Introduce yourself!!!

I'm Brian. I guess compared to most of you guys I'm a bit of a lurker
I've just relocated to San Francisco from San Diego working as a developer for an enterprise community software company called Lithium. Kinda followed my girlfriend up here but I have family and friends up here too that I'm reconnecting with.
I've been in California my whole life but after graduating in '12 from UCSD (comp sci) I went travelling in Europe and Asia. I used to go to Mexico a few times a year in San Diego and I've even been to Canada! I went to Victoria though so not much experience in Canada... Yet.
I love making music and if it paid more that's what I would actually be doing, but a close second is programming and webby stuff. I've been online since around 96 when I was in middle school, putting up pages in angelfire and geocities, using cutting edge technologies like frames! I even started dabbling a little in JavaScript to make a fancy navigation bar. Little did I know how big this language was going to be...
I stopped doing that for a while though to meander off into studying music and biotech in community college, where I earned a degree in biotechnology production and a certification to be a bio technician, which I abandoned right after earning it :D. It did come to my aid, because that degree got me a job at Diageo in wine country for their wines division which was awesome. I started building computerized systems for them (as a technician, which was waaaay outside my job description), so I knew I should study computer science.
So yeah now I'm just getting settled (back) into the Bay Area, which is completely different from when I left... In a good way

@Carl just in my own humble opinion, you can get away with not learning PHP. It's a bit of a broken language, and an older technology. You should take a look at things like NodeJS, ruby, JavaScript, .Net etc, for web stuff. Languages like Java, C/C++, Python, and the like will only make you way better; learning the different languages and their paradigms will be super beneficial in all your other coding endeavors!

This is my first time on this forum and boy, am I happy to find this.
I have been hunting for the best forum engine for over a month. It has almost become an addiction. I decided to go with Vanilla a week ago but soon found out that the best of Vanilla is for their hosted service which is not cheap. I have used vBulletin & IPB and as a result grown tired of conventional forum software. This is actually the first time that I would be truly wowed. This is amazing, guys! Keep up the great work!

@julian If I don't convince at least one person to sign up for your hosting in the next year, I'll consider that a failure on my part. Gotta do anything possible to make NodeBB your full time jobs!
That's what I'm saying!

Dislikes:
Loud WomanSounds you don't like lots of women
Maybe I should correct to "soccer moms".
Being a work-at-home Dad, I'm realizing quickly how many insanely loud women there are in this world. More than I ever expected. Problem is, they say almost nothing of value or interest 99.9% of the time.

Hey Guys,
My name is Simon, I'm 24 years old and from Germany. I am fascinated by Node.js and since I am about to launch a new BB soon I am happy to have found this awesome piece of code.
I am working on my own realtime application for more than a year now and I hope that I will be able to both learn from and contribute to this project by using it in production.
I intended to post more details about me but it is really hard because I only see two lines of the textarea on my mobile device (HTC One), so I might write it on my desktop tomorrow
First question: I would like to start a thread to simply write down all the things I miss or think that need to be optimized respectively modifed. Which category should I use for such purpose?
