Hiya, I'm still new to noding, so advice is appreciated.
The idea that E2 is unfriendly to new noders was not true for me in the least.
I have felt very welcome here. Thanks to all of you for having me.

(Naturally, I stumbled across punch thyself immediately after writing the above.)

Things to node:
  • Super Smash Bros. Melee; I'd love to do a character-by-character breakdown of the game. Melee is an impressively deep and unique game that I have a lot of experience with, and e2 seems like a pretty good medium for sharing that experience. Still, if you think something like that is inappropriate for e2 and would go better on a place like GameFAQs, let me know.
  • Bioinformatics. e2 has a rather large base of Computer Science-type knowledge in it, and a lot of users that appreciate algorithms and associated puzzles. I would love, for example, to do an in-depth analysis of common protein folding techniques.
  • serwis w budowie. Nuff said.
  • More stuff to come later!

Song lyrics that form Numb's head-noise:

Sheven-eleven groove. Move!
Group X

I'm kicking that stone
Down your street, alone
ATB

And reason is spinning itself into gold
And all time is frozen once reason's been sold
Splashdown

Music surging bedroom dance
Crazy, spinning, sultry glance
I inhale your presence still
Vienna Teng

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
DJ Shadow

Listening to the radio, I feel so out of place
There's a certain something missing that the treble can't erase
I know you can tell just by looking at my face
A word about my weakness: I'm totally addicted to bass
Puretone
