Community Quality - Jon Sagara - Christian - Shog - Etc...

I'm still here. A bit subdued but I enjoy the distraction of reading the comments. One that recently hurt a bit was the post about quality here. Someone said, it's not as good and that they don't read forum X and Y anymore and they were going to head over to the soapbox to get some value. Can I rant for a minute? Folks, Code Project isn't a restaurant, it's not a buffet and it's certainly not a catered event. Code Project is the best damned open air picnic there is and you get whatever you choose to bring. Even better is that some people bring enough to share with others and the diversity and quality they provide is just pure *BOOM* one more time in case you missed it, BOOM!!! I've kind of been the squeaky wheel of late at CP and I have really mixed feelings about what I've done. I'm so glad to have gotten help but in doing so I think I changed people's perception of me in the process. That kind of sucks. I'm not sure that code-frog will ever really be code-frog again. Which brings me back to my point. Code-frog is only going to be whatever he brings to the picnic and shares with others and thanks to many of you over the last few days and some even years my picnic basket is pretty full right now and I'm talking up CP to friends, peers and strangers like it's the mecca of the modern age. There are so many amazing people here and I can run off a list of names that most of you would know so well you'd be able to say, "Yeah, good list frog but you forgot {name1}, {name2} and ->recursive loop<- here." But for me there are 2 people that have always been so close and so awesome that they might as well be brothers. Now BradMl is sneaking into that list because he's put some heroic effort into things lately so make sure he gets a nod. Christian Grauss (yeah big surprise) deserves a nod. I'm not going to list reasons and if you don't know them just hang out here. If you believe in a divine creator then that creator did something cool when he poured the mold Christian Grauss and that's all I can say. If you disagree or wonder what I mean then read a bit about CG. He's only got like 20,000 posts here and most of them could be printed in a book and turned into book and turned into a Best Seller. If life's a picnic he brings a lot to the event. But an unsung hero of mine has always been Jon Sagara. I don't think I can say enough about things he's done to help me out. I'm not the best ASP .Net developer there was in fact I suck. Were it not for Jon's patience and experience I don't think I'd be able to even run my own

That was a really nice entry. I really wish I was a bigger part of this community. I rarely ever feel like I truly belong anywhere, but at least I do try to fit in. I have to say that I really have a lot of respect for you guys. You probably don't realise how impressive you are to a kid like me. I'd like to say a quote from Shaw's Pygmalion: "the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she's treated." You've all treated me so nicely. I'm a true lady now. :laugh: It's 1:51 am here. That's probably why I sound so deranged. Sorry. :-D

code-frog, I know I havent been a member as long as some here and I only have a couple hundred posts but I "got your back" man, from one father to another, I dont know what I would do if something happened to my son and I think you have handled this admiriably. I know asking for help here had to be one of the hardest decisions you've ever made, one I'm not sure I could have made. In doing so, in my opinion, you truly showed what your daughter and family mean to you, a day doesn't go by where I dont think about you and your situation and I wish I could have done more. Also, from someone who suffers from a rare condition (as I've said before I suffer from one that affects about 1 in 500,000 people) and have had 4 (02JUL will be 5) surgeries due to it (this will be the 2ns one this year) I know what it's like, I've sat back and watched my family worry and stress over whats happened to me this year. This community is incredible, when I announced that I was having yet another surgery the outpouring of support was incredible, and from people who really dont know me from Adam no less. It is reasons like this (and of course the massive amount of knowledge in this community) that I decided to stay active here and support this community. So keep your chin up my friend, things that dont kill us only make us stronger.

Nicely said. I'm curious though... Did I at least make the 3rd Etc list? :) Just pulling your leg. Read your web site and I empathize with your troubles. I could pro'ly throw all kinds of pithy quotes and platitudes your way-none worth a damn, but as one who has traveled your road I can say with some authority that only one thing kept me going: Humor. Find something to laugh and smile about. It really does help.

Well my computer locked up and I lost that post once. It was longer I had part of it on the clipboard lost the rest of it and just gave up. I'm trying to copy a 45 gig file across NTFS partitions and presently it's frozen most of my memory in the process. This is from my phone as I sit here in idle boredom waiting for my computer to come back from the depths of paging to file instead of memory... So you were on the first list the first time but I guess that became the crash list and I bet it's somewhere in a firefox temp file but... only Shog or David Stone might know if that's true... As far as humor goes mine is usually pretty good. I was in the emergency room last week in enough pain that I was ... well anyway. Got a catheter because the pain was so intense I couldn't pee. I've been telling jokes about that in the last few days so that either means my humor is doing fine or there is something really wrong with me and the pain medicine really isn't helping that condition but hey... You heard the one about the two guys walking into a bar right? I guess it hurt.:laugh:

