    Hey guys and girls, I was wondering if anyone out there has the desire, the time, and the writing skills and has an appropriate finger on the pulse of the IT world to try out for the position of Code Project Roving Reporter. There just ain't enough hours in the day so I don't always get a chance to post interesting news. Basically I'm looking for someone who keeps up to date with the latest goings-on and who would be interested in taking over the news article write-ups on the main page. Payment is your choice of CodeProject merchandise from our store, plus all the fame and glory that naturally comes with such a position ;). cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

    How do we audition ? ( Maybe I can get a CP t-shirt after all....) Christian Secrets of a happy marriage #27: Never go to bed if you are mad at each other. It's more fun to stay up and fight.

      Just send in news stories that are relevant to the Code Project readers. The format should be: Headline Source (Name and URL if possible) Descriptor line Abstract (1 paragraph for front page) Article I'll post the best stories, and the person with the best stories gets the loot. Remember that anyone can send in news articles whenever they like - I'm just looking for someone who is keen on seeing their name on the front page, who likes keeping up with the news, and who enjoys writing. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

        I don't think Cristian is qualified. He's nothing but a tree-hugging free-love liberal with a name that implies an overtone of religious allegiances which quite frankly would taint his ability to report in an un-biased manner. Besides all that, I think he's a Canadian. I think you should just give him a hat or a coffee mug and thank him for his interest. :) (Humor Hint (tm): I was merely making offhand and satirical references to recent threads in the lounge. This was not meant as a slur on Cristian's credentials, his religious orientation, his political agenda, or the sad possibility of his national origin.)

          John if only you had insider Australian knowledge you could have slandered him with a host of Tasmanian jokes. I will not help a Yankee and a Texan at that rubbish a fellow Australian even if he is a Tasmanian. I still can't forgive you for Walker Texas Ranger, it seems to bob up on my television everytime I am working the midnight shift. As I know you get the jokes I won't post a disclaimer here, for all the other morons who don't understand 'taking the piss' I suggest a long sleep in their car with a hose running from the exhaust to the cabin.

            The weird thing is that I don't know a single American who has ever watched "Walker Texas Ranger". Since my redneck credentials are impeccable, I know that crowd doesn't watch. So who the heck is watching it? For that matter,who ever told Chuck Norris he could act?

              Most of the people I know who actually watch and like it are younger (i.e. kids). (Maybe it's got something in common with the Power Rangers? ;)) John

                I'm not responsible for "Walker Texas Ranger", and neither is Texas. :-) I've *never* watched a single episode. Most earth worms are better actors than Chuck Norris.

                    Michael, surely Walker, while a travesty, is in fine company ? Who's The Boss Growing Pains Family Ties Full House You get the drift. Personally I don't think anyone in the US watches them, they send them to us in order to help us raise braindead children and increase their competitive advantage on the world stage. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.

                          Humor Hints (tm) are free of charge. :) For the record, I didn't want to trivialize Chris's request for article authors. It sounds like a good idea, and I'd look forward to reading anything written by Christian (or any of the rest of this mob for that matter).
