To all new members
-
We've had a bunch of new members sign up in the last month and I was thinking it would be cool if all the new members lurking in the shadows wondering if they should say something would step up on the soapbox and introduce themselves to everyone. It's always nice seeing fresh faces in the lounge so don't be shy! cheers, Chris Maunder
Like another member posted, I'm a lurker more than a newbie, but I'll take this opportunity to blab. I've always been a fan of science fiction, and when I found out my high school had a computer terminal, I went to the teacher in charge of it and asked how I could learn to use a computer. She didn't know me from Adam, but she gave me a book on BASIC for the HP 3000 (excellent book) and the next day I was there after school programming on a 110 cps ASR33 teletype. It was 1974. Since then I've programmed Z80's in assembly language, CP/M systems, Apples, industrial automation using embedded processors, Windows systems, systems I designed and breadboarded myself, you name it. Now I program mainly in C and C++ in Windows or Palm OS. Between designing computers, servicing computers and programming them, I've been working steadily ever since high school. Never had a problem getting a new job. Until now. Since getting laid off after Sept. 11, I haven't been able to find anything here in Marin County or nearby. Now I know how women feel wanting a date and the phone never rings. I've been writing code, playing with plug-in architecture and AI and whatnot, but it's hard to concentrate on that when you've got a family and a mortgage to feed and no income. <insert violins here> At any rate, you can read more about my interests on my web site for those of you haven't already fallen asleep. Love the Code Project and forums. I visit every day to see what's new and what the frequenti are clowning about. Keep up the good work.

LOL That'll come to more than USD 20K which comes to 960K Indian rupees. Just 40 K less than One Million. Means CP now owns me as I owe them just under one million rupees. Finally, I am a true CPian. Chris M when do I get added to the CP inventory list? And will I feature in the "about us" page, just under the servers list?

Looks like AOL nuked my directory somehow. None of my files are there, and there are Unix-type directories there now: /dev, /bin, /usr etc. Very odd. Tech support was someone on a choppy phone connection with an India accent who told me to try again tomorrow. AOL is evil! :) If it's still gone tomorrow, I guess I'll have to re-upload everything. (Backups rule!) I'll post when I have a presence again. Gee... I feel so insubstantial now. Dave Goodman dgoodman@infoway.com www.dkgoodman.com "Actio sequitur esse."