Yeah, I saw your OP on your condition and pending surgery. I felt like me commenting would have just seemed kind of cheap towards you. I know what some of the challenges are you face (clearly not all of them). It's always so awkward to talk with people about it. If you tell them the whole story it takes forever. There are so many details. When it's all done you are either bored from it or exhausted by it and that depends literally on how you are doing at the moment and who you might be speaking to. In the end it's just draining because you know they don't understand. For them they probably get to go home, back to work, school whatever and forget about it. Heploc's, 02 saturation, respiration, absorbtion, malabsorption, colostomy bags and things just really don't mean anything. I could go on and on but you *know* what I mean. It's just mentally exhausting at times and there are days where you wish you could just get away. Then there are times where you actually forgot about it completely and were really enjoying yourself and life but then something happens and it crashes you back to the fact that it's not over and it probably won't be anytime soon. My wife was with me in my office this morning and she said, "So how are you getting these people involved and getting them to give like this? Are you telling them we have medical stuff with Katie? Are you telling them how much debt we do have? How are you getting people to give?" and for both of us it's hard to tell the whole world that despite outward appearances we cannot keep up with life anymore. Her concern was that people would know we had a lot of debt. My response to her was, "We cannot make it alone anymore. We are lying to ourselves if we cover this up and it's going to kill us. We have to swallow pride and people have to know that we cannot afford to continue Katie's care on our own nor can we afford the hardship her past care has put on us." She nodded and then I said, "You don't have a kid like Katie, lose your job, lose your home and then try and start your own business because you cannot find work and not have a lot of debt. Anyone who truly thinks about our situation can add that up on their own and we could even lie about it but they would know differently." She looked at me for a minute and I could tell something changed. She bought into what I'm doing and she said, "Yeah, you are right. We are maxed out and something has to be done. We need some help." It's hard to go public with need and make your life and your kid into some charity poster-child. The

My back is hurting really bad and I'm thinking that going out and laying on a shady part of my drive way in the 90 degree temperatures might feel really good. Sometimes I think cats have all the secrets to life if only we could understand them. They always seem to find the sunshine and then they make sure that they take up the best part of it in the most comfortable spot. Sounds rather nice and I might go give it a try for a bit.:bob:

Always loved codeproject and still love it. It's a great place. I agree with you that people should invest instead of just consume. That will keep things great here. Btw, I hope life is going to smile up on you once again :)

Life has truly always smiled upon us. I think for me true wisdom has come from realizing that I needed to swallow my pride and ask others for help. People say that takes courage and humility. Not really. I think it means you have to trust people who really are trustworthy and deserve your respect enough that you ask them for help. My request is not much different than asking for help in one of the programming forums. Christian has the ability to answer many requests for help in the C++ and the C# forums and so he responds to the needs of others by doing so. He's giving his time and knowledge to do it. My request isn't much different. Those who have the ability to respond with an answer will and not even think twice about it. What baffles many (and I've been told this in email) is why I didn't ask sooner. I've been told it's such a small thing to them to help why did I wait for so long. If there was any wisdom that I could impart to anyone in life it's that you need to learn to trust those around you and ask for help when you have a true need. In my case I don't need to know how to work with memory mapped files or how to marshall data across process boundaries. My need is different but others have the ability to help if they only knew about it. I'm at fault for not asking, trusting and believing in others sooner. The inverse of this of course is that I have to be willing to help others and that's always been my goal with http://www.pediatricparents.com[^] (there's nothing there but it's been registered by me since 2003) and as I start to get more momentum on this I'm going to turn that site into a resource for parents like Deanna and I. If I knew before Katie was born what I know right now I would have been paying $22 a month for an insurance policy that would have paid us $2500 a day while Katie was in NICU. I also would have enrolled Katie in Social Security Disability the moment she was born, it would have been free and guaranteed. That would have made all the difference and we'd be so far ahead in life right now. That's knowledge that other parents could surely benefit from and if I keep it to myself I'm only hurting the trust that could exist in the world between strangers. I think life is shining more brightly now than it ever has before because I'm now in a symbiotic circle where I am being helped and it's enabling me to help others. This is going to be a great thing b

Even better is that some people bring enough to share with others and the diversity and quality they provide is just pure *BOOM* one more time in case you missed it, BOOM!!! I've kind of been the squeaky wheel of late at CP and I have really mixed feelings about what I've done. I'm so glad to have gotten help but in doing so I think I changed people's perception of me in the process. That kind of sucks. I'm not sure that code-frog will ever really be code-frog again. Which brings me back to my point. Code-frog is only going to be whatever he brings to the picnic and shares with others and thanks to many of you over the last few days and some even years my picnic basket is pretty full right now and I'm talking up CP to friends, peers and strangers like it's the mecca of the modern age. There are so many amazing people here and I can run off a list of names that most of you would know so well you'd be able to say, "Yeah, good list frog but you forgot {name1}, {name2} and ->recursive loop<- here." But for me there are 2 people that have always been so close and so awesome that they might as well be brothers. Now BradMl is sneaking into that list because he's put some heroic effort into things lately so make sure he gets a nod. Christian Grauss (yeah big surprise) deserves a nod. I'm not going to list reasons and if you don't know them just hang out here. If you believe in a divine creator then that creator did something cool when he poured the mold Christian Grauss and that's all I can say. If you disagree or wonder what I mean then read a bit about CG. He's only got like 20,000 posts here and most of them could be printed in a book and turned into book and turned into a Best Seller. If life's a picnic he brings a lot to the event. But an unsung hero of mine has always been Jon Sagara. I don't think I can say enough about things he's done to help me out. I'm not the best ASP .Net developer there was in fact I suck. Were it not for Jon's patience and experience I don't think I'd be able to even run my own
