And soon there will be Codeguru meetings!

You've already lost two of them
(Amsterdam meeting, on 2001, Athens meeting, on 2002) .

Well, to tell the truth, they started as Codeguru meeting, but endeed as VbCodeLibrary meetings....In any case Iouri, Cakkie dr_Michael, Nrundle and I where there...

Next will be around Oxford, Great Britain, on january 2003 (if everithing goes on as planned) so Chris Eastwood and the OnlyOne (=ClearCode) should be able to join.
;)

I guess I should go to one of them if I want a picture of myself for my avatar. :rolleyes:

Why don't you come in Ireland next time? :p

I guess there will be one in the United States and one in India, next, to have a chance of having more of them (more of us?).


Elrond you already have a picture for youe avatar. And it's quite nice! Why do you want another one? Is it not you?

I have one but it's too big for the avatar. And I can't edit it since I only have Paint on this computer... what a shame! :)

I don't know if a meting in India will get so many programers as I am not sure that the majority of the indians are living and programming in India ;). Look at Sonu, he is in Germany.

No, it's not a picture of me. It's from the Elrond of the lord of the rings. I am much uglier than that ;) but I'll let you judge if I can get a picture.

If you have a picture of you, send it to one of us and we will reduce it for you :)

Oh too bad!!! It looked like an old friend of mine. :-)
If you are able to reduce my picture, you might be able to put a picture of yourself too ;)

I think the idea that Marina wants to convey here is that she doesn't really want to put her picture in her avatar, right ? ;)

Oh, and he's a really famous actor by any chance ? ;)

I still don't have a scanner or a digital camera, but I have microsoft photo editor than can reduce pictures.

I can make you slim if you want :D:p:D:p:D It's faster than judo...

well...give me the time to see the film (...;)... )
I was sure it was you, Elrond. Oh, all right. I will keep on saying I discussed something really important with Elrond from Lord of Rings....By the way, which is your name? Or you already told and I missed?....

Actually I have been looking for a picture from the Cartoon of the lord of the ring, so no one will think it's a picture of me, but I don't have been able to find any. Elrond is not a chareacter important enough in the story :(

My real name is Philippe, but I thinl I'll stick to Elrond as long as I am on this Forum :)

I have been trying to put my photo as my avatar, but I have the same problem: it's too big, moreover, bmp are not accepted :(
And my avatar isn't a picture of me :D :D

Tsss,
You'll stick to whatever we call you, man! ;)

Really ? I was almost sure it was you ;)

Well, if you want, you can attach your photos here and Elrond or me will get them into the proper format :)

Hush-hush, Simon baby! Even a real man like me gets tired of arguing with ye'. Aye~@! I give up! U win, u win, k? :p:p
U know what they say? Guys who're talented at thy art of bickering, like Simon, for example, are really gurls.;)
Anyway, I've more important things to do.

As for you, my li'l Iron maiden, aye~! I'm a human, please.....aye~!

I'm really tired now, cos' today, our school forces us to visit the air force of our country. It sucks, I tell you. These fools love to play stupid games with me, and hinder my productivity. Mind you, wasting time is a terrible sin. I can waste my time of my own accord for all I care, but I hate it when people waste my time.(that darn trip was compulsory)

What do u guys see in the army? Nothing but boys, men, males and hunks, of course. They make me so sick! Spat!

I could have sworn that women like Irona and Marina(the only 2 gurly-duo here) swooned and drooled over your pic. :):D:)

Uhmm.... you're living in Madrid, right now? uhmm... you surely go to "Huertas", don't you? (Huertas is full of "guiris") :p And you can see me :) ... uhhmmm I will have to think it :)

Well no I mostly hang around with spanish people in small bars. Even though my spanish is only starting to get usable :p And don't say I'm a guiri or I'll get angry :p

That's right, Yves! U're not good at bickering? Then........CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! U've made it to the 6th Heavens, the place where only men.....real men can go to!
(all others who're men but don't behave like one go down below)
As for the gurls, they go to 7th Heavens, of course. :D:)
(and those gurls who're gurls but don't behave like one go down below too)

hi,

Iam Babu form india, i agree this thread is useful to know the rate of developers from different countries.

yours
Babu

We have frickin' ("laserbeams") Luxembourg, but not Sweden and Finland, the Meccas of game- and mobile programming in this poll! For shame. I refuse to let two of the world's (once) leading countries when it comes to IT development to be among Other. :)

What can I say ? ;) You have to start lobbying. This whole thing of getting your country included in the poll is actually a big effort ;)

hej!!!
Come on Sweden!!

