I'm new, but thought it was nice. He might have a point. I'm more used to forums, and to say I haven't found my way around the site is an understatement. Instagrams and blogs and comments on comments not sure where anything goes yet. I think I'll lay low for a while. :)

Logan Lass said… Hey Joshua. Thanks for the offer, I'm sure I'll have many questions once I get under weigh with my own projects. And I like it very much up here, I'm in my final year now. Things are looking pretty good for the University for the next few years, they're finally getting their foot in the door; they just recently got a new patent for sense and avoid technology in the NAS. I can't remember the patent number off hand, but if you're curious I can get it for you.
By the way, Fighting Sioux forever! haha.
