I thought I should probably introduce myself seeing I'm here and all

I never know what to say in these intro's LOL so I'll tell you a bit about myself. I'm 27 this may

getting old. I just graduated from Canadore College business administration marketing program and work full time at <link removed>. I sell and market software solutions for the apparel industry. I'm in a long term relationship, ltr's a bad for weight gain. I enjoy website designing as you can see from the website review forums. Hmmm, well I guess that’s about it in short, thanks for having me and we’ll see you around the forums.

Welcome fellow Canadian....a big huzzah. I'm having fun with this, in fact it's keeping me from the real posts. I have posted a couple times though.

Welcome and enjoy the forum. I think you will find most people, warm, friendly and helpful.

What is your "angle" for web development - design, development, domain trading, graphics, seo etc.

chicgeek · 04-24-2007, 07:08 PM

Well I've owned my own site now for about 2 years. Right now I'm at my peak, as in this is the best my site has looked. I'm really not too sure where I'm going obviously or how I'm going to get there. For now I just try and remain active and give people a reason to come back. I’ve been looking around the forums here and I see many ways you people are making money and I wouldn’t mind doing that. I would like to make the cash doing impressions and clicks, if you could send me to a nice beginner’s guide that would be sweet. Maybe a forums that has something to read on where I should start if I was thinking about making money from my website. 2 years now and I haven’t made a penny, and it costs me $$ every month.

Laura, I just know he's from Canada....Canadore College is in North Bay & I'm pretty astute. After all, I am Canadian....huzzah!!! Oh, and I'm old as hell, 39 looking 29 and have been all over.

Your site actually has a nice clean feel to it Brian. Well done!

Pfft, I remove self-promotion links, not FYI links.

Oh, and huzzah!

bbrian017 · 04-25-2007, 12:46 PM

www.fdm4.com wasn't "self promotion" it's where I work and I was dropping it so people can see what I do for a living. This is my intro

guyfox · 04-25-2007, 02:31 PM

Cool. Business development and web design are all the rage now - you made a good career choice

bbrian017 · 04-26-2007, 06:28 AM

Thanks for the welcome guys and gals

I also think I made a good career choice. I don't actually do web design for a living just sales of software

The only web design I have ever done is at my site

lol But who knows what life brings, I could be doing for a living someday.

Welcome Brian

and anyone tell me what is huzzah

Cheers

simplystephen · 05-01-2007, 06:34 AM

Well, one of our members, Chicgeek decided that we should give a big huzzah (cheer) to every Canadian that joins the board. And what a great idea. While we don't catch all of em, eh, we certainly find a few of them.

The actual definition is - an instance of giving praise or applause; accolade

It's very addictive, in fact so addictive, I'm looking for a huzzah rehabilitation centre at this very moment.

KeithCash · 05-01-2007, 01:13 PM

Thanks for the info Stephen.

Found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huzzah

Huzzah (originally huzza) is an English interjection of joy or approbation. According to the Oxford English Dictionary it is "apparently a mere exclamation" without any particular derivation. Whatever its origins, it has seen occasional literary use since at least the time of Shakespeare.

Huzzah may be categorized with such interjections as hoorah and hooray. According to the OED, "In English the form hurrah is literary and dignified; hooray is usual in popular acclamation."

In common usage, such as cheers at sporting events and competitions, distinction need not be made by the speaker and the words are distinguished by regional dialect and accent.

Hooray comes from the Mongolian Hurree, used by mongol armies and spread throughout the world during the Mongol Empire of the 1200s. In Mongolian Hurree is a sacred praise much like amen or hellelujah.

The OED notes that in the 17th and 18th centuries it was identified as a sailor's cheer or salute, and thus was possibly related to words like heeze and hissa which are cognates of hoist.

U.S. Navy sailors belonging to aircraft carrier airwings have also recently adopted the term. In this context, it is used similarly as a cry of cheer or salutation, but with a tone of mocking of the similar "oorah" of U.S. Marines, "hooah" of U.S. Army, or "hooya" of U.S. Navy Special Forces and Search and Rescue Swimmers. It is called as a blatant jest toward those similar exclamations.
I thought the word sounded familiar.

some good info.

Cheers
