I once wrote an application with Photoshop - it never run and it never modified... Big Grin | :-D

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Code that never needs modified means it is never used. Smile | :)

Congrats though. It is a good feeling to have software you created keep on going without issues.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I learnt early on to be proud of what you do and create but not take it personally when a) it never gets used or b) it gets retired.

We are paid to create and deliver and, most of us, I'm sure, do our very best to deliver great software.

After that, I don't care what they do with it. Smile | :)

I'm not unhappy at all about it getting retired. I'm excited about it!

Back in the late 90's I wrote some parts of a banking system that remained untouched until the system was retired after some 10 years. It feels good to know you did it right first time.

Today I am in v.376 of trying to work out WTF I am doing.

That may be the best part of it getting retired now. I get to say I did it right Wink | ;)

I'm in version 45.1 of that. On a related note, I've also adopted the chrome and firefox nonsense version numbering system, works like a charm.

whop... I just rolled my version to 46.0, you almost missed it. Poke tongue | ;-P

Yeah, It was. That project is really what transitioned me to developer in this company. I was hired as a programmer, but not really taken seriously as one until after this.

I dislike data processing Dead | X|

Tis a reference to Twatter. My OP was a play on the 'Storm!' below, but no one wanted to play. Now I am sad. Sigh | :sigh:

Just saw Andrea's name on a list that comes my way: Wife, Sister, Sister-in-Law?

Nagy Vilmos3-Apr-14 5:32

She are my wife. I guess you're involved with the Street Angels then.

I was one of the founder members but am giving up after this month's duty. I find being on my feet that long is a bit over tiring at my age, although I may do the odd duty to fill emergency gaps. I hope she enjoys the experience as much as I have. Maybe meet at the dinner dance in June?

She's looking forward to it. AFAIK she'll start next month after we return from Hungary.

This is going to confuse anyone else reading this...

"Street Angels are volunteers who believe that people deserve care and love in their time of need. Those needs could be as a result of homelessness, intoxication, ..."

She doesn't need to leave home then, does she? Laugh | :laugh:

You should not need luck in brewing coffee. Given the right beans and equipment, it should be quite predictable. Suspicious | :suss:
