What got you involved in SMF?
I found SMF when I started a website for a school group and I needed a php forum script rather than one in a Microsoft programming language. I choose SMF over phpbb because of the built-in SSI but I later discovered how much better SMF was than phpbb. I later changed my site from Windows & ASP > Linux & PHP. This meant switching from my previous forum software, Web Wiz forums.

do you have a nvidia or ati graphic card?
would you spend much on games ?
since you dont play games much, would you have liked to take an occupation as a high paying beta tester for games or a famour gamer ?
cats or dogs?
coke or pepsi ?
can we see a photo of you ?
He may have a digital camera
Nvidia Geforce 6200. I used to have ATI so I have tried both. I certainly prefer nvidia, I find the driver tools better.
If I know the game is worth getting although when it comes to games I am a bit cheapskate. I am waiting for the AOE3 expansion to come out before I buy it.
I was going to get Midtown Madness 3 for the PC but they scrapped it and made it XBOX only
Certainly a high paying beta tester. From what I have heard they get lots of money just having fun.
Dogs, they're more intelligent
Coke
hmmzzz, i wish you good luck getting your webcam to work in ubuntu, if you succeed, please send me a pm with a howto...
do you have a local testing server?
if so, did you used a prefab?(like xammp)
you know that the 64bit version of xp is just a layer so it will work on 32bit machines to?
do you know that if you use 64bit you dont need 64 bit drivers for it(so just install the one you have)
how long do you know php and mysql?
if i pay you a 100 dollars, would you let me takeover your position?
ever had/have your own project in php/mysql?
My second box is a Linux test box and dev server. It is currently running a broken gentoo. I will upgrade it to Dapper Drake when it is released.
I have a Apache, MySQL and php running locally as well for when it isn't worth transferring stuff.
I installed all components manually as it isn't difficult to do and I tuned it a bit.
The normal version of XP will work on x64 but will not allow you to use the x64 processor extensions.
The x64 version of Windows is compiled for x64 and will not run on standard computers. It is also more stable than standard windows because it uses the core from Windows Server 2003.
I know. All my hardware has x64 drivers except the webcam.
Long?
I don't know php and mysql very well at all.
It would need to be more than that. I would also need permission to give you the badge
I have one in development. There is currently nothing much happening with it because the sourceforge SVN isn't working
My function on the support team is to support
