One day a workmate suggested me
CodeProjectas useful source of programming info. I said enthusiastically: "Oh, yes, I know it. I've written a couple of articles". He didn't mention CP again, I don't know why.Veni, vidi, vici.
Did you hijack his thread(s)? :-D

No, but I did introduce a colleague to the CodeProject. He is a bit of a electronics hack and is always busy fettling. When the CodeProject was running the Hardware competition I suggested he writes an article and submit it. Off he went, joined the Codeproject, wrote the article, submitted it and won the 1st Place prize of a robotics kit. Which he kindly gave to me for the kids. He won with this article; Radio Control Transmitter - Joystick[^]

I have never met anyone who knows CP. The only other French CPian I know on CP is toxcct, but I am not sure he is still here. So the probability is really low.

Yes, a number of times though it is not as well known as it ought to be. You'd think, with 8.5m members it would be better known - perhaps CM needs to do some active marketing!

I haven't switched jobs, so the answer is NO. However, a few years ago I mentioned something to my son and found out he is a member here and has posted an article. The grandkids make sure we rarely talk about work when we get together.

As hard as it might be to believe, I rarely meet anyone (programmers) locally that even knows about Codeproject.

If you had told him how you found code snippets there that you were able to use in your peoject, you would have had a great conversation going with him! :laugh:

Yeah. You would think they could offer free homework help! ;P

Wow, guess what, years since I last logged into CP ^^ (actually, a friend reported this post to me) So, yes, I left CP years ago, and I don't think I have time and motivation anymore... Maybe once CP converts to Oracle Siebel technologies :-D

No no no, I'm not back, I was just here to reply to this very post talking about me :cool: VisualCalc is a cool app, and I'm still using it from times to times. The problem is that I totally lost my C/C++ skills as I'm not working with this language at all at work, and there cooler calculators on the web IMO, so I lost the excitment.
