcome.
 
Hi, ghost r32! Welcome to PF! If you need your sonar fixed, let me know.
No fishfinders, though!

Isn't blue whale the default fish for those newbies who keep their inclinations within the bucket?

Okay if I had to pick a fish I would say a great white shark :D

I spend a lot of time in the Skepticism & Debunking section. Man... Its making me question everything I read and see now haha

I've been seeing talk of fish for a while now and I have no idea what's happening.
 
  • #14
I too, am confused.

Dear oh, dear. A great white shark!..I believe only Evo is qualified to take the proper action here, if casualties are to be avoided..

(Okay, so...What is this fish thingy, anyway... And welcome, ghost_r32!)

Thanks Infinitum.

I'm actually worried now

The great white shark! I agree, we should first make sure that all the security measures are in place. Now all is in the hands of the supreme lard.

Technically the blue whale isn't a fish. :D

Smacks ghost r32 in the head with a toothy, great white shark.

If you are still around, you are now properly initiated at the forums! :approve:
