Techranger: The Testimonial

Congrats and welcome to kurniasan for becoming one of us Techrangers at /g/. Now we have 4 of us with different sets of tech knowledge & skills to be some sort of help-desk guys for GForummers generally. With the inclusion of kurniasan , we are close to become a standard rangers team (since it usually needs around 5 people to make it complete LOL). Anyways now it's my turn to randomly give some sorta 'testimonial' for all 4 Techrangers so far, including myself.

1. sharif-strike: The one who are acting as the head of all Techrangers (although all of use share the same green tag color LOL). He may not always around at /g/ (since he is a busy student) but he is quite responsible in performing his jobs there. Skills: most notably has access to core hardware like CPUs, graphic cards, HDDs & mobos as well as some 'modern' overclocking.

2. revolutionworks: Have a long time reputation of being the troubleshooting guy for GForummer's PC problems for many years already. Good at looking for solutions for PC problems on the web. Very reliable when it comes to sfinding solutions for strange/weird problems. Skills: More to delicate, detailed technical stuff as well as programming.

3. kurniasan: The latest member of Techrangers. In earlier days he doesn't look like to have interest in PC stuff but then it turns out that he could be of some help most of the time. Skills: A software guy, I must say. Have lotsa experience in quite a number of software that he is able to notice problems that might resulted from conflicting installed software.

4. halfey: yeah, that's me. I joined the Techrangers after I see the announcement that Techranger are having staff shortage as I believe I could be of some help too. The only Techranger with no professional background in ICT (either study or work). It's all from my experience and driven by my enthusiasm towards tech stuff. Skills: Most likely to possess certain amount of knowledge in networking & connectivity, particularly internet , peripheral interface as well as web 2.0. A very enthusiastic guy when it comes to tech toys. Have experiences in PC-modding and 'classic' overclocking.

Now, d'you have any problems in PC or have some curiosities in PC stuff that you'd want an answer for? Logon to our hive at /g/ and don't hesitate to seek help from us there. I'm sure at least one of us would be able to give you what you need.

We have added a new Techranger!

A gforumer, kurniasan has joined our party recently. It's nice to see a growing number of Techrangers, as things can get a little too hot for one man to handle. Besides, each of us have different experiences (with me being the least experienced actually), so we can combine our heads together as a team to solve all those problems about tech.

But as a reminder, Techrangers doesn't necessarily do tech support all the time. They can also submit reviews and news for a lot of cool stuff going in and out of the tech world.

I hope that our new member here can help us improve /tech/, for all your tech convenience. And to top it off, let's give a warm welcome to kurniasan :D

Attention All Gforumers, We Are Recruiting!

It comes to my attention that someday, I won't be able to handle all the stuffs in /g/'s Tech section. Well, the time has come anyway, with revo being quite busy with his life, and apparently I'm starting to get busy myself. Being a final year student, assignments are getting heftier, studies are getting harder, and more responsibilities are showing up. Added with the fact that my room no longer has any access to the Internet, I need to find more people to assist me.

So now we're recruiting new Techrangers. Basically, any gforumer can be a Techranger, as long as they will help us in any way possible for them. Just send an application to me and I'll consider your request to be one. You can do it via:

• Commenting to this post
• PM me in gforum
• Posting a reply to the recruitment thread
  

You'll receive a number of priviledges for being a Techranger. It isn't much, but it may help. So yeah, come and apply, now.

Update: Added another option for applications via recruitment thread.

Update 2: Gforum is gone, and the new Gforum Mark 2 still has no plans on having Techrangers.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Ah, the refreshing music from Arctic Monkeys plays in my favorite media player: foobar2000. Their music is somewhat unique and catchy, that I don't know which genre it belongs to. Anyways, I'm not here to talk about the album (which is the title of this post).


Out of boredom, I began to type in the keyword "techrangers" and "techranger" in Google. And so I discovered that we're not the only Techrangers out there. Simply put, here's the result:

1. CDWS: Techrangers
They are a division of Course Development & Web Services at the University of Central Florida. Obviously they have nothing to do with us, since none of us ever stepped foot on that university. Their role, however, is pretty much similar: provide tech support.

2. Flickr: Six Degrees of Techrangers
A collection of party pictures, probably related to the first result. Again, none of these pictures have us inside, so don't waste your time looking for us there.

3. High Tech Rangers FC Information
Some football club I guess. From Cheltenham League? Never heard of it.

4. http://techranger.com/
Pure rubbish. It's not even a real website.

5. Tech Ranger
On-site PC support & rescue.

6. Techranger's "just for fun" site
A blog about racing horses. Weird.

7. techranger.com blog
Honestly the blog doesn't make sense to me.

Other than that, it appears that someone is using "techrangers" as his/her username. Oh well...

First Post, and a Warm Welcome.

Ahoy there! Starting from today the Techrangers of /gforum/ will have their own official blog. You can expect those techy-geeky rants of ours in this very blog.

So yeah, nothing much for now, but we'll have something up soon. Stay tuned for more updates.

Bon voyage, mon ami!
