    I have got to stop this. I fell asleep on the couch while watching TV, it is now just about 3 am. I figured I might as well do a quick check of the barns before going to bed. And because I am sitting by the PC anyway I end up coming here to CP just to see what's happening. How many others are so addicted to this place that they stop in at all hours of the day or night whenever they have a spare minute or three?

    Yes, absolutely, for years now. In fact, the memory that always stays with me is that when 9/11 happened, I found out late at night because I did one final check of CP and saw someone post about it, went out and turned on the TV, then went back and forth to the lounge to find out what was happening. I am forever just doing one more check of the lounge and forums, in case there's anything I want to post in, because once I go to bed, all sorts of stuff will be posted and I'll never see it, I don't have time to trawl back again in the morning.

                    :laugh: Almost the same here. But then and there I end up getting away from CP to see if my Breakfast, Lunch and dinners are ready :-D.. But seriously I should get rid of this addiction. Whereever I see on the wall or somewhere, I see a dark green color just like you find one after you have a look at the sun! It's because of the bright orange color of CP. :sigh: Bob is a pure hypnotist :doh:

                            I come here quite often, but addicted? No, I can easily miss codeproject for three weeks ;P I think that this discussion needs a poll :) Because I wonder how many of us are addicted to CP.

I figured I might as well do a quick check of the barns before going to bed. And because I am sitting by the PC anyway I end up coming here to CP just to see what's happening. How many others are so addicted to this place that they stop in at all hours of the day or night whenever they have a spare minute or three?

                                      Errr, no . I check the Lounge first thing in the morning and during my morning tea and lunch breaks at work, and usually before tea and just before I go to bed at home, but that's it really. I very rarely visit on the weekend. I used to visit a lot more... :-O

                                        Why am I an idiot?

                                        static int Sqrt(int x) { if (x<0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); int temp, y=0, b=0x8000, bshft=15, v=x; do { if (v>=(temp=(y<<1)+b<>=1)>0); return y; :omg:
