[Diesel]

Well what do you know, a Newbie again.

Firstly I'd like to express my gratitude at being permitted to join your Forum. I'm not sure if I can contribute much to some of the topics you discuss, but, if you don't mind, I would like to as and when if feel I can.

So, a little about me then, (I promise not to ramble on too long, for fear of one of these,  ).

I am Diesel, a knick name I have had since I was an Apprentice many moon's ago. Along the way I have done various different job's, from DJ to Large Event Security, but always keeping my feet firmly on the floor for my first love, which all thing Mechanical. The developments with AI in recent years, within my industry, require a completely different approach toward diagnostics. To this end, I feel that any conduit of knowledge and/or experience, should be sought, plus, maybe, a little bit of fun along the way.

Oh, BTW, I have a wicked sense of humour, for this, I apologise in advance. 

I think that will do for now, I very much look forward to conversing with you all within the forum

DIESEL! Welcome over, my friend! I'm glad you're here! This seems to be a virtual cascade of "crossover attendance", and I love it!

Look, don't worry about whether you can contribute; you're certainly welcome to, even if it's standing off to the side and cheering/jeering. There are a lot of really nice individuals here, and we carry on some of the most interesting conversations (well, I "look in" on a lot, at least). And a great many of us here have similar humors, so you'll fit in quite nicely. Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard Diesel or should I say traitor LOL.

Its ok, anyone who thinks I’m abusing Diesel, we know each other and are good friends.

There is one thing I can say about the man and that is, indeed he has a wicked sense of humour, watch out for that  .

Welcome to the madness

Hi from me too, diesel! (not certain where the nickname comes from though)

[Art]

Perhaps he was an apprentise as a Diesel mechanic many years ago...or NOT! Hehe!

Welcome to this brief interlude...nay, interuption in time, as you search for answers...
Uh...what was the question?

Oh yes...some of us even leave this place on a daily basis in order to perform dreadful
tasks such as WORK in order to keep these cyber-lines open. Ya gotta pay the bills!

Some of us even return here in order to absorb another daily dose of mind medling
and cerebral coaxing...but pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!! He's merely
a clone! The real person is one we call Freddy...watch him for he has the power to...
to... aughhh...I can't bring myself to say it...to change...
change you into a...
Trusty Member! (but only if you're good).

Enjoy the ride!!

Thank-you all for your kind words and very warm Welcome.

My nickname, (much better spelling that, thanks Bragi), does indeed originate from my time as a Diesel Apprentice. Back in the days when you no longer required an orphan waving a flag warning of impending DOOM from a Horseless Carriage, according to Datahopa. Thanks Mate.

Anyway, I need to get down to some serious reading, have you seen how much stuff is on this site.
