Hi everybody I'm from the Netherlands and a member for already 6 days! I'm middle aged and working for the largest computer company (no names here ). But knowing nothing about web design I came across this forum for learing, practice and giveback. What I like is the way you, the serious, friendly members at trap17, reply to my posts. I know I'm gonna making friends here...

Hey Tillo,

Good to have another old guy on the Forum...

Welcome to the trap17.

Yes, there is lots of good information here. Check out the Tutorial section and do not be afraid to ask questions. There are lots of knowledgable people willing to assist you with html and php and any other topics.
What sort of work do you do at the Computer company you work for? Maybe you can help others with their computer questions? Are you a Hardware technician?

See you around.

Hi jlhaslip

Thanks for the reply



As an IT architect I design systems for on demand computing (more the integration of software packages & systems then development of the applications itself). What it makes interesting is that my designs cover the end to end scope, from end user request (web portal) through end user service (deskside support, password resets ...). I am also a subject matter expert at asset mangement and service management and give courses
related to ITIL, that's the IT Infrastructure Library (now becoming more known in the US).

Related to personal computers I have a wide knowledge, but I'm not a high tech specialist at a specific subject, but I'm sure I can help others with their questions. I have two favorite programs, one is 'Blender' (a free 3d image and animation suite) and the other is 'Orbiter' (a free space simulator).

Hey there Tillo. What's up? Nice to see you on the forums. Sorry about the other members. They should be here by now saying hi. Welcome to the forums though. I always say that Trap supplies all your hosting AND posting needs

Everyone is super friendly. Spam is our enemy, but with our fine mods, it doesn't stand a chance. The AS is really cool if you like gaming against other people, but it is hard to keep up

If you need help, PM a mod or member, we are both here to help and when you get to know about the forums, you can help too. Well hey have a good day and enjoy your stay!

...and what am I a chop liver? HA HA HA I'm old too. tillo, you'll find that our forum is made up of wide age range: anywhere from 12 to 65. Age isn't an issue here. For here it's a perfect utopia where we collide in pure intellectual level to form the perfect bonding in friendship! Too much idealistic?

You're not the first person to post that game... we had a member who was dedicated to space mission and space simulators. I downloaded Orbiter in recommendation from him. I really do enjoy that game. Although, I crash and burn because I can't get the landing trajectory correctly. I wonder what happen to that person?

BuffaloHELP it's a matter of not giving up early and practice, practice... But you are not alone, thee are a lot of handy modules for you available to control your flight. For instance the orbiter has an autopilot available that sets your Angle of Attack to 40 degrees to regulate the heat, otherwise you will be roasted. I will plan to post a tutorial in the tutor section
