I've only been posting here for...(checks the clock) less than 48 hours and already I've been welcomed very warmly - which is cool - and called a VIP - which startled me, in a good way. It's kind of neat, because I was definitely NOT in the popular group back in secondary school (BAND GEEKS UNITE!!!), but also mildly odd. I had no idea I was a VIP.
But no pressure on me, eh?
I see a few names that are familiar from other forums where I read and participate, so I know I have to watch my Ps and Qs or they'll pull out the blackmail photos.
I have been a web freelancer for nearly eight years, though many of those earlier years were part-time freelancing. I handle operations for Scribehost and The Living Media, write some articles (staff columnist and syndicated), and am working on learning enough server admin to be a suitable backup - but my primary focus is customer service and long-term business planning. I'm a bit of a techie, but I know that my code-fu is wa-a-ay behind others'. I'm very much a neo-geek. I want to know enough to have a clear idea of what's going on with the servers, but I'll probably always be content to leave the day-to-day management of it to the folks for whom that is their true bliss.
I found this place from someone's .sig in WHT, ambled over, and read for a while. The place has a good vibe - a good community. Congrats to everyone who's made it what it is! Here's hoping I can help keep up the tradition.
