Code Project Meetup Day

Given a choice you actually *chose* Toronto over Vancouver or Victoria, you're a Torontonian as far as I'm concerned until proven innocent. ;) Coopers sounds fine though, get those minions on it. :)

Chose? I was lured here during the hottest Summer on record 10 years ago. I was plied with alcohol. I was, in a word, scammed.

Yeah I supposed you're right, who would choose to live in Toronto after all? :)

No offense...but I don't think I want to meet with most of you. ** Flame Away **

Look up the definition of "policed". ;)

We should all meet in Hawaii. I'm sure Chris will be happy to foot the bill.

No no, I think we should all meet in Thailand. Thailand is the best value holiday I've ever had, doesn't have tricky Visa requirements for us non Americans, and in general would be easier for us people living in the Asian region to get to.

Yeah, imagine meeting for example, JSOP, only to find out he is a grossly overweight bald guy, and the only thing he is capable of shooting is the breeze. Much better to keep it online. ;P
John, meet Target.

WE ARE DYSLEXIC OF BORG. Refutance is systile. Your a$$ will be laminated. There are 10 kinds of people in the world: People who know binary and people who don't.

Aw c'mon. You know perfectly well that most of time bars are full of assholes.

I know what the word means and I used it correctly. So what's your point?

I hear for people who have esophageal cancer it is the only way...... -- someone even died from alcohol poison via champagne enema... :omg:
I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

how many CP members doesn't drink?
Total # members - members that do drink = CP members that don't drink Should be easy enough to figure out.

You would need to include beverage of choice, and maybe a sub-poll along the lines of why not? :laugh:

I propose we have a day each year where all Code Project members actually get off their computers and meet with eachother in some public location. Here are the proposed details:
- When: the first Saturday night of August.
- Where: local pubs.
I know a lot of members don't like to post their location online. Somebody should build a mobile device app that will anonymously post a person's location. It will require Code Project login details so other's don't try to use it. And it should be on multiple platforms (maybe even one on Code Project for members who don't have smartphones). We can then use that map to find the best places to meet other Code Project members. Maybe we could even have a pin/wristband or something that identifies us, so we can spot eachother. This meetup day should be announced in all Code Project emails sent prior to the day. And Bob should dress up for it too. Now we just need Chris to ratify this proposal. :)
I totally agree, but since Codeproject is a worldwide community I'll be waiting my plane ticket paid by Codeproject with the destination to the caribbean's meeting point. :cool:

Wouldn't one usually say "brass is polished" rather than "brass is policed"?

Why would I want to polish the brass casings that are being ejected from my gun? It would make way more sense to police them so that the lawn mower does not throw thousands of projectiles across the yard.
