Hello mateys, I'm a warm hearthed college student from the scandinavian country, Sweden.
I'd guess I should tell you some about myself so you get to know me, right?
I'm currently on my firts college year, studying the natural sciences and English up to the Cambridge levels, hence I have no problem speaking English with you ;)
There's alot of things I enjoy in life, so you can talk with me about most things, I will listen:)
And how did I get here, well probobly by the same reason you are here, I fancy the LBT movies and series, quite the intressting story behind that. Tell you later.
I'm looking forward to posting here, I hope I don't sound to haste...
See ya

Welcome to the forum. Interesting subject you are studying and a noble goal, I hope you achieve it.

w00t Scandinavia!
Welcome to GoF!
By the way, I like your goal. I would study biochemistry. It would help you achieve your goal.
-
A cure for cancer would be lovely! But...I'd be more excited if it was a cure for Alzimers :( . Then my great grandmother could have her memories and have something to look back on when she finally kicks the bucket :cry2
-
Hey there! :wave Have a fun time posting.
-
Hiya there Littlefoot4ever :wave! Yeah, we find LBT amazing here so we'll be great cyber pals ;). Cure for cancer? Best wishes for ya to achieve such a noble goal. Miilions will thank ya :yes. Anyhoo, welcome! We're very friendly here :^.^:.
-
Hi there! I'm Lain! Nice to meet'cha! :wave

One more thing, I have a goal in life; to find a way to cure cancer, or if you like, destroy it. I belive it's possible.
A very dear aunt of mine currently recovers from a chemotherapy she had to undergo. Luckily her cancer was discovered in an early state and it was what they refer to as "benign" cancer so she will make full recovery.
Looking at all the hardships she had to endure because of this "benign" cancer the idea of a malignant case of cancer is really terrifying. littlefoot4ever, you have set yourself a high, but very important goal in live and the first thing it takes to do something supposedly impossible is to give it a try. I wish you all the success that there can be :yes
-
Hello littlefoot4ever. welcome to the forum. Finding a cure for caner is a truly noble goal. My uncle passed away in 2006 fromm brain cancer..so cancer has touched my life in that regard.
-
Hi, littlefoot4ever, welcom to GOF! Be frendly and post a lot and I hope that you will stay at this board for a long time. :)
-
Hello there :wave . Nice to meet you. I hope you have lots of fun here, and good luck with the goal you want to reach. :)
-
Have you actually thought up any ideas for combating cancer? Or are you focusing on aquiring the skills?
-
Welcome mate to the GOF
Post lots, be friendly and keep you goal in mind.
Good luck

I can see we'll get along fine littlefoot4ever. Welcome to the GoF!
Hehe, I'd guess so. I see you like Final Fantasy eh? Then we have something in common! I bought FFXII today on my PS3, terrible resolution on my HD-TV but still, what a game.
-

Yeah...I guess cancer's not the cause of all suffering... I hope that Alzeimers will be cured as well. Sorry about your grandmother...

Do you get to work much on grammar? We do...ALOT.
Since we are going to do the Cambridge exams, our teacher gives us lot to work on, It's crazy!
History! Great subject! I study it to, currently I'm doing some work on the Inca empire.

Well, I think no one can do it ALONE.
What I wanna do is being a part of an research team, and work with it.
The reason? I hate that people have to die early. It's unfair...
Besides, i want to do something that has some meaning and goal. I don't think I could work so well otherwise.
-
Hello littlefoot4ever. welcome to the forum. Finding a cure for caner is a truly noble goal. My uncle passed away in 2006 fromm brain cancer..so cancer has touched my life in that regard.
I'm terribly sorry to hear that... My feelings are with you.
-

I'd guess I'd say both :)

Thanks mate
-
Oh my, so many answers in so little time. That was a flabbergast, lol.
Thank you all for your warm welcome!
And, I know that curing cancer could be concideredas a noble goal, but I'ts just really something I want to do.
All people in the world have the right to live long, wonderfull lives. No families have to lose a member because of that... :angry:
And biology, medicine amd global problems interessts me, that's why. :P:
I am convinced, you're all a jolly bunch of people! :DD
Just gonna update my profile with avatars and msn and such bla bla bla, and I'll be up and going. I see ya all later! :wave
L goes B goes T goes amazing

Woa... just the other day I said:
Woa... never seen a triple post before.
This...is an...octavuple(?) post... I would advise you that this type of thing is generally frowned upon in forums, although you can get away with quite a bit here, seeing as we're all friendly.
And yes, I do love Final Fantasy. VII is my definate favourite, although I've only got VI-X (and X-2 actually, although I try too think about that game as little as possible...).
Again, I hope you stick around. It's quite sad to see someone open a welcome topic, and then drift off into the ether...
EDIT: Now you've nonuple (novulple?) posted...

