Hello

[Vassago]

The name is Josh, I go by JD most of the time nowadays because too many people have my name. I get tired of going out and hearing my name constantly. I first got into Access through my previous employer. I was designing macros in vb to make my job easier and due to my supervisor showing my work off, I was offered an MIS type position. My first task was to update an Access database. I had never even seen Access before, so it was an interesting experience. Everything I first learned was from self learning and this site. I had to completely redesign the database due to the fact the creator locked his code, so it was a learning experience. Since then, I think I've come along quite a long way. I've gone from being mediocre in vb to pretty good in vb, vba, sql, Access, Reporting Services, etc...

I've also been an on again off again mod here due to business needs changing.

It's was a piece by Yoshitaka Amano, done for The Sandman series. Any game player should know who Amano is though.

I removed it because I was going to update it, but never got around to it.

Hmmm.... I don't know who Amano is........ I will google him later.... Was he a video game designer? Like the graphics part?

Yep, or at least from a character design standpoint. He did the Final Fantasy series. He's also the illustrated inventor of Vampire Hunter D, if you're into Anime.

Don't know Vampire Hunter D, but final fantasy I do. I can definitely recognise the style of you Avatar in Final Fantasy.... cool! I can understand why I should know him.

I don't follow that.

You changed your name because you got tired going out - what tires you out? Then when people spoke to you they used your name?

I can see that would be annoying.

There were always others with my name everywhere I went. When someone would say "Josh", I would turn and look thinking it was for me, when it wasn't. Less people use my initials, J.D..

 

[SOS]

Less people use my initials, J.D..

And even fewer use mine - OJ




(oh wait, that was just a nightmare I had)

 

[ColinEssex]

So did you have a long walk to the car that tired you out?

Col

 

[ColinEssex]

Even less would use V.D.

Col

 

[Vassago]

Even less would use V.D.

Yeah, but I wouldn't want to take your nickname either.

 

[ColinEssex]

Yeah, but I wouldn't want to take your nickname either.

You could if your name was Colin. . . . . . . "Col" is an accepted shortening of "Colin".
