Take over Code Universe
-
Hi, the previous threads about the Code Project Sister site have slipped away. I have a idea. It would be easier to have a sister site if Code Project take over Code Universe and names Code Universe it's sister site. The advantage of taking over Code Universe is that it has the same design as Code Project and it's related to Linux/PHP/Unix, etc. programming. Chris won't have to do that much work since the site looks the same as Code Project and it is already established so you won't have to write a Non-MS programming site from scratch. Even though i hate Code Universe because they stole Code Project's design, i have to admit, they do have some good content. Even if their content sucks, after acquring them things can be changed around. As far as system adminstration is considered, Non-MS fans here at Code Project can manage the site while Chris is busy managing Code Project. Just an idea.

I think it is a good deal because the site does provide some useful content and Chris doesn't have the time to write another site from scratch. Actually, with Code Universe, Chris would still have a lot of work; the whole site appears to be implemented as static HTML, so unless the site operator(s) are a real glutton for unneccessary work, they'd need to write a full set of backend/frontend scripts. Really, in the end, the only thing that'd be saved is the cost of the domain name. Anyway, that's enough of this discussion for now, I've got 3D intersection routines to write!
No, the site isn't static HTML. They use perl. Chris would still have a lot of work Hey, who said he has to do it all by himself. All us non-MS developers will help.

Ouch. Headache. CU rears its ugly head again. Whoever made CU did a great job of scouring the web for articles and linking to them from CU. But that's all it is - a collection of links. They have a lot of work to do to make CU ready for prime time. If and when they do that, they won't even need CP as a "sister site." The merit of an excellent site alone will carry them to success. However, from the looks of things, the owner is only interested in constructing a half-ass ripoff to try to make a quick buck. In other words, he (or maybe she) is calling a Cubic Zirconia a diamond and trying to sell it to certified gemologist. Bad idea. If you are so intent on seeing a "sister site," then why don't you take the bull by the horns and create one yourself? You said that you're afraid to work with CU, which implies that you *are* willing to work, so start your own. You have a fantastic idea, but all you ever do is talk about it. So create it! The most successful people in the world have great ideas AND they execute them. Web hosting is cheap; domains only cost $15 a year; and advertising can help offset the expenses. You seem to be proficient with Perl, so what's the problem? Jon Sagara Sagara Software

A few points here 1/ Take over ? We're going to storm the barricades with Uzis ? Or we're going to give this guy money for ripping off CP ? 2/ CU has no useful information, it's all links ( at least it was the two times I've looked as a result of discussions here ). If you want a links site, you don't need to buy it. Links are free. 3/ Ever heard of code reuse ? Why would Chris need to write a site from scratch when he has all the code already from CP ?

Chris, can you please comment ? I would love to hear your opinion(s).
What, on if he's a millionaire, or if he should fork out to buy a scabby site that no-one visits ? Hassan, you've painted yourself into a corner here, and continued insistence that CP should buy CU really looks a lot like you're in the employ of CU. 'Feel safe posting code there' ? Who is making you/why would you feel you need to ? Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.

As Chris said he doesn't have time to dedicate to another site. If he's not working on it what point is there to have it associated with the CodeProject site?

Chris can be a millionaire by providing content for the NON-MS world. I'm sure Chris is already a millionaire (remember all those trips to Redmond? It costs lots of money) and doesn't care a bit about such b*llshit like CodeUniverse. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com
I'm sure Chris is already a millionaire Bwahaha! <wipes tears of laughter from eyes> Nooooo - Chris is not even vaguely close to being a millionaire. If Chris were a millionaire (or even a hundred-thousand-aire) he'd not be living in Canberra ;) cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

No Hassan - I will not have anything to do with your Code Universe. With the infrastructure here at CodeProject it would take me about a week to have another fully functioning site up and running. Retro-fitting an existing 'site' like C.Universe would be a waste of time. The problem is not in building, but in growing, maintaining, and managing. And sure - I could get others to help out, but who then manages the managers? Who deals with business, legal, advertising, accounting? It's not gonna happen. End of discussion. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

Ok, fine Chris. Don't take over Code Universe or create anything from scratch. Thanks, for your opinion. I was just suggesting something, not forcing it. :|

Christian, Apparently people *can* leave a paper trail in cyberspace: Go to this message in the lounge and click on the head next to Sarah's name. Surprised at what you find? Ah, well. That doesn't really mean much. Jon Sagara Sagara Software

:eek: Wow, what is this ? A huge bug i guess. Nice one Jon. I guess you are the first one to find a huge bug with these forums. That is so :suss:

:D. I knew it all along... Know, if only someone could do the same experiment with Namjal K's account... Nah, three identities would be a bit much. :) David Wulff dwulff@battleaxesoftware.com

I tried. Najmul's was a separate account, BUT, both he and Hassan live in Toronto... Draw your own conclusions. ;) Jon Sagara Sagara Software

Are you telling me i am Najmul K or Sarah. Man, that is just so funny. :laugh: Come on guys, use your brain. It can't be right. That's like saying Christian Graus is also Lauren.

What makes you think i am Najmul Khawaja ? :mad: Just because we live in the same cities doesn't mean that we are the same people. There are probably other people in Toronto that read the Code Project. Are they also Najmul Khawaja ?

A couple of points: 1/ These sort of controversies always seem to surround 'Sarah'. 2/ 'Sarah' is not in the whos who. She has posted an article or two, although only the joke one remains. 3/ Between Sarah and yourself we have the only two people on the site with any positive feeling towards the content of Code Universe 4/ 'Sarah' last posted at 18:40 on 14 August. 'Hassan' started posting on 18:01 20 August. 5/ All posts by 'Sarah' are IDed as Hassan. These facts combined make with the fact that Sarah doesn't seem to post anymore, lead me to consider the possibility that 'Sarah' has changed his/her nick to 'Hassan' Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.
