Are you new to CodeProject?
-
I was just thinking that many of the regulars at Code Project know each other pretty well, but I was wondering about those that have just discovered CodeProject. Are you sitting back, mouth agape, wondering what this is all about, or just watching the inmates in a bemused fashion while you find your way around? In any case, it would be cool if all those who have just signed on droped in to say hi and let us know who you are, where you live and what you do. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

To avoid immediate attention by the indigenous population, do not include your politicial, religious or sexual preferences until one of these topics once again raise their ugly heads.

know each other pretty well And who are you again, shhhhunny jim? just watching the inmates Damn straight pardner. Methinks though that more than a few of us inmates are more bemused than a Linux marketing manager. This reminds me of my first day of pre-school (kindergarten to all non South Africaners). Hi, my name is Watson, Paul Watson. I am here to cause the teacher hell and seduce all the babes. Oh and to get thrown out of Sunday school. I ended up king of the sand pit until I found out how to use a hose pipe, then I became king of the mud pit. :-D Lets hope I have grown up some :) Good idea by the way. I am not always sure some of the newer guys are serious or pulling our legs and maybe their place of origin will help sort that out (i.e. if (origin = "southern hemisphere") then varResult = "joking") regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

Hi, I'm Ravi Bhavnani and live and work in Massachusetts. I've been at CodeProject since its early days and hope to return to contributing articles and helping out (really, Chris!), now that I've left the insane world of startups. I develop software that simulates and verifies the behavior of chips. The work is fascinating and forces me to dredge thru my 20 year old EE books! In my spare time, I run my own software company and pretty much live the life of a geek. My detailed specs (as if anyone cares) can be found at http://www.ravib.com. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

My name is Brigg Thorp, and I am a software engineer for Timex Corporation (yes...the watch company). I've been here for just over 5 years and work in C++, VB, and Macromedia Director. I actually live pretty close to Ravi (I'm in Connecticut). I've been looking at articles here since the sites inception, but only really started posting messages (to th Lounge) in the last few months or so. Brigg Thorp Software Engineer Timex Corporation

Good idea by the way. I am not always sure some of the newer guys are serious or pulling our legs and maybe their place of origin will help sort that out (i.e. if (origin = "southern hemisphere") then varResult = "joking") Hmmmm, varResult will always be "joking"... ;P Sorry Paul, I just had to say this. You know, in C++ you should use == instaed of = in an if (), but that again, you'r a VB guy, right? Didn't you miss the "end if". ;) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Well at first I thought "maybe I should write the Ff statement in C++ just for all the simple undeducated folk out there who don't understand the beauty of VB", but then I thought "naaaah, let them suffer and wonder". :-D Actually I happen to do way too much JavaScripting so I know all about the phuketing annoying difference between == and =. The number of times I get caught out by that is beyond belief. Do you have any idea why they implemented C++ and Java like that? Why not just = and not ==? Didn't you miss the "end if". Once again VB shows it's beauty. You don't need an End If if it is one one line. i.e.
If (origin = "southern hemisphere") Then varResult = "joking"
is the same as
If (origin = "southern hemisphere") Then
varResult = "joking"
End IfVB is so beautiful and way smarter than "donkey's work" C++. :-D Yeah, I know I set myself up everytime I mention VB or put up VB code, but hey us enlightened folk can take the jeers and jokes as we sit back and let VB do our work for us. ;P regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

Hello World... Well, Hello Code Project might be more appropriate ;) The timing of this message couldn't be better. I just discovered Code Project by hitting on it using a search engine trying to find something completely different ;). I already posted two small replies and decided that instead of going around anonymous (it has its advantages though), I'd sign on and put my name where my text is. Browsing through some of the articles already gave me some nice insights into topics of my personal interest. Maybe one glorious day I will post one of my own. The topics of interest for me are: 3D programming, C++, C, MFC, COM, Win32 Shell programming, GUI design and probably some other topics I dont think of right now. A short biography: I am currently employed by Philips as an IT engineer. I received my MSc. in Electrotechnical and IT engineering at the Technical University of Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Well, that about sums it up I think... Hopefully we will cross paths soon ! Arno van Loenen

I only discovered CP recently and wished I had done so longer ago. It helped me out the other day with a problem I had and I noticed other resources that I would more than likely need to read at a future time. I am a developer and come from england, Keep up the good work, Nick Lewis.

Hello, I've been surfing Code Project for the past two months, since I started my work term for school. I was searching for info, when my boss suggested your site. I got curious and posted a message for help. Then I started reading the posts in the Lounge, and felt like adding my own two cents.... I'm a student at Concordia University, in Montreal, Canada. I am presently studying MIS. Keep it up! Melissa

when my boss suggested your site Wooohooo! Well, finally some vindication. You see! All you boss hating, project managment bashing developers. We can be of use sometimes.

> Then I started reading the posts in the Lounge So, knowing what you did about us regulars, why did you stick around? :) Was it... A) Our endearing charm? B) Our obvious sensitivy and understanding of other people and their cultural differences? C) Our knowledge of programming? D) Our ability to accurately describe various body cavities? E) Our ability both slam and praise Microsoft and Linux in the same sentence? F) Your deep hidden desire to be able to talk dirty without anyone minding? G) Your agreement with Chris that use of the word gotten had gotten out of hand? :) "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

> use of the word gotten had gotten out of hand? Thanks John, for bringing this up. This has been one of my pet peeves for years.

Hey there - My name is Essam Ahmed - I used to work with CodeGuru site writing the weekly newsletter and book reviews. I work for a very large multi-national computer outsourcing services company where I develop systems monitoring and reporting solutions, internal administrative tools, and do some technical writing. I like to write as well as code – my published work includes an article for ASPToday.com, some book reviews and articles on theCodeChannel.com, and a bunch of older book reviews on CodeGuru.com. I just finished writing my first book, JScript .NET Programming (see the link in my sig for more details), magazine article (to be published early 2002 in a new magazine), and in-print book review (not yet published). I have been lurking at the CodeProject since it started and congratulate Chris on his success in building a unique on-line community. I used to visit the site about one a week and now visit almost daily to see what’s up in the Lounge. I joined the United Devices research project’s CodeProject.com team on September 18 and have managed to surpass Chris’ points :-D ! (If you don’t know what I’m referring to, visit http://members.ud.com/projects/ for an overview and http://members.ud.com/services/teams/team.htm?id=9F9DA7E6-980C-4E43-81BB-C645BF62C32C for information on the CodeProject.com team).

555486 is the actual count from the lounge. ;) Well, I just closed my eyes, and hit the numeric part of my keyboard. ;) I have to say that in my last job I was actually manager of R&D... I just didn't like all the meetings and that kinda stuff, so now I'm a developer again. :-D - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