What those that mean?
-
A double post is when you post twice without anybody else posting in-between your posts. So a novuple (yes, I made that up from Latin- Novem (nine)) post is when you post nine times in a row.
Hope that helps.
-
Ah, okay.
I'm sorry if this caused trouble.
I just got more anwers than I'd expected, why I made several post I dont know.
And I am worthless when it comes to introduce myself. First introduction gives you the picture of the person, right?
And now I fear that all of you consider me as braging about my goals.
Please, that was not my purpose! I am absolutly no better person than anyone else.
:cry2

The theory is that you can edit your last post instead of making a new one, keeping the boards cleaner. No big deal. Even I double and triple-post sometimes (with the intention of updating the last activity time on that topic, bringing it back to public attention so the latest update doesn't go unnoticed). :p
Try not to do it too much but it's no big deal if you have a few posts in a row around here.
In this case littlefoot4ever, you could have clicked the "edit" button next to your first post and put in the rest of the messages in to that one single post, instead of posting a little bit in each post.
And now I fear that all of you consider me as braging about my goals.
Please, that was not my purpose! I am absolutly no better person than anyone else.
Bragging? B) Not at all, mate! Don't worry about it. :yes :wow
-
Thanks, I feel more reliefed now.
-
Everyone makes mistakes! :lol
Just follow Action9000's advice and you'll be fine. :D
-
I see, that's great!

History! Great subject! I study it to, currently I'm doing some work on the Inca empire.
There were obligatory grammar classes during the first two semesters at the university. Though those classes were certainly something I had to work hard to manage I really feel they have done me a lot of good. I'm not exactly a "grammar fan" (putting it mildly) but those classes were much more aimed at the practical use of English than some linguistic classes were which I had to attend in the same semesters. I kept the reader of my grammar classes and it is a really handy work of reference. There are some tasks in that reader where even native English speakers might have to think about which is the right form to use in some sentence.
Meanwhile however I could pick my major fields of study (choosing between linguistics, literature, cultural studies, and special languages) and focused mainly on cultural studies.
You're writing about the Inca now? That's an interesting topic. It is such a pity how much was lost with the destruction of this fascinating civilization. Their skills in building roads and bridges easily matched the abilities of the ancient Romans, with the difference that most of the Roman roads are not built in as difficult terrain as the Andes mountains. Their system of communication with rested message runners relieving each other every few miles was probably about as fast as it could have been without any mounts or vehicles. From what I read in one book they even found mumies which had plates of silver inserted into holes in their skull bones and those silver plates had coadunated with the surrounding tissue, suggesting that the Inca's (unable to work with any metal harder than bronze) were capable of conducting sucessful skull surgery that is complex even today.
Do you have to write about the Inca in English or in Swedish?

I know, I'm late, but I'm here. Welcome to the Gang of Five. :wave
-
Hey Malte,
Intresting... Do you get to learn AM english or brittish?
My class's learning brittish english; however, I think that AM english is more 'relaxed'.
And, I get to work with the Incas in swedish, now focusing on their ancestors, the Nasca. I guess that you've heard of them as well :lol:
-
Intresting... Do you get to learn AM english or brittish?
Sort of mixed. I have lecturers from both the United States and Great Britain. I cannot say for sure what my own English would sound like as I lack the ear of the native speaker. I suppose my English is usually sounds more like American than British English (due to a student's exchange), but I'm not sure on that. I definitely still have an accent. Maybe some of our native speakers with whom I have had microphone chats can tell anything about the sound of my English? I would really appreciate any feedback on this.
And, I get to work with the Incas in swedish, now focusing on their ancestors, the Nasca. I guess that you've heard of them as well
I heard the name, but that's about it. I suppose there is a lot that I can learn from you :)
-
Hey Malte,
I'd love to tell you about the Nascas.
But that will be on another topic or msn, and when I'm not lying in my bed, using my cell phone to type with lol! I gotta get to the family computer!
My right tumb hurts badly
:bang

