Today, I visited my profile page and discovered we have a My Contacts section. Is this new or am I blind.

Hmm... I don't see it in the drop-down menu or the My Settings page.

Go to your profile and look at the left hand menu.

Thanks, I see it now. The ability to edit my existing (primary) contact info seems broken. The UI won't let me check the "Edit this address" box and attempting to save a change caused an "unknown failure" error.

You can re-enter your profile page,maybe there is something wrong with it.

This is my last full day/night on the platform.
And we are not talking until the next trip, we are probably talking forever! (although, just never know for sure)
I am both happy/sad/a little unsure/apprehensive/etc. as after having worked in this field and all of the 5 platforms over the last 21 years, it is time to move on. I think I have become institutionalised and afraid to let go.
I am staying with the company, but in January move up to one of our other assets we aquired in 2012.
My replacement has been here with me since Tuesday and today it is all his, and I am in the process of packing bags/empty lockers/ saying my goodbyes etc.
All going well, my helicopter will be here tomorrow morning at 08:15
I definitely have the - is this the right decision feeling!
      <--- All at once!

Wow. Good luck with that my friend. Haven't you hit the midlife crisis a bit soon though?
|
|
|
|
|
Cheers,
The crisis wont hit until I get to my new platform and want to go back to the old one!
|
|
|
|
|
Big change!
Not surprised you have such mixed emotions, but I hope it all works out for you (and the replacement mucks the job right up so they all beg you to come back!) 
Good luck! Will you be onshore permanently now? With all its attendant hassles such as daily commuting, five day week, and so forth?

Haha, I asked for a transfer and felt I needed a new field to play with before I started to get stale and settle in and become lazy, unchallenged etc.
I don't think my replacement will have any issues. He has been in the industry longer than me!
No, remaining offshore, just taking over another platform. The only downsides is the commute, the field I'm moving to is further North. 210 miles North East of aberdeen, instead of current location 110miles NE.

|

So about an extra hour commute each way every couple of weeks depending on the wind direction? Or are they giving you a jetpack?

Yeh, about that on a good day.

"home is the sailor, home from the sea" [1]
Congratulations, Dave, on the ending-which-is-a-beginning.
[1] R. L. Stevenson, "Requiem." Often mis-quoted as "home is the hunter ..." Even mis-quoted on his grave in Samoa.
“I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : 'I know all about it. I've already found it.'
As far as I'm concerned, the word means: 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.'”

Good luck!!!
For the confused feelings try this: "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" - (Edith Piaf)...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Change is always tuff especially after that many years. I'm confident you'll be as good at your new position as the old.
Break a leg...er Good luck?

Good luck!
We will miss you.

Good luck, Dave! I'm sure the next gig will be as rewarding as this one. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

So you should be on dry(ish) land by now!

Thanks....
Yes, got back just after 10. It was cold, but fine when I arrived, then it just went mental about 3 hours later.

Am I wrong thinking that C is a better language for one to learn as Java or Delphi?
I have a friend who always says C and C++ are hard to learn, outdated and impractical. I can understand that he thinks Java is better as it was his first language, but I seriously can not understand why he thinks Delphi is better than C. After Basic it's one of the worst languages that I've seen so far.
I was alyways convinced that you need to know how a computer works at low-level to be able to write decent code... Altough I've never never written a single program in ASM I feel like I would've never understood coding without it and seeing what my friend texts me sometimes I might be right. Only a few days ago he stated that he wouldn't need to learn pointers because Java "doesn't use them" and "var parameters in Delphi aren't pointers". And at the same time he asked how to send an array of pixels with WinSock because the appropriate delphi-function only accepts strings.
But then there are things that really annoy me about C like null-terminated strings. They are so damn slow!

This thread again?
Here's how this thread goes: some agree, some disagree, everyone mentions their pet language causing this thread to recurse.
Your friend is an idiot, as is anyone who says "I don't need to learn [some fundamental concept]".
