Whatever happened to Bill?

Yes he's an interesting chap

If I recall correctly (and bear with me, as my memory is techy) he mentioned awhile back that he wasn't going to spend as much time here due to health issues? So I imagine any news wouldn't be good where his absence is concerned. :(

Think that means (German very RUSTY) "Let us enjoy life...something" ???

It's supposed to be Latin: Let us rejoice while we live.

He has indicated several times in his posts that his health is not good. In addition, his age group is probably not the youngest. Either way, let's hope he just takes a little break and that he will return :rose:

Daniel is right. Just for context, Gaudeamus igitur[^] is some kind of student anthem that we sang at uni reunions. 10, 20 30, 40 years... oh my gosh! we are still alive :D

'Gaudeamus' used to be sung by all at the conclusion of graduation ceremonies back in the day (downunder at least).

Indeed. I forgot about the grad ceremony... too far back in the mist of time :)

Well, i had my time off as well but wasn't Dave willing to become the PM of Britain and therefore left? :suss:

Perhaps CodeProject should be renamed The Lost Boys. :)

I have been in the Lounge just long enough to recognize various posters and to be excited when one of these members replies to one of my programming questions Call me pie in the sky simplistic and way too sentimental But as members reach some number of years here. Why do you all not have a contact buddy that has at the least your email address? Kind of a Club with in a Club Reading these type of post is just not fun YES I get the issue of privacy I had the same concerns about JSOP but was too timid to ask Just a thought

While DD and Nagy simply had other pressing matters (politics and booze, methinks), Henry actually passed away. He's the reason I'm on CP. Decided to ask a question on here once, over ten years ago already, and Henry gave a good answer and even answered some follow up questions. After that I decided CP was worth joining. Unfortunately, after that I met some less pleasant individuals (who're all banned by now). All in all I've met more good people than bad though :D
