I've been collecting WW1&2 stuff for quite some time (stopped 4 years ago). Even have parts of a Canadian pilot that was shot down in front of my house and digged up again 6 years ago. Yep, bones, some skin and hair Now I "collect" books. Not really collecting, but I just buy and read more books than an average reader I guess.

I'm still learning how to drive. In that case in Belgium you have to put a blue sticker with L on it on the back of your car. The purpose of the L is that other drivers know you're a student and to make sure they're for example not driving to close to you. The problem is that most think it's an excuse to cut me off or to leave me no space on small roads and such. What I also don't like (and it's always people driving in a Mercedes or BMW) is people driving too fast (we have strict limits here). But the worst thing is people who are driving while being drunk.

Welkom hier op de forums

I have a task at university for which I need to investigate a certain text we received. The thing we need to know is where the text comes from (book in which the translation is published), who has written it (if it's known), why it was written, etc. My text is about Amon. It describes who Amon is, in the sense of the "All-god". It also mentions the Ogdoad, Nun, Heliopolis, his unification with Re/Ra, etc. What I'm pretty sure of is that it's a hymn to Amon. Another thing I found it is that it should be a text coming from the Papyrus of Leyden. So if anyone here knows something regarding this papyrus or to hymns or Amon in generally it would be great to write it down here. Directing me to some literature (online or books) would also be much appreciated

You don't have a "never" option, for my case

Well we're busy with a new site and the one we have up now is just temporary. So you will have to wait a while intul it's online again, so it'll be back

Yep, no open positions right now.

Man you forgot John Travolta, my all time favorite

Nope DA is right: - accessibility problems for users with images turned off, text browsers or blind people (although that's nothing you should worry about) - not so structured and hard to navigate - long load times: bad for the server and the good ol' 56k user (that's most important). First of all, it's always great to see new people getting into webdesign. That's basicly how I started, so if you like doing it you'll improve a lot. Now, there's a lot to improve, although nothing much you should worry about yet. Graphics: I asume you use MS Paint or something like that. You better get something like Adobe Photoshop (pretty expensive), Jasc Paint Shop Pro (cheap, but not as good, but that should be suffecient for you) or Gimp (free, bad interface, a bit hard to use for a beginner). So instead of drawing your text type it. With photoshop for example you can accomplish stuff like this with text (made this just to test some effects, for my gf): html/css software I also started out using WYSIWYG editers (what you see is what you get), Dreamweaver most of the time. Actually it's a bad habit using them, you should better try to code it yourself. Html isn't hard at all, you just have to start and continue so you get the hang of it. Best thing you can do now is using the split view of dreamweaver so you can see both the code and the layout. Next step would be writing the html yourself while checking out how it looks in the split view. Once you're used to that switch over to code view only or switch over to a text only editor (notepad for example, very primitve but good enough for html). layout design It's important you have a clean and fast loading layout. Most important is the navigation. Make it so the navigation is displayed on every page and also that it doesn't use too much of the screen (a left navbar for example is good or some top links next to each other). Also watch out with using colors. Imo dark colors aren't that good for a website, you better go with some neutral or light ones. Just pick a base color and go further on that. Choose one or two colors that fit with your base color. You can also use variations of the base color like in these forums for example (many blue-ish variations). That's about it, but there's a lot to learn and you're never finished. A good start is this site: http://www.w3schools.com check out the html and xhtml tutorials. After that do some css stuff. While you do that learn working with some graphics software like photoshop or paint shop pro. Once you can manage all the very well learn a web programming language like php or asp and some SQL (for communication with db systems). That should take you about 2-3 years, but once you're that far you can design some pretty neat stuff. That isn't all though. Next to know the technologies you also need to know when, why and how to use the properly. A good site for this information is: http://www.sitepoint.com (some good articles on navigation and such) Designing websites is an exciting job, and you learn a lot more than just designing a website. If you like doing it I really encourage you to go on. Never feel bad if something doesn't work as you want, just move on and try more. Eventually you'll get the hang of it. And remember, basicly it's all about experimenting, so many things will go wrong, but if you do your best you'll accomplish what you want.

Welcome to the forums x-master!

Well just read some tutorials and experiment a little. Doesn't matter if it doesn't look too good, what counts is that you tried and that's what deserves respect Have a look at this site to get you going: http://www.thewebmachine.com/

And maybe you should also say which kind of program should be used like a 3D program or a graphics program like photoshop. I think you best go for photoshop, psp, gimp, fireworks, etc. instead of 3D applications since there are probably more people who can work with those.

Btw, I think it would be handy if you also added the context to certain quotes. For example the one by Charles De Gualle. Imo he's one of the greatest politicians of all time so I would like to know in which context he said that rediculous quote.

Congrats Brian and Ph4ntom!

I bet everyone is addicted to these forums. But that's all your fault!! You shouldn't all be so mature and nice

college student for history. Small possibility I'll stop studying and become self-employed though.

That's really cool you have horses, imo the most noble animals around. I hope I'll have the time once to afford me one.

Yep you can buy me a copy and send it to me

Mainly it's one thing, the rest is merely a result of this. I want to change something to this world, although it may be very small, but atleast I would like to make the life better and happier for some people. I study because I think you can't understand worldly problems in a good way without having a decent background and pool of knowledge. I do webdesign because I like doing it and maybe for a future job, because I would like to be self-employed. That way I have more freedom and maybe time to devote to other interests. The most important thing I guess is being able to have my own little family. Yep I'm still one of those old fashioned guys who wants to be happily married and have some children.

Yep, my dad used to be a farmer, so we had lots of animals (we only sold eggs from our chickens though, the rest was for pleasure, and the sheep for meat for our family). We used to have many race chickens, all kind of special ones. You know, those very small ones, or those with feathers on their feet.

1 dog, 3 sheep, lots of chickens (probably 15 or so, but we used to have 4.000 ) and two fish. We also used to have some cats, a turtle, 2 goats, 12 ducks, a sick hawk for a while (just a little one), 2 geese and 2 pheasants.

It was set like that for everyone, also normal members.

Hitler was a monster, no need to discuss on that because it's a simple fact nobody should doubt about. Ask the 6.000.000 jews he killed.

Lol, I don't think watching those battles or gladiators fighting in the colloseum would be that funny Maybe going back to the prehistoric period while I have the flue and infect our humanoid ancestors so they'll all die j/k Well probably like Black Op, to reveal all those historical mysteries (although those you quoted aren't mysteries anymore, but that's another topic).

I'm thankful towards my parents because of the open minded and liberal education they gave me and towards my gf for being there when I need her. I'm also thankful of course that I live in this great society. Well not so sure about that though, but it could be a lot worse of course
