Yes, it's been one full year to the day since I gave up analogs and joined this site. Both Jan 9th of last year. I remember someone asking before and somebody else just made it happen. I can't find where in my profile I would set that up.......

Well then - congrats on your first vapeversary :toast:

Give it a day or two, the system will automatically give you the tag. It's not volitional/configurable.

Thank you for the congrats! If the vet tag is automatic that's fine. I just didn't know. The most important part is that this has now been working, well, for a year. And with the Reo I don't lust after other mods. Got 2 good ones and 2 good attys. I'm set! :)

Congrats Fleet your join date is 01-09-2014 So you may have to wait until the exact time you joined before the title change

Thanks Darrel! Appreciate it. As I said earlier, I have many people here to thank for my success. I just can't stress enough what this community has done for me. Thanks all!

Thank you all for the well wishes. I'm glad to be here. And I can say that after a years time I definitely feel better. No bronchitis this year, which used to occur 1-3 times a year. Weight didn't go up.

Anyone know what you need to do to get you ECF Veteran tag?

BIG CONGRATS FLEET!!!!

And many many more to come!

Um...are you gonna share that cake that Tory slaved over most of the day?


I just want the frosting....

One day God was looking down at earth and saw all of the rascally retirees ​
behavior that was going on..

So He called His angels and sent one to earth for a time.

When the Angel returned, he told God,Yes, it is bad on earth; 95% of
retirees are misbehaving and only 5% are not.

God thought for ​a moment and said, 'Maybe I had better send down a
second angel to get Another opinion.'

So God Called another angel and sent her to earth for a time.
When the Angel returned, she went to God and said, 'Yes, it's true.The
earth is In decline; 95% of retirees are misbehaving, but 5% are being
Good...'

God was not pleased.

So He Decided to e-mail the 5% who were good, because he wanted to
encourage Them, and give them a little something to help them keep
going.

Do you know what the e-mail said?

Okay, I was just wondering, because I didn't get one either.

My work allows me computer admin rights, because i do my own thing anyway. I don't care what they use - if i want something to benefit my workload - i'll write it myself.

What i refused to tolerate was the laptop they gave me had so many default restrictions on it that it was unuseable for the things i do. Simple conversation: remove them all - or i'll just hack it and run Linux on that same as the one here.

I ought to point out that my background was computer engineer and LISP programming - used for CAD programs and artificial intelligence (too bad you need some of the real stuff!) I hack my stuff in C.

Same here on the admin rights. The last place I worked had everything locked down and you had to ask permission to have something installed... stupid. They were also using 4 year old dell workstations. This place custom built high end boxes for the devs. They said the machine shouldn't slow you down. 8k on a system is work increasing developer productivity. it will pay itself off 10 fold in a year." I like that line of thinking :)

I do most of the CAD stuff at my work. The things i have on my laptop are really things nobody else can use, so they do not benefit from wider distribution. Accessing work's machines from home provides a benefit to all the sales guys, since they phone me anyway at weekends to ask about things from stock levels, to whether certain jobs have been billed.

This year will see the installation of a new system - and i have already pointed out that i don't really care what they decided on, because i can use anything and yesterday we had a manager's meeting about it. My staff are all pretty computer literate, but the sales manager is going to have a hard time getting her lot to play nice! :laugh:

Congratulations Fleet! The first year is the hardest i reckon. Sometimes a craving will try and grab you out of the blue, but not so often! :)

Kay - eat the meatloaf yourself, i would!

Northern Cali, eh? I was born and raised in NorCal - but I was 20min from Oregon border (everyone seems to forget there is still like a 1/4 or so of the state above the bay area :) )

spent most of my life in silicon valley. moved to sacto a few years ago.

but, you're right- there's not much above the bay area :)


wtg Fleet! Happy 1 year!




Sashie- you're still on my list :)

As a retired V.P. of Software Engineering, methinks Agile is way overblown



Good day, Reoville

... and you should get off his lawn, too.

Actually, I tend to agree. I've seen lots of projects meander and it does not compensate for either mediocre critical thinking skills or a poor work ethic.

now get off my lawn
