    OK, I know I'm supposed to be laughing, but either I'm really slow today or I just don't get it? :)

        Has anyone else noticed a new trend in UserID names here? There are a number of individuals using the format "Name / xxx programmer". I truly inspire greatness. :)

            You are indeed an inspiration and a model for all new developers. I myself was thinking about changing my name to one of: 1.21 Gigawatts / Static Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Shock Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Isolated Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Don't touch this Programmer But can't make up my mind... :)

              Does this mean we'll be trending towards unemployed developers now? Sorry, I know I shouldn't have. But as it is unlikely that JSOP will have trouble finding employment, I figured I could. ;P //L

                Probably yes, to be a programmer is a stressful thing.

                          Hey Maunder - could you get someone to run a query that analyses all the CodeProject usernames and count how many are in the form "Name / xxx programmer" please? I just want to quantify John's inspiration levels. That way, we have a benchmark we can all strive for.

                                      Does this mean we'll be trending towards unemployed developers now? Sorry, I know I shouldn't have. But as it is unlikely that JSOP will have trouble finding employment, I figured I could. ;P //L

                                        I was thinking of "Mark Wallace / PrettyCrappy Programmer".

                                        I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                          How about "1.21 Gigawatts / Power Programmer"?

                                          I like it, plus I like 'power' *Tim Allen grunt, Tim Allen grunt, Tim Allen grunt* :)

                                          Technically Gigawatt Hours would be power, Gigawatts is just Energy. :)
