Another new Steemian's introduction

First, here's a glimpse into my life. Since a very young age, I have loved one of the most intricate inventions of mankind and everything surrounding it: the computer. I'm proud of being able to gain advanced control of the tool everyone uses more than 8 hours a day, yet, according to my real-life observation, not many bother to understand.

Some evidences I'm a computer geek: Linux, virtual machines, Git, keyboard shortcuts, crave for more RAM and monitor (I cannot multitask efficiently, so let the computer do it - it's better at this).

Second, about my writing style. I am not a full-time blogger, and even have less time to write than a hobbyist. Most of my posts will be very short and abstract, possibly lack of detailed examples and images, and will likely require anyone reading to contemplate for a while.

A little more about myself: I overcame the longest depression of my life two months ago. It was all thanks to myself thinking differently - I have never told anyone my full life story. I escaped the old thinking patterns which have held me back from enjoying life with everyone around me. Therefore, I believe changing mindset is the first important step to solve most of the problems in life.

Thank you for paying me a visit. This may not be my only self-introduction post. Someday I will write more. Maybe :)

Hello greenlaser! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
