[s-grind]

hi there,

I'm S-GRIND, also known as Paul.

I'm 33 years old, father of the two best son's in the world.
I live in the Netherlands, work for an IT company and my specialty is software testing (TMap) and training/educating new collegues testing skills.

I like to play around in VB.NET, Oracle SQL (with PL/SQL Developer), php, mySQL, xml but since I do not have any technical background, I had to learn everything by myself and therefor I do not always come up with the most elegance solution, however, most of the time, my solutions work... ;-)

Due to my mother tongue (Dutch), my English is not always how it's ment to be, however, I try to write correct English sentences...

I also think the world is already serious enough, so I often try to write my comments with a smile, little joke or whatever.

Any questions? I'm glad to answer them!

Hello Paul. Welcome to Dream.In.Code.

My grandfather's relatives came from Holland. I think that's around you somewhere. My geography is not so good, though.

I think it's great that you try to write good English...we all should do that! And to include a smile is nice as well. That's what those smilies are there for, so people can figure out what you mean. It's sometimes hard to tell with just text. But please, whatever you do, don't make a message that is ALL smilies.

Thanks

See ya around the site.

Holland = The Netherlands

so, those relatives of your grandfather certainly are from around here somewere. The Netherlands isn't that big. :-)
About half the state of Ohio (the only state I've been to). But twice as much people is living here, compared to Ohio...

About the smiles; I ment the smile on my face, not those emoticons. I prefer not to use them that often. Or just the 'oldschool' one: ":-)". no images...
So, no, I won't make a message with only smiley's...
