Long time no see..... What's everyone been doing?
|
|

I’ve been lurking, mostly. Most of my dev work now is for my Minecraft mods or the OpenComputers mod in-game computers.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The public ones integrate other mods together.
Here’s those[^]
I also have ports of a few others on my Github[^]. I also contribute to some others.

Interesting, I don't get an email notification?
There's money in Minecraft mods?

Curse Points can be converted into Amazon gift cards, though I mostly mod for fun.

Thanks. I've found the job market mostly wants people who have some sort of online presence and I thought, you know what, I could add to my articles on Code Project.

Mate! Good to see you again.
While you were away the interwebz achieved a level of unprecedented enlightenment and cultural acceptance. Frank and open minded discussions dominated the forums with an earnest desire on both sides to listen to what the other was saying and to understand things from their point of view.
Programming questions dwindled down to a few well thought out and well written nuggets because reading the docs and searching through the vast quantities of published help became the in thing. Answers, by and large, are now succinct, accurate and lacking in both snark and condescension. Obviously the entire rating system is now abandoned because there's really no point if everything is a flat "5/5".
Javascript has finally been abandoned (and who didn't see THAT coming!) and the one true language is back at the top of the heap. We did think of renaming the site to The FORTRAN Project but we had too many CodeProject mugs lying about and didn't want to be wasteful.
Oh, and JSOP's posted a long, heartfelt piece on why peace through arms is an entirely backwards way to look at things and had a metal worker friend turn his pieces into delicate hanging mobiles that, in his words, represent "the inhumanity of man's search for themselves through steel". It's quite an emotionally charged sculpture. Oh, and he brought a Prius.
OK, so maybe some of that is a bit exagerated but you get the gist.
cheers

Nice to see you too 
Wish I was taking what you're taking. In my absence, I've had to take restraining orders against people threatening to kill my kids, I've lost Facebook profiles to mass reporting and lost track of all my old school friends, and I've disconnected our home phone to stop the threats. Reason - I got involved in supporting refugees. I recently read a story on internet bullying and most of the things the book talked about in a round about way, I immediately recognised who it was talking about.
Oh, and I try to spend as much time as possible coding in Javascript or Typescript

Actually Dave filled me in on your travails. When you do something you never do it halfway and for that we respect you. A lot.
Hang in there mate. We're still here doing what we always do and you're always welcome.

Well, thanks, I appreciate that. Work has been a bit quiet and I realised I would love to be involved here again, and maybe write a few new articles (posted one today already!!!)

Hi!
It appears we both had a "I've not looked at CP in years" moment.
It's almost two years now since we packed up the house into a shipping container and moved to The Netherlands and it's been a big adventure. I'm guessing you're still lying low on facebook after the drama?

Playing around with rPI's, learning more about Linux (and liking it, go figure), 5 months into the new job[^] and loving it (whereas the old job I was hating), winning at poker (Texas Holdem), losing at poker, and wasting time watching Merlin[^]
