My Name is Todd, and I am a LumberJock Junkie...

I believe this is the correct, initial response..as a group now “Hi Todd!”

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

I think, “Welcome!” is also an accepted response, Rob.

Hi Todd,

I’m also new to Lumber Jocks as of this week—I think. As a software developer I will tell you that you may not be computer savvy but at least you’re trying and learning. That’s the important thing. In my world, it amazes me that many of the CEO’s, VP’s, and managers that are running companies and pulling down hundreds of thousands of dollars can’t even figure out how to turn on their computer; and worse, they don’t even try to learn.

I’ve looked at your projects and they are really nice. You do good work.

-- There are three types of people in the world, those who can count and those who can't!

Being one of the Lumberjock junkies as well, I can say Welcome Todd. We enjoy having your feedback and comments along the way.

I am also interested in seeing your table as it develops. Good luck with that.

you summed it up really well. That is exactly what it is like to be a LumberJock-er.

Stay strong and you will get your 3 month chip in no time!

I’ve been coming to LJA since October, and when i went out-of-town yesterday, not only did I have to check my friends computer, I told him he had to look too.

Not only am I an addicted Lumberjock, I’m spreading my sickness to others. I’m the worst kind of Lumberjock. I put their link on my home page, I have the “Pulse” link in my browser so I can look directly at what the other addicts have had to say.

I want to show everyone my wood… (I’m really a very sick individual)

The worst part is… I don’t want to change.

Atta Boy Todd,
When I got my PC a couple of years ago I asked one of the clerks in the store if they had a good manual for beginners. He told me the best wat=y to learn was just peck away at it yourself, & the computer would show you the way. He said you can’t hurt it. That’s how I learned the computer. , but I still learn a little everyday.

oh those famous works: you can’t hurt it.. just push the buttons (says my son) and then the next day he says, “what the heck did you do??” And then the next week he says, “how many times do I have to tell you—don’t.. blah blah blah” :)

To answer your first question, Todd – No, there is no help ;) At least you will discover your writing talent here… as many others did

(group) Hi Todd.

I accept that I’m a LJ addict. There are no other sites on the web. My wife can tell me what came via e-mail. eat, sleep, shop, lumberjocks. (not neccessarily in that order)

I thoght it was Lumberjock-y? er?... nah, skip the suffix.

Very excited about the green project – we need more of those!

I crashed my first computer within 90 days. I simply moved a folder to another place and when I rebooted it told me that I didnt have an operationg system.

Then I verbally told it “Yes I do, I stuck it in that folder right there. You just watched me!”

Hi Todd and BB

I can tell you an interesting story.

The VP at the telecommunications company that I worked for never turned off his computer. My boss was trying to get him to provide more space for our organization.

So we went down into my basement and made a little video and I took it and installed it into his Autoexec on his computer.

So he came into work, turned on his computer and called the President on the phone as his machine was booting. And all of a sudden at high volume the music for “It’s a small world after all” came blaring out of his computer with lots of space constrained photos.

He came to my office to see me about 20 minutes later.

But, I welcome you to LumberJocks. Isn’t this fun. Almost as much fun as making sawdust.

Good to see you and your work. I’m looking forward to your table.

Wait a minute… Is addicted a bad thing? I’m addicted to air, if I dont get it I’ll die. I must be addicted to sleep, cause i do it not only every night, but I take a nap every day.

Welcome Todd! Can’t wait to see more of your work.

you know you are addicted if it has a negative impact on the rest of your life…
so, if it is stopping you from getting out to the shop.. that might be a negative side effect
