Hey all, Just thought I'd point out that today for the first time CodeProject broke into Alexa's list of the top 1000 websites worldwide: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&compare_sites=&y=t&q=&url=codeproject.com/[^] Congrats to everyone and particularly my pal Chris Maunder for making this such an excellent adventure! It's cold here in Toronto and I'm thinking of warming myself up by the servers ;) David
Congratulations CodeProject Team, even if I see popularity as a boon and bane gift this is a tremendous achievement. Remembering how the site started and how others went, the most amazing thing is not the growth, but the continuity.

PJ I'm hurt :( It's all this hands-on TLC that has them working at their finest. ;) David

I have a club hammer (aka "The Persuader") in my network toolbox which always turns a few heads when I'm installing cables. I usually explain it is for making sure the plugs fit tightly into the switches/routers, because a tighter connection means a faster connection. Some people believe it - I shudder to think what might happen if they ever try to plug something in... Job security I suppose. :~

So to celebrate, we should have a :beer: for each 500 error :-D ETA: Guess what I just got a couple of. Did you guys do that on purpose ;P
Ian Darling The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity ... that such complexity can arise ... out of such simplicity ... is the most fabulous extraordinary idea ... once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened - it's just wonderful ... the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned - Douglas Adams -- modified at 6:40 Saturday 7th January, 2006

That's incredible. I remember how comparatively tiny it was when I signed up as #7539. Congrats! Jon Sagara Look at him. He runs like a Welshman. Doesn't he run like a Welshman? Doesn't he? I think he runs like a Welshman. Sagara.org | Blog | My Articles

I remember how programming-specific it was (and how much fun as well) the site was at that stage, too. It's a shame it has (IMHO) degraded in both respects. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 -- modified at 9:16 Saturday 7th January, 2006

You sound like my stepdad. He worked on a contract at a local observatory some years ago. One of the items in his toolbox was labelled the "Precision Optical Alignment Tool". It was a four-foot crowbar. The observatory dome tended to jam when it was within a foot of being closed, and you needed the crowbar to finish the job.
