... I passed the 2,000,000 rep points mark!
Good grief - I still have no idea how they accumulate so quickly, it's been less than five years since I passed 1,000,000, and I've "only" been here 9 years this April. It's a pity I "missed" by a week, that would have been a nice little present, but ho hum.
And probably around the same time the sky signal vanished - probably the dish has been moved by the high winds - so Herself is not a happy bunny. Who designs a system that needs a satellite signal in order to play material it has already recorded? That's a bit ... well ... QAish, really.
But I'd like to say "Thanks" to everyone who over the years has voted me up (and a bigger thanks to those who voted me down). I couldn't have reached this without the help of every one of you!

I assume you'll be signing up for this[^] then?

A company who wants to squeeze every last penny out of its willing victims? After all, if they didn't do that, you might be able to play back a recording of a free-to-air program without paying them for the privilege. 
PS: Congratulations on not overflowing the rep-point counter yet.

That's a elephanting joke, that is - you try getting SkyGo to work to Chromecast or Fire TV Stick (and I have both). They deliberately prevent you watching Sky programs that way, even though you have to sign in with a valid Sky account.
Pathetic.

P.S. - I haven't overflowed the Notifications counter yet, but I'm trying: 62741 at the moment!

I can help you out, there.
Approximately 1,500,000 of the points were accumulated in Q&A via: "Do your homework" in various forms. The rest were my up-votes.
I'll let you where the thank-you! ($) should be wired.

Much to my surprise, it's pretty evenly split between "Authority" and "Debator", with a good chunk of "Organiser" thrown in for seasoning.

Don't bother with truthiness. I've got that covered![^] right here!
I didn't even bring up how many sheep-friends you have registered for the up-votes. Not mentioned at all.
Let me handle things - everything will be fine.
(to the rest of you readers: move along. Nothing to see here)

Could it be because you're are an insatiable rep point whore?

|

Yep, I think you got it there.
Damn, thought I'd hidden that...

Good grief good Griff!

I think you get most of your points from posting non-answers and I'm of the opinion that they should all be deleted.

|
|
|

That's why I will be up all the night now, not to miss my 50k.
Of course you can shorten it by vote up any of my stuff

You, Sir, have gone beyond mere quantification into quantumification !
And, have done it with grace, wit, and style.
I remain one of millions who ... appreciate you.
Congratulations !

Is an obstructive programmer a congrammer?
... such stuff as dreams are made on
|
|
|
|
|
or an anitgrammer?
And what happens when a programmer and an antigrammer come into contact...?
|
|

|

... I'm not sure that an answer could be "pure Energie" ...

Tuomas Holopainen - A Lifetime of Adventure[^]
"Holy crap!?" I hear you thinking!
"What's this? After all these months a new episode of the SOTW? "
Well yes indeed! Now that I spend some time working for myself I have some more time to listen to music again (and post about it)
Also, I read that some people missed the SOTW, so here it is again!
To start of with this new season of SOTW we have Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish fame.
I stumbled upon this song when I checked out some music from his new project, Auri.
Apparently, Tuomas has a solo album based on the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.
All I can say is Scrooge has a good taste in music
