Hi All,
In a Skype interview yesterday I was asked the question are you GlennPattonInThePubAgain on code project to which my reply was 'Oh dear, umm yes' he then went into the article I wrote (good!) they know CP nom' de guer (not so good!), the real issue was I couldn't get my Skype to send a video image while I could see their image. Just wondering is this related to them using Skype for business and me using Skype for chav's on my Android....

Was it a blue moon? I have yet to have an interviewer demonstrate that they bothered to even do the minimal "in the cloud" research on me, leading me to the conclusion that all that hype about having an online profile because potential employers will do their research is just that, hype. And all but one has ever indicated that they even looked at my articles, even though at the top of my resume is a link to my CP profile as well as mention of several article awards. The rest, when explicitly asked, simply say "no", or worse, "no, what's Code Project?" Bubbles within bubbles. Don't these people ever get out into the "real world?"

I'm not sure, it was cloudy yesterday night! The most worrying thing is my name suffix, I might be put down as an 'over drinker' which I am not (most of the time), this guy seemed to be more of a technical guy than Human (lack of) Resources

If you are done blabbering about your real World contributions, define encapsulation and abstraction. Next you will need to recite a paragraph from that design pattern website.

For what it's worth I've had lots of people mention their CodeProject article resume as a big selling point in their interviews. It does happen!
I think you need to admit that you're simply so famous at this point that it's pointless looking up your online profile. It's actually probably time you dropped your last name and just used a single name like Bono or Cher.
Don't fight it, man.
cheers

He could add some sort of prefix so he could be something like "The Marc."

Definitely, I don't dispute that. But whether they've actually looked at the what the articles cover, is quite a different matter.

Marc - I've gone through a couple of your articles and chased a few links. Frankly, you're going to scare people. It takes a rare breed to say, "Sh*t, this guy is like spooky, I could learn something from him." Instead, you get "Oh hell no, he knows more than me."
Have seen so often my nose bleeds, and I have to fight the fear urge.

"nom de guerre" by the way.
I try very hard to hide my disfuncitonal online persona from real people. 
|

Dang!, I spelt it that way didn't look right. Anyway on thinking about it should it not be "nom de Code" 
|
|
|
|
|
The Frogs dont pronounce the last part of a word, so the way you spelt it it would sound 'geh'. To have any chance of hearing the 'r' it would need an 'e' after it, and because its a long 'r' it is two of them.
Anyway, perhaps "nom de 'I can get away with saying anythibg because it is the net'"

In this case "surnom" or even better "pseudo" (for pseudonym).
"Nom de code" is rarely used for a living being.
I have never heard of "Nom de guerre", we call it "indicatif" =code name.

Nom de guerre, comes from many English things about the French code names in use from Napolenic to WW2 and the early days of the Vietnam confilict. Is 'indicatif' a common word as I have never come across it before (mind you my German is poor & French worse!  )
|
|

|

It is common in military, especially aviation. it is the translation of 'code name' or 'call sign'.
|
|
|
|
|
 Had never seen it before!
|
|
|
|
|
BTW - it's dysfunctional

Who cares, it is English... 
--edit--
Or perhaps not. Dis is the Latin form of the Greek Dys, apparently, and Funciotn is a Latin word, so...

Yes, we don't want members of the public seeing us sitting around the office in our pants, drinking beer.

Must be hot where you are.

They are stalking you! 
Regarding the Skype you should be able to see them and they should be able to see you no matter what skype version...
