Greetings and Salutations

by dsmotter » Thu Nov 14, 2013 12:43 pm

I thought it best to let everyone know a little bit about myself, since I have decided that this server will be my new home. Up to this point, I had been test driving this server for a few weeks.

I play Minecraft because it is an easy game to hop in and out of. I don't watch TV. I don't follow sports. But I do enjoy backpacking and camping (primarily with a local Boy Scout Troop that I am a volunteer with).

My Minecraft style is build it big, build it bigger, how much bigger can I possibly make it? The previous server I was on, is no longer in existence. My main fort there was massive (an estimate of the number of blocks that had to be cleared was 3.5 million). I hope to have similar scaled projects on this server. (my underwater city/base is starting out fine so far)

I am probably older than most everyone on the server.

I was a Sonar Technician on a Submarine in the US Navy (a nuclear powered fast attack submarine, SSN685)
I worked in a subset of the security industry. I used to fix all sorts of security related devices.
Not an all inclusive list:
    Card access systems
    CCTV
    Automated doors
    Automated gates
    Parking Control systems
    Revenue Control systems
    Intercom systems
    Vehicle Arrest barricades.
    Anti Terrorist systems

I have been programming in one form or another for the past 32 years.
I have been paid to program for the last 13 years (finally!!)
I have 2 kids, 2 grandkids and a wife of 28 years.

I am pleased with the level of moderation (I really hate cussing. In my opinion: if you can't communicate with someone without cussing, it is a sign of low intelligence.)

I hope to get to know everyone better.

edit: forgot a closing parenthesis.

Welcome to kreatious. You seem like a well-mannered and mature player. I think this server is perfect for you because many of us have this kind of mentality.

Greetings, dsmotter. I recently discovered Kreatious and like the way things seem to be run here as well.

Hope I get a chance check out your one of giant creations sometime - they sound pretty ambitious!

(I'm working towards that "finally employed as a programmer" thing too! Not there yet, though. Also, over the past couple years I've got in to camping by bicycle touring - heading out for a weekend or more with tent and gear packed on the bike, mostly staying at state parks but also visiting friends and more backcountry camp sites once or twice. It's fun!)
