I getted [*] engaged on saturday, and made MVP today... what's coming for wednesday I ask? Maybe I should actually buy a lottery ticket...

I trust the newsletter article is a paeon of praise to our wondrous virtues? And our excellent modesty?

Iain.

[*] past tense of gotten.

Or a 'thank you' for the sums we paid... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

How long one can be MVP?

And how it is decided?

Write alot of high quality (measured by votes) articles and posts on the programming forums. The list of people with the best vote counts is then examined for anyone obviously trying to game the system so that they can be purged.

Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

As Chris said earlier in the thread...

"MVP status is calculated from programming forum participation and articles combined. (The lounge isn't included in the calculations)"

"The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I have no idea what anyone is talking about. What is it? It's complete gibberish. It's insane. When is this idiocy going to stop?" -- Oracle CEO Larry Ellison

Dern it. I wrote my first CP article this year and stepped up posts in the LINQ and C# forums, but alas, no CP MVP. Sigh | :sigh:

I got some ideas for my first article. Just waiting for things to settle down a bit.

How about an article on attaching a wii remote to a skateboard and analyzing the flicks..? Poke tongue | ;-P

A dogged, arrogant belief in self and the childlike idealism that comes with not knowing my limits. This is my greatest blessing, my priceless attribute.

How about an article about a syntax highlighting editor (e.g html, xml) for the web?

I doubt it would be the first article... I havent finished the control yet Smile | :)

Not myself. Smile | :)

Why? Should I post something? :-s
I was just looking at the Latest Articles[^] page and it says there are no new articles since December 31st.

Ok, but I also said "Make it a good one!" Wink | ;)

Anyway, I still get nothing since December.

Y2K bug? Smile | :)

) Probably "Last month" means December 2009 or -1 if January is month 0. If I select "since Last year" for the filter, it shows me some new articles.

I think it's a sk8tr_boy287 bug. I see several new articles posted since yesterday alone.

Try "Last month". Anyway, I'm assuming that new articles are those that have the N with yellow background flag, so maybe I'm wrong. The others would have just been Updated or Moved.
