He can't be at it all day, he'd never get any work done. Not getting any work done can be easily simulating by sitting in the lounge all day - but without the feeling of a bit of the other. Is the CP lounge therefore sex for us oldies?

But do you know what thinking about it leads to? If you do know, could you let me know I'm off to get my eyes tested.

I joined this community about six and a half years ago when I had just turned fifteen, I posted quite a bit back in the early days and I think I even had gold status when the criteria was different. At that age programming was just a fun hobby and when I got my first girlfriend I began spending significantly less time programming and here at CP. At age twenty one and in college for computer science now and with a job as a web developer I'm starting to spend more and more time browsing around here. I remember everyone getting excited about two million members and now theres over five. So many memories. The site has really grown and not just in members, back in the old days you would have been scoffed at for asking where the Linux section was. There was none, for this was a website dedicated to Microsoft technologies after all!:rolleyes: Its incredible to come back now, after almost a quarter of my life since joining and see so many of the same faces - Christian Graus, Shog, Colin, and so on. Is Nish still around? Its amazing how fast time flies.

Wait until a few decades go past, then you start measuring your age by technologies "I started on a Commodore VIC 20", "I began on a punch card system", "I was married around .NET 1.1", "I was such a punk when Windows 95 came out", .... :)

I already can! I start programming just prior to the fall of MFC and began school around the reign of .NET and emergence of Linux on the desktop. :)

I am indeed...a few things have changed, of course - these days I run a company with my partner, and live amongst the palm trees in Bournemouth. :) What are you up to now?

Congratulations on the business! I'm currently going to school in Boston Massachusetts at Northeastern University. I'm going into my third year of BS in Computer Science with a dual major in Multimedia Studies. Back when I used to post I was starting to get into photography and I've gotten quite into with that. Heres a photo study I did on abstract spaces: http://www.projectuni.com/oleyb/AbstractSpaces/[^] During the summers I've been working at a local real estate office, one of the larger ones in the area doing web design and general IT work. From my time there I'm starting to get a lot of job requests from other local businesses wanting websites and business cards etc. I'm actually going to be teaming up with an older sister of one of my friends and starting a small design business. She enjoys the creative aspect but doesn't have any interest in doing coding or any of that so we will work together. It should be fun. I also picked up mountain unicycling as a fun little sport! It's a blast, heres a video I made a few weeks ago: http://vimeo.com/1409682[^]

Thanks! It's hard work, but well worth it if you have the right mindset. :)

I have to admit I've not had the time to spend on photography that I'd like - although I do now use a Digital Rebel (Canon EOS 350D), which is a vast improvement on what I'm used to! FWIW my own degree was in Electronic ∓ Electrical Engineering - I've never actually met anyone in the UK who's done pure Computer Science. Should be interesting, though. :)

That's certainly a good way to get some general business experience. If you are having people coming to you for work unsolicited, you are well ahead of most new businesses when it comes to building a client base (seriously, you have no idea how many businesses start up an fail for this very reason). so take advantage of it. :)

That's absolutely mad, and totally trumps my old hobby of beating up friends with steel weapons! :omg: Your balancing skills must be way better than mine, though (I have a "known bug" in that area)...:doh: Have fun!
