The new staffer at CP would like to say......

Howdy Bianca...welcome to the real CodeProject...that office isn't real...this is real. It's kind of a Matrix-like thing. Don't think too hard about it. ;) First of all, you need to develop the habit of capitalizing "techie words" properly. If you ever say .net or .Net, Paul Watson and I will berate you with "It's spelled .NET! Microsoft capitalizes it! So should you!" The same goes for XBOX...it's XBOX, not XBox (Chris' spelling) or Xbox (Your spelling) :) Second, I recommend finger exercises for optimum digit dexterity and consequently, god-like gamer status. If you really wanna beat the guys up there and show 'em how great you are at Halo, then you need to both a) practice by yourself...set the game on legendary and go through the campaign by yourself, and b) type a lot more than Chris, you can achieve this by setting your homepage to the Lounge and go on posting-frenzies often, totally ignoring work while you do this. ;) Third, you may wanna search the Lounge a ways back...there was a discussion about you when Chris announced you first came on board that may shed some light on the type of people we are here. :rolleyes: Again, welcome to the Real CodeProject. :) [edit] :doh: I knew there was something I was forgetting...I think there's something fishy going on with your profile. How come you get such an early user id? :suss: Did Chris move somebody else to make room for you? I can see why he would though. :-D:-O [/edit]

....to welcome you to the Lounge! It's good to finally see a voice(?) to go with the the name. :-D Don't be too intimidated by the Loungers, most of us are a friendly bunch, except for those flame-throwing, flesh-eating, dung-spitting saffas(Don't ask) As for the Icon, Bob in a straighjacket would be kinda cool. C'mon Chris, whaddya say?

....a big hello to everyone. As the new marketing hand at Code Project I figured it was time to stop being a voyeur and jump wholeheartedly into the lounge. This is only happening because I'm finally feeling settled in at the CP office. For the curious, here's a sampling of things I've had to try and get accustomed to over the past couple weeks: 1. Hearing a football being kicked inside the office, and not knowing whether to keep typing or place mug of coffee in a secure place 2. Feeling a compulsion, bordering on unease, when 12 hours pass without some quality time with the Xbox 3. Listening to Chris wax poetic over VB 4. Knowing what the clickety police are 5. Wondering if, for a non-programmer, understanding the concept of clickety-police is a little freaky 6. Deciding it is, but getting over it 7. Hearing way, way, WAY too much about Australia 8. Wondering if Dave's ability to whistle happily in the morning is a ruse, one intended to mask a deep dark hatred of the early hours 9. Deciding it isn't (weird stuff nonetheless) 10. Being rather confounded when presented with the question from a youngster "Why doesn't Bob have a mouth?" 11. Deciding Bob has probably seen far too much, and is lucky to be left in a non-communicative position 12. AND FINALLY The one I hope everyone here can help me out with.... Asking Chris patiently, quietly, and daily, to create an icon for me (and other CP staffers) to use in the lounge. My suggestion of a straitjacket hasn't gone down too well at all. Does anybody have any ideas as to what my icon should be? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. :) Sans sig for now...... Bianca Wylie CodeProject.com
:sigh: They have already said what i intend to say to you, so... Welcome!:-D Weiye, Chen When pursuing your dreams, don't forget to enjoy your life...

Yeah, I want to see if it is any good. I'm working on a client server type App, and I can't decide if .NET is the way to go, so I think I'll test it for a bit. Regardz Colin J Davies

Welcome Bianca. I am glad Chris has finally got some good help. Hope you have many good years with the CP team. As for an icon... maybe Bob with a wi_z_zards hat, though the straight jacket sounds more relevant. Oh, and anything you hear from an Aussie about us South Africans is patently untrue.

Well since us Saffas are such vastly superior beings to our antipodean cousins we are often bad-mouthed by them. So I just like to set the score straight. One must forgive the Aussies, it is all they know how to do. *sends off another Help Save Australia cheque* :rolleyes: Just kidding. Actually there is fierce rivarly between Kiwis, Aussies and Saffas. We are all pretty much underdogs and hate the fact that we are all so similar, so any opportunity we get we use for a dig at them. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.
