    10 Years Old Today! Woohoo! 10 year ago Dave and I had just bought a smokin' dual-proc 350MHz machine with a whole GB of RAM and the first pages went up. It was my second visit to Toronto and I experienced my first snowday, my first deep-fried cheesestick, and a renewed aquaintance for Sleemans Honey Brown Lager. Our office was in the basement of a restaurant and in the mornings, sometimes, you couldn't concentrate for the sounds of the veal being pummeled into submission. My previous web experience was HTML and CGI and this whole new-fangled ASP thing seemed a little crazy, but I figured I'd give it a go. A pity no one mentioned to me that I'd soon count VBScript as my primary programming language for the next 4 years. Two days later I flew back home to Australia. Me, my 128Mb MP3 player, "ASP 3.0 for Beginners" and 14hrs of time to ask myself "what have I done??" We grew, and grew, and had growing pains, and bought more servers, gained more growing pains, and continued to grow, and 10 years later - a time when fairness would dictate we should be able to kick back a little - we're working harder, longer, and have yet to reach a point where we can even imagine "being finished". And we're still loving what we do, and I could probably speak for all of us when I say we love it more now than when it was still fresh and new. So a huge thanks to all those who have helped us along the road. From the article machines to those who live in the forums, all the way to the casual visitor who, 5 years ago, may have taken the effort just to drop us an email to say thanks. It all helps, every little bit. Here's to another 10 years :beer:

      And thanks for the Happy Birthday.

                      Chris, How strange/karmic, today is my tenth anniversary where I work. I got a $1000 and a cool telescope, what did you get Chris? I must say though, that CodeProject has been instrumental in my success here, so kudos and thanks for the great site. May we both continue to prosper and thrive. Digital Racer

It was my second visit to Toronto and I experienced my first snowday, my first deep-fried cheesestick, and a renewed aquaintance for Sleemans Honey Brown Lager. Our office was in the basement of a restaurant and in the mornings, sometimes, you couldn't concentrate for the sounds of the veal being pummeled into submission. My previous web experience was HTML and CGI and this whole new-fangled ASP thing seemed a little crazy, but I figured I'd give it a go. A pity no one mentioned to me that I'd soon count VBScript as my primary programming language for the next 4 years. Two days later I flew back home to Australia. Me, my 128Mb MP3 player, "ASP 3.0 for Beginners" and 14hrs of time to ask myself "what have I done??" We grew, and grew, and had growing pains, and bought more servers, gained more growing pains, and continued to grow, and 10 years later - a time when fairness would dictate we should be able to kick back a little - we're working harder, longer, and have yet to reach a point where we can even imagine "being finished". And we're still loving what we do, and I could probably speak for all of us when I say we love it more now than when it was still fresh and new. So a huge thanks to all those who have helped us along the road. From the article machines to those who live in the forums, all the way to the casual visitor who, 5 years ago, may have taken the effort just to drop us an email to say thanks. It all helps, every little bit. Here's to another 10 years :beer:

                              I'm late to the party, but still wish you guys a wonderful 10 more and then some years. This place is an amazing resource and the people in charge deserve many praises. You also deserve a 200lb bag full of large unmarked bills but I can't manage that much. Cheers!

                                  Chris, How strange/karmic, today is my tenth anniversary where I work. I got a $1000 and a cool telescope, what did you get Chris? I must say though, that CodeProject has been instrumental in my success here, so kudos and thanks for the great site. May we both continue to prosper and thrive. Digital Racer

                                        I think a lot of us start as lurkers, thats how we learn after all. Then one day you run across a question in the forums and go hey! I know the answer to that! and so starts another one down that path.

                                        Had that feeling once in a while... but still couldn't take the next step into Nish or Graus territory :). I've been a lurker since 2003 and enjoyed every moment. In fact i probably haven't ventured out of the Lounge since the last 3 - 4 yrs. +5 to Maunder for keeping the site alive and kicking for our collective benefits.

                                          That is one hell of a step, I have neither the time, dedication or knowledge to respond at their level. I do enjoy responding and the odd 5 you get in appreciation. Voting in the Lounge is a waste of time but a forum vote means a little more. Go on, be a man (if you are of the female persuasion then my apologies), put your credibility out there respond to some of the posts :-D.
