Topic starter
 

Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I'm pretty stoked about finding this forum. A little about myself, I work for C&C Technologies in several departments such as land, shallow water ( coastline ), AUV, ASV, UAV, deep water tow, marine construction. I have an extensive background in software / hardware integration and hold certifications through CompTIA, Microsoft, and Offensive Security in the networking / security realm of computing. I look forward to collaborating with the group.

Don't look at me. I'm a kajillion miles from the nearest coastline.

Welcome, anyway. You will find this forum to be both educational and amusing.

How many zeros are there in "a kajillion miles"? The internet won't tell me....

Welcome Dave.

Also, I looked up kajillion and there was something about hyperbole and such. I didn't realize it was a term for geometry!B-)

Yes, of course....it's the hyperbole of a right triangle where one side is a bazillion and another is umptillion. ie: a (1kazillion)å?=(1bazillion)å?+(1umptillion)å?
