cariewna is sending message from Poland - introduction :-)

Postby cariewna on Sun Nov 20, 2005 1:46 am

Aloha,
i read this forum for hours today, because I had some problems with authorisation (thanks Tim again) and I cannot write on, so i check how many posters is from my country and which site is the prettiest Smile. But let's go.
I'm 21. I live in Poland. I study math.
I have computer from my birth (ZX spectrum with rainbow keyboard). My father sold our car and bought our first PC (I was five or six and i played games only, but I learned dos a little). When i started school my father made second computer for me and my brother, so we can play on our own. We tried to learn html and turbo pascal (it was 1994, maybe 95) and in our town most people didn't hear about internet, so we learned from old books (in our eyes they looked prehistorical) and magazines.
When i was 11 my parents get a job on university and i found IRC, muds and everything else. You know, what it is, find all information what you're looking for. Like exploring universe. I was fascinating in it. I ran away from school to internet cafe, i sit all day there and acquire everything what I was able to understand.
I used Slackware, i installed Ubuntu yesterday (but I can't do eagle-usb for my modem:P, I'm too lame yet - ewerything what i know is from manuals and sites, and sometimes I don't know what I should looking for:>)
Now I learn about structures, spaces and dimensions - and i want to can make programms in C++ which can help me in experience it.
Hm. Sorry for my english, I read in this language well, but speaking and writing is hard to me.

And the last info about me - i'm a girl Razz

Thank you, if you read it Smile It was a long shot to write this Smile

(I'm on irc now, but i don't know how long - it's almost 3 am and i'm sleepy a bit Smile)

welcome cariewna, good to see we are starting to get more diverse people, gender wise.

Why does everyone make such a big shit about being female?

Why not? You don't see girls in this kind of forums, don't you?

Correct, but I have a different point of view Wink

I haven't seen a pic of you, nor I've heared your voice, so what makes the difference? Before I know you, I see you just as a regular username/nick, nothing more. This applies to everyone, not just you.
In the restricted comunication environment of a forum, the gender, social group or sexual orientation doesn't really matter for me. What you say (post) is what I count.

Enough for now, or I may seem unfriendly and that's not the case
Welcome in the forums and I hope you will stay Wink

WooHoo!! Another girl in the forums! Welcome welcome! *jumps up and down and does the girly dance*

I don't know if this answers y'alls questions about why to be such a big deal about girls on the forums...

I think this is the only other girl I've seen on the forums since I've been coming around. The truth is, when you think of computer geek (please don't take offense), you normally think of a guy. Not often to see a computer geek girl. Very Happy
mhmm... kthx!!

Helo, pimpdawny Smile

I'm sorry for delay, that I had on forum. I was really ill (and still i am). I cannot eat anything :p
I started to learn C++ and I'm thinking of make some graphic project in C++, but it's long journey Smile.
I have a question - what do you think about sites in flash? I want to make my portfolio (i like drawing), but i always thouhgt that flash suck. But it's much representative. I don't know if it's sense to learn it. Smile
(Sorry for stupid post, but i have continuous fever and as the matter of fact i don't know, what my name is;/)
Goodnight.

Flash is installed on many computers, but not all. I for myself have even deinstalled it, because sites in Flash suck. They're awfully slow and require lots of unnecessary CPU time (compared to the same functionality done without Flash). Seen from the functional perspective: anything that can be done in Flash can also be done without. You wouldn't have fancy animations and sounds anymore, but many users find it annoying anyway.

If you're doing drawings for example, you should always consider that Flash will push your actual artwork into the background. Users will mainly notice the fancy animations surrounding them. If you're doing without fanciness anyway, then you can do without Flash as well. In that case, Flash is simply just disturbing, because some users need to install it first, sites take longer to load, you need a good PC for Flash to play smoothly, and the CPU time needed is plain unnecessary.
