Greetings from Ottawa

[Siberia]

Hello everyone!
A quick note to say Hi! to everyone.  I recently found this board and decided to join.  As an intro, I can say that tho I am not an EE, I am not a complete idiot either.    I studied electronic communications over 25 years ago, but I work as an MIS. Go figure.  : Hehehe  I have less than 6 years to go before retirement and I am really looking forward to it. Woohoo!!    Well, not sure what else to say, so if you are curious and have questions, ask away!

Cheers!

Serge

Hi Serge,
I am also a Canadian. I retired early a few years ago and am enjoying collecting a small pension from the government and fooling around with electronic things that I have always wanted to make.

My career was in audio systems engineering and I still enjoy it.
You are a MIS? What is that?

Hi Serge,
Welcome to our forum.
I hope you enjoy it here!  ;D

God dag Ante!

Tack själv för den välkomnande!  Jag också hoppas Jag vill ha det fint här! Hehehe... That's the extent of my Swedish....Actually thanks to some obscure translation web site I found.  Hope it did not translate something bad! 

Cheers

MIS is for manager of information systems, ie: computers.   In my case, I manage Unix and VMS systems on Alpha platform. it's fun and keeps me busy, but I am ready to retire now.  Had enough of the bureaucratic silines that I have to put up with on a daily basis.  Hehehe... Come on retirement!!

;D

Sorry Ante, the fonts formatting really messed up the reply in Swedish.  Unless it is just from my end.

Hi Serge,

Yes the Swedish languish has a few “strange” letters which don’t display well here! ;D  I am sure you can contribute to the discussions here with experiences from you work. Nice to have you here!

Hey Serge, do you know something about APF's block list, a file, i belive, that block IP numbers or adresses? Probably used at internet servers. Anyone else know about this list? Its purposes?

This site's new server blocked my IP address, but I found a way to beat the list!
As happened many times in the past, it seemed that the server wan't working.

Hi Audioguru,

Me too, this is the first time in 96 hours I am able to post anything!!
I was thrown out when attempting to login and sometimes the URL was gone completely!
Sure hope it will stay up now!

Hi Ante,
This site frequently goes down for many hours.
It doesn't bother me anymore, I just go to other electronics forums.

 

[ante1]

Hi again!

I was thrown out two minutes after posting the one above you!
Now I am in for the moment, lets see how long it lasts this time before my IP is blocked again!? My IP at work is still blocked! ???

Yes, that’s the next thing to do for sure!
