Note to self, never ask a question here again.

Yup, just waiting for the results. It's been a blast coding this one - the app is a long way from finished. Now that the contest is over, there's so much that I need to do to it to make it a production grade application. It's heavily skewed towards the PerC side. This has led to a few opportunities with Intel, and I'm just looking at writing some stuff with them about their cloud services. They are being really great about giving me access to people and teams who wrote this stuff, so I have a lot of stuff to work with. The PerC SDK is not up to scratch right now, my last post detailed a lot about the areas where there are weaknesses. The really great thing is that Intel are listening to us, they have asked us to join their PerC advisory board to help shape the product, try out the enhancements and provided feedback. If there's an App Innovation 2, then I'll probably be entering it - I also have some other PerC stuff I want to work on, this time purely for Code Project.

Yup. I definitely fit the bill there.

Have you done your Intel AppInnovation interview yet? Looking forward to seeing it.

I had the interview about 10 days ago, still waiting to see the final content, not sure when it is being published. The interview was conducted by William Van Winkle[^] I didn't know what really to expect, or what sort of information they were looking for so don't know if it went okay or not!

I do tire of his little "my way is better - please read it" notes...and the way that QA goes grey once he starts responding for the day.

They are the reason I originally stopped answering in QA. It got to the point where I really blew up at him and his spamming the answers. Funnily enough, he didn't respond to that comment. The thing is - people don't want to be told, "oh, you shouldn't be doing it that way because your requirements are stupid". They probably already know that they are stupid, but if that's what they have to deliver then that's what they have to deliver (when I put this argument to him, he told me that he'd either do it his way anyway or drop the client for coming up with stupid requirements). Argh. I'm bitching about him behind his back and that's wrong. I haven't said anything here that I haven't told him straight, but I don't want to pick on him sneakily.

It's cool - you're not saying anything you haven't said to him directly. It's just nice to know I'm not the only one who gets a little fed up with his attitude. It's a pity, because he does know a lot, and he could be a real asset if he notched the attitude down a few levels. Gripe OTD is over! :laugh: Now, where are those damn tree surgeons? They were supposed to be here half an hour ago...

CP used to be a good place for asking questions years ago... Now it is good for jokes and news - also good for stress relief, you can beat the pulp out of new users any time you want.... IMHO Regards Amar

Think that is bad, I try to ask only well researched difficult questions and never get replies or when I do it is people trying to give me answers to wrong questions. If you are capable of using Google; asking questions here is a waste of time. All the easy questions are already answered on the Internet and all the hard ones get mobbed by look importants.

The same reason as I rarely visit QA, or infact codeProject apart from as a lurker nowadays. The main forum for me was C# and, as you know, I was very active on there 'back in the day'. Since QA took off properly that forum is pretty much dead. Answering on QA (C# at least) is pointless as SA, I assume with good intentions, takes it over. So, my desire to help others as I was helped when I needed it is no longer required therefore my reason to visit (actively) CP is dramatically diminished. It's good that someone is keen to help, but when they take over to that level it is no longer healthy for the site IMO.

I am not worried about the points, it just ticked me off that someone would search out and attack other posts I had made. Are people truely that petty? (Don't answer that, it is a rhetorical question to which the answer, sadly, is YES)

We've been flat out with a bunch of other stuff so I apologise for not being more publicly involved, but Sean and I have been discussing this daily. There's an issue. I will put in place at least an interim solution this afternoon.

Emailed the contact at Intel yesterday, they have the first draft in review, they reckon I will get to see the final edit early May for approval with publication in Mid-May.
