    Its been a while !

    About 5 years to be exact, since I last used these forums.
    Peet ... the avatar you made for me is still going strong

    I recognise a few names of people who helped/put up with my requests back in the day.

    I don't do coding any more (probably just as well!), but wanted to come back to see if its still going as strongly as it once was. I'm not disappointed

    Hello to any of you that may remember me

    Sorry, I don't remember you.

    Yeah, I remember you, though you predate me.

    Some would say that it is not going quite as strong as it was. People are a bit more staid and moderate than some of the wackier stuff in the past. I'm not sure that I agree with that. All you have to read is the AI thread, and it is right up there with some of the crazier threads of past years.

    Hello, my orangey friend! It's been an awfully long time.

    What are you doing these days if you're not coding? You haven't moved into management have you?

    Hey ID .. yeah it feels like a loooong time, and so much seems to have happened since then too. Hows things with you ?

    In answer to your question .. ha ha .. I'm afraid I have. I never was much of a coder, so had to do somethign to pay the bills

    KiwiDexter ... in no world ever would I EVER be referred to as anythign with the words "Justin" and Bieber" in it. I'm old enough to be his Dad! Thankfully I'm not though

    I did see that starting to happen. Some of the old Chit Chat threads used to crack me up. Does Mendhak still post ?

    How could one forget a Bionic Orange? TheSteroidTomato has never gotten over how you left without saying good bye and who could blame her?

    My advice would be to be less of a stranger and more of a stalker.

    Much the same as ever. I swapped my London job for a local one, but that's about it. Now that I think about it, I'm a little disappointed at the lack of variety in my life.

    Well to put into context, I changed jobs, moved 3 times, got divorced, now have another child, and a fresh new shiny mortgage.

    I would hanker for quiet right now!

    Posts in the chit-chat forum aren't included in your post count.

    That does sound a little too interesting. It's clearly because you lost the stabilising influence of having VBF or MangoJacks in your life.
