Where does the time go? I've been here a while now - nowhere near you of course - but it seems like yesterday when I found the site, even though it's changed considerably since then. Anything you miss from those days (other than the soapbox, of course)?

Friends; a few have drifted away and a couple have passed. Other than that the place is pretty much the same old; pleasurable, aggravating place! And as to the soapbox, yes and no!

:thumbsup: I kept winding up here via Google searches and signed up for the daily sarcasm newsletter. It was probably another couple of years before I started wasting time hanging out in the Lounge. I've been a solo developer for the last 15 years or so since I started working from home so it's nice to have this community full of some really smart people/interesting characters. The kind that will actually understand my current frustration of odata trial by fire. "Here's the address and your authorization key...have fun!" I'm getting there, no thanks to the simplified examples I keep finding...aggregates involving multiple objects seem to be a rarity...maybe I'm doing it wrong? :confused: Oh well, there's no penalty for wrong guesses! :laugh:

Seems about right. But 20 years ago, it wasn't lame ass!

A good 11 years for me already :omg: I've been doing this for 12 years and signed up on CP after about half a year :D I remember reading an article by HenryMinute, who unfortunately passed away. After reading it I signed up to ask him a question about it and he answered pretty quickly and was helpful. My first message on CP and absolutely noob question is right here under this article: Designing Nested Controls[^] :D

Over 16 years for me... CP is the oldest Website in my life and I think of it like a marriage (until death separate us).

Hell yeah!! 100% agree
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I've been a "lurker" for many years. Can count on one hand the number of times I've responded/contributed. However, I REALLY appreciate being able to see these posting daily, especially since I've been WFH for the last 3+ years (pre-covid). I am definitely a "grey beard" started developing with paper tape - almost miss those days, NOT.

I started with puNch cards but it was really expensive for me because I had 2 kids that I had to entertain when I went to computer room and they used a lot of them. :)

Oh yes, punch cards. They made the best and worst confetti (they are really hard to vacuum up again....)

I worked as a computer operator while attending college and we had a woman COBOL programmer bring in a box of cards to be run and one of the other operators dropped the box. We apologized profusely and gave them back to her to reorganize, she was upset but understanding. When she gave them back I dropped them and then she was pissed. I offered to help but she refused. I felt like crap!