Hi and welcome to the Gang of Five! :DD
Why did you use the same Avatar how Nimrod?
-
Hey Loofah,
That I did'nt know, I just picked a random of my pictures on my computer.
Now I've changed it.
And if it used by another member again, this one has been photoshoped.
And remember, I have only been here for three days...
-Perhaps someone can help me edit my avatars resolution...
-
-Perhaps someone can help me edit my avatars resolution..
I'm sure someone can. We are a rather helpful lot ;)
Is there any motive (any scene from any movie) which you would really like to have as an Avatar? Maybe somebody has a readymade picture which you would enjoy as an avatar :)
Your current avatar (though photoshoped and therefore individual of coures) is the same motive as the one used by Littlefoot-1616 for his avatar.
-
Or a favorite character from any movie if you can't think of a favorite scene.
-
Hello:
Oh, sorry for the late reply but I've been a bit of away doing other things :blink: , welcome to the forum and I hope to see you often in here :DD .
-
Hehe, you see how hard it can get.
Nah, if anyone would help me with a 'somewhat good resolution picture of Littlefoot', I would be very happy and gratefull!
Hehe, one when he looks suprised/shocked, face-picture screenshot would do it.
I just don't know from which sequel...
/thinking...

Hello Littlefoot4ever! Welcome to the GoF!
-
Not sure on the size an avatar can be and never made one so it may be awful.
-
:wave Hiya Littlefoot4ever :wave
Welcome to the Gang of Five forum. Seems as though you've already made yourself comfy here so guess there's no need to suggest that. Your avatar had me confused for a sec there coz that was the avatar I used to use before my current one. :lol
Anyway, enjoy your stay and cya on the board!
TTFN!
Littlefoot-1616 B)

Your avatar had me confused for a sec there coz that was the avatar I used to use before my current one.
And I missed that you were not using that one anymore. So you are the only one with that avatar littlefoot4ever.
Congratulations ;)
-
Hehe, now that's better! Flower Power!
-
Gotta make up my mind... silly old me...
-
I don't know anywhere else to post this
Okay I've had enough! How can it be so brainbreaking hard to resize an image to 25 KB and 120 px wide without making the reslution go crazy!!!!
I'm so noobie on Photo"Flop"! :angry:
Any help appriciated, please any of you guys! I know I'm a pain!
I've been struggling like an animal.
/begging

Welcome to the GOF!
-
The only picture resizing I've ever used is the xp powertools that is called: Image Resizer Powertoy. In the advanced setting you can put in 120 into each window and that is now many pixels it'll be. The install program is 520Kb.
The link to the list of Xp powertools is: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...ppowertoys.mspx (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx)
The image resizer is the 5th from the bottom on the right side of downloads.
-
Is this one an option for you?

Hey Malte,
yeah, that's the one I've been trying to @ modify!

Hey Kor,
Okey, I'll try it out. Thanks for helping me out! :)
Hey f-22 "raptor" ace,
Hello to you to! :DD
Your picture in your signature... do you happen to know about SAAB?
-
yeah, that's the one I've been trying to @ modify!
What modification do you have in mind? What do you want to change about the picture. The size it has in my post above is the permitted size for a GOF avatar. Are there any other aspects that you would like to have changed about it?

Hey Malte,
Negative, it's a png file, the size being 118 KB, 320 * 240 pixels...
I've been trying to crop, "image size", normal shrinking in Picture Viewer, everything. I also changed it to other formats, such as JPEG and btm.
I think I have a dozen of the same picture in my picture map!
Try and send it to me again, and I'll see if it works.

-
I wasn't referring to the picture I sent to you on MSN but to the resized JPEG version of it which I posted here yesterday. It is a JPEG of a size that can be used for an avatar. Here it is again:
(http://mitglied.lycos.de/malte279/Littlefootavatar.jpg)

Looks like it works just fine now, thanks to photobucket and some exelent help from other members!
Special thanks to Malte, thanks mate, that made it eh?
Thank you all!
