Nice! There's something special about having the opportunity to be an early employee at a successful company. To say it's a learning experience is an understatement. /ravi

Hi All, Stuff got in the way yesterday (work related) so I couldn't finish the message I was posting about Bob's birthday, I found him and the site via a Google search for an accurate millisecond timer in VB6, bit left field but the standard timer only went to 0.5 of a second, the unit I was working on spewed data at 0.25 which made it a little unreliable (this was serial port related!). :bob: had the answer all was good delivered the project everyone happy!
I'm too old to remember it, or too young )) Ether when studying in university or when got my first and the only job.

In July 2000 I was looking for some guidance on creating a grid control for MFC. Google pointed me at Chris's article (MFC Grid control 2.27[^]) and I soon abandoned the idea of writing my own. This first introduction to CodeProject was such a positive experience that I signed up and just kept coming back, more for the community than for the free code. I feel a little guilty that my contributions over the years have been meagre compared to what I have got out of it.

Sounds about right :)

An answer on a Stack Overflow article brought me here many moons ago.

Interestingly enough, I found them the "physical" way. I was looking for tech companies close to where I lived at the time (Eglington and Don Mills/DVP area in Toronto), and they came up. I think they have moved to downtown Toronto since then.

You know, I did not find CodeProject. In fact, CodeProject found me. A day, while I was on the way to Damascus... :-D

About 15 years ago, when @chris-maunder teamed up with us at "LiDNUG" on linked-in to do a presentation on how he built code-project using DOT NET. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened to the presentation, I thought it was on our YouTube page (youtube.com/@lidnug) but I can't seem to find it. We did loose a few of our presentations about 6 years ago, when someone managed to get control of our Google account temporarily, so we may have lost it then. I've also just spent 30 mins looking through the few Live Meeting recordings we had still saved on our server, and it's not among those, so I guess it's definitely lost :-(

And you still haven't peeled off all the half used toffees and crumbs.

I can't recall, but was surprised to look at my profile where it tells me I've been a member for 16 years! Where did it go...?