Then you should have come around here earlier :p You're knid of late and we've had no one from around there complaining so far.

But if you start lobbying, and flaming (but not to hard) Sonu and Brad for that, it may change...

Brad did the offert, that he would do it, if I remember correct.

(Just write him a nice PM and he will do it for you)

Hey Ungi !

I didnt get what your avatar means ??? I am thinking about that days and days, but i didnt see it ! It is a like of 3D pic ??

-Sonu

It looks like some conceptual art or something. Unfortunately for some people, their face actually looks like conceptual art. :D

Now seriously, am I correct? Is it a piece of art?

Quote:

---

Is it a piece of art?

It does look like a frozen cigarette packet ! :D

Sonu

you have a good fantasy!!

no, it is a photo of something, just guess a little bit!!

PS: Sonu, when did you get Moderator of XML Forum?? Or were you a Moderator and it wasnt visible in you profile at the right site of your posts??

Quote:

---

Maybe i should look at it for another two hours, then i will surely see it. So the full time to read the threads takes, lets say, 2 hours + 2 hours to understand the avatar of Ungi ! :D

-Sonu

if you are so impatient i'll tell you.

it's just a trumpet photographed from funnel side with some lighteffects. :cool:

No, i was not the moderator of XML. Actually Brad was the moderator, but i talked yesterday to Brad, cause i think this is a very interesting topic for me !!!

It is an Austrian box of cereals. Except for the fact that there are no cereals inside, but freeze-dried sauerkraut and bits of wurst. You have to add water to it, put it in the microwave, nuke it for 15 minutes et voila, we have fast food Austrian style.

Just a wild guess. ;)

hm.......a trumpet ??? It still looks like a frozen cigarette packet for me.

If you would let me compare two images, one from a frozen cigarette packet and one of your trumpet, i wouldnt see the difference ! I would say....wow two frozen cigarette packets ;)

-Sonu

This site is earthlings only. Go home Martians!!! :D

What did you mean with that anyway?

I read somewhere along the thread a suggestion of areas instead of countries. I think that is a smashing(tm) idea. No, no more Austin Powers references, I promise. North America, South America, Europe (yes, that includes you brits), Central Asia, East Asia, Australia, Africa.

So, like. Yeah.

Maybe it is a box for lederhose shoepolish or something. Just tell us what it is.

I suggested that. I'm glad you agree. This also gives support to my other suggestion, not to nuke Sweden in case I ever get to lay hand on 176 thermonuclear warheads in a distant future.

As I wrote some posts above:

You weren't serious about that where you? :confused: Since when is a trumpet box like shaped with edges and stuff? I've never seen a trumpet with edges since it doesn't exist. Do you have a link to a larger image?

About Ungi avatar picture: I was thinking some kind of smashed washing machine :D:D

For Metaphor: About areas, you can always calculate back the areas from whatever coutries you have. And I don't know if I would add the brits in Europe or in USA part ;). It probably depends the kind of Europe you think about... :rolleyes:

LOL.....a washing machine !!! You are right, it could be one !
Come`n guys let the fantasy play with you !!! :D

-Sonu

Hey Guys,

can you also see a shape which looks like a palm ???
Not that i have taken any drugs or something like that, to see that ..... :p

-Sonu

Well, the EU kind of Europe is SUPPOSED to include Great Brittain. I don't know, though, England seems kind of distant, don't know about the rest of them countries there. What's the Irish position on Europe, hmm? ;)

Is it really?
for me it looks like a Christmas gift...

I could imagine the trumpet, but what is the square silver box around???


As for martians, you can ask Brad to add it in the poll. But I think he can even add a thread for questions to martian, since now that you are decided to communicate with us, we may have a lot of questions to ask!!!

Even though they don't like everything about Europe (who does?) they are much more pro Europe than English are. And an additional reason may be because the English are slowing Europe as much as possible than Irish are European.

May be they are even more anti English than the french traditionnally are :p Imagine, during the last world cup qualifier, they were supporting Germany!!! :D:D

Maybe it is an old, white Mercedes, pressed into a little cube. You know they do that to old cars to get rid of them.
