Haha, so punny!

Huh, I didn't expect to win with my first entry.

 

Well, this is both a happy and sad event indeed. I will miss you Frankrin

 

As I have other things to attend to this week, I'm going to pass the contest torch onto Adam or IcedEarth.

Ink, shouldn't you be a higher status than plain ol' member?

 

I was gone so long, I can't even recall what I was when I left; however, I certainly never made Retired.

Regardless, the majority of the member hierarchy seems to have changed.

 

Speaking of old faces, I can't entirely remember what your name was when I was around. I believe it was something like Sunscorch? It was certainly something else even before that.

Yeah I am. Did you change your username? Having trouble remembering an Ink - forgive me.

 

Nope! I only changed my name once to Evil Child or something along those lines, but nobody recognized me. Haha.

That's understandable. I was on the GFX Team after I stopped programming for Codex, which is where I interacted with you most.
Although I left pretty soon after sockopen got banned. Not much longer after that, I requested to be banned.

 

Yeah. I joined this site maybe 7 or 8 years ago? Crazy. Anyway, life down here is beautiful. Been living here for about a year teaching and doing freelance design while I slowly, but surely, get my own company started down here.

 

Haha, I joked about you teaching in your status update... looks like I wasn't far off

The S is a bit hard to notice, but overall I like it!

 

It also kind of reminds me of the symbols on the stones from The 5th Element.

It took me a second to recognize your picture, but you're Urban, right?

 

Glad to see you could check in! It seems a bunch of us old members got slammed by nostalgia

If he came to Europe he'd probably be too busy at my house~

WINK

b-busy watching anime and enjoying the nice weather here lmao

Now, children, let's take Chowder's choice shows into perspective...


Also, why Europe? The weather here is quite dreary. Just go to Australia, or better yet, Bali.

So, Chowder, still stuck inside? Bored!? Get learned! No excuses: http://noexcuselist.com/everything
 
Don't want to read that excellent list of great educational resources? Go to Codecademy and learn Python to begin your path to excellence as a Codexian Programmer.

This is looking to be an excellent little contest!

Good luck, everyone.

tar xzf filename or tar xjf filename are the ones I use most often

Thanks for all the welcomes, everyone!

 

I've never participated in a war because my pets were always too weak. Unfortunately, it seems I'll be in the same circumstance this time around as well

Do non-aussies know what a gobby is?

 

Yes, yes we do. The power of inference and contextual clues are wonderful tools!

 

Seriously though, after spending two weeks in NSW, I can't help but wonder: are most Aussies really as friendly as they seem?

Never licked Viacom's boot, no.

 

 

I mentioned VB more as a low water mark rather than to imply that you specifically used it You're asking me to remember what you programmed in 5 years ago? I barely remember what our programmers are working in now, let alone what you were working on five years ago. Until a few months back I thought the program manager was coded in Java, not Python

I believe Python was chosen in order to facilitate cross-platform functions, as well as the database functions. I could be wrong though, and there are many (perhaps better) reasons to use it. Also, our programmers at the time were all fluent in Python, whereas I think only Hydro knows C++ really well (maybe ShadowLink or Laser as well). Kind of odd really, because I remember Euphoria absolutely raving about Python and basically getting laughed out of the room. Four years down the road, here we are all using it.

Mumei sadly hasn't been seen in a while. I still remember how he bought the forum license for us. What a guy. On his motorcycle with his ponytail. Jolly fucker

 

Haha, watermarks aside, Visual Basic is pretty close to a dead product these days. I'm just messing around, really.

 

Java required more runtime pieces to be downloaded, so the transition the Python was a pretty logical one. The syntax is simple enough that most people can pick it up in a day or two.

 

I might work on a C++ and LuaJIT framework for giggles when I get a little more spare time

WB dude. There are a few oldies still floating around.

Are you interested in programming again? Or to put it more bluntly, have you moved past the VB stage of programming?

 

Psch, you clearly don't remember me that well

 

I never used VB, not once. The first program I released was completely cross-platform, if you recall

Now, I see that rather than using Java like I discussed with Mumei and Hydro back in the day, Codex headed towards Python.

That's an interesting choice, but I was expecting something interesting like C++ with Lua for simple scripting at this point

 

Really, I may only assist others with programming, especially since it seems most of the truly wanted programs have already been created.

If anyone has any crazy ideas, I may be up for a little collaboration.

Haha, I'm sure! Digibliss... man, that's old stuff

Hey, everybody! The name's Ink. Some of the older members may remember me, but most of you new people won't have the slightest idea of who I am.

 

A long ago I used to be a programmer and for a short time, a graphics team member. I made a few interesting things here and there, but overall I was just another angsty teenager.

 

So, I'm back now... while I may not necessarily become a programmer yet again, I'll surely try to assist those who need help or tips.

Hopefully I'll find my place soon!
