Hello from a friendly otter.

[Nicholas Scribetail]

Hi there, I’m Nick. Been in the furry fandom for a long time (around 10 years now that I think of it), it’s where I discovered my love for writing and other creative pursuits. Haven’t been on a forum since I was a teenager, and I only have good memories really of checking in once in a while to participate in some friendly discussion.

A few things about me? Well, I‘ve been writing fiction for 8 years now, juggling it with other hobbies like gaming. Went to college for programming while working in trades ranging from Sign Design to Powdered Metallurgy. Still trying to pin down what exactly I want to focus on for a career (and possibly put myself farther in debt for), seeing as I‘ve had interests in everything from Art to Literature, Game Development, Web Design, Film, Review/Analysis, Coding/Programming, and even building my own computers (PC, Mac, and Linux friendly/fiuent). I also joined a Brony Analysis Community on YouTube, which has been a fun way of practicing video editing/production as well as analytical thought and discussion. Oh, did I forget to mention I’m a brony too? Eh, whatever.

In terms of my involvement in the furry community, besides writing furry fiction I used to Fursuit. I say "used to" because I owned 2 suits, but I gave one away to help a friend with her finances and the other had too be sold to help pay for student loans in 2 countries. Fun while it lasted though

Anyway, hope to have fun here and meet some new friends

Welcome to the forums, you sound like someone I could definitely get along with. I hope to go to college for the same thing, and very much enjoy Web design. Do you prefer windows, osx, or a Linux distro?

Good luck on finding your career path - sounds like although it may be frustrating not to have a definite path, you are still living a life that many aspire to have - variety, freedom, and a large range of skills and experiences

Thank you all for the warm welcome

(apologies in advance for the wall-o-text)
Well, if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask. Also, I find unique uses for each OS: Windows is great if you have the hardware to run such a bloated OS, very customizable if you know what software to get; though still not a fan of Windows 8/8.1. Mac is great best for multitasking (especially how it handles larger processes), it's UNIX architecture gives it huge advantages over DOS in my mind; plus it actually runs games really well (the ones that work on it that is). Only downside: Very High price, but the Customer Service at Apple is the best in the industry. Linux I use for just about anything else, it's light weight enough that it actually runs Ubuntu surprisingly well on my little Acer Aspire One netbook (2x core intel atom with 2GB DDR3 RAM), almost as well as Ubuntu runs on my 6-core custom desktop (made from parts I had lying around, didn't have any other CPU that fit the socket on the one spare Mobo). I love it cause it can extend the life of computers using older hardware, given they are non-proprietary machines that is *glares at HP*. Plus if you know what you're doing, customization looks something like this: You can customize Windows about the same amount you can a character in a SIM game; Linux can be broken down to it's DNA and recompiled back up however you want.

Good luck on finding your career path - sounds like although it may be frustrating not to have a definite path, you are still living a life that many aspire to have - variety, freedom, and a large range of skills and experiences

Thanks, and I never really looked at it that way to be honest. I've been kinda describing it as "spinning my wheels," but it's nice to see a different perspective on my situation, makes me feel a bit better about it
