    I've been around here for a few years, but never registered an account until now. It's helped me with numerous things, so maybe I can give back and help some people too?

    I'll get the boring technical stuff out of the way first...
    • PC gamer with 10+ year old hardware - still have working floppy disk drives and IDE optical drives!
    • Trainee full stack software developer - focusing on cloud technologies (all new stuff to me)
    When it's not all things tech, what else do I like?
    I LOVE foam party club nights, see my username. They're actually quite hard to find in the UK, but if there's one near me (like this Easter Sunday), I'll definitely be there. Missing that would be like missing my own birthday party.

    If the foam cannon has run dry, then I'm sad. Maybe you'll find me at the range, I enjoy target shooting with my air rifle. It's much harder than you'd think, but once you've got the scope adjusted correctly, you might start hitting stuff.

    If I've run out of ammo, then I'll be down the tenpin bowling alley. I'm not very good yet, but I'll still throw around 120 average. Maybe one day my averages will start going up.

    But that's it from me, hopefully this was a somewhat okay introduction? Hello everyone!
    Anyone else share these niche hobbies? I've love to hear from you.

    Your use of "long time lurker" caught my attention because of a rather bizarre discovery I made a few weeks ago.

    I came to this site in March of this year from a link on another tech site and thought this online community was worth a little extra effort.

    Then I got to wondering why I hadn't noticed this site a long time ago and started checking some of my archives on other units I use and was very surprised that I had used information from this site a number of years ago, but I didn't see any information that I registered an account. But the bizarre point is I had completely forgotten I had been here for a rather important project I was engaged in back then. I suppose I can use an excuse that my medical situation has been messing with my brain function, but I'm not so sure that fits in this case. I honestly think I just forgot. A rather stupid mistake, for sure.

    And I suppose that is also a very lengthy 'hello'. Don't know if you are into the Easter thing, but Easter greetings fits at this time, too. In fact, Easter greetings to all of you, except I am sort of hiding that greeting in a post here in this thread, which makes me a kind of cheater, doesn't it? We're in about the middle of Ramadan, too.

    From one lurker to another welcome, I never post because I'm not smart enough yet, but maybe one day I will be able
    to interact with these brilliant windows modifiers and users.

    Aw, you have 10-year-old hardware? I have a working Radio Shack Color Computer!
