If you look at the members list in reverse "join date" order you will find the first members (original owners) joined on 12-20-2001 (20th December 2001)

And you've made 40,000 posts since 2005?

It doesn't seem that long when you say it quickly

Are you on webmaster-talk/tycoontalk while at work?

Since I began college to receive an AA in "Web Applications and Design" I've been on these boards a lot as i'm extremely bored in class. Learning what the difference between "<br> and <br />" is makes me just want to go crazy, so I come on here and troll the link spammers/help out those who are new or uneducated on the internet. Helps pass time and is fun

Absolutely no problem. I enjoy coming to this site.

I wish I wasn't "twirp54" I made that name years ago when I was young doing the logo contests. It doesn't come across as very professional. Oh well.

Technically I was, but as I was self-employed from 2003 nobody seemed to mind,

and it would give my brain a break from PLC code and Ladder Logic, Visual Basic, vBScript, Arizona PiC micronontrollers, Venom VM1 & VM2 embedded controllers and the odd foray in to C or Delphi (Pascal OOP)

some times the distraction is a welcome break for fifteen - twenty minutes. It can put a different perspective on the job in hand and the context switch in thought processes often brings a fresh idea to the coding.

**Shey** · 10-05-2011, 09:43 PM

Wow Chris, very impressive!

**Jim Gillum** · 10-06-2011, 04:44 AM

A pleasant break from the normal hard work of my usual day.....

And you can only be described as a complete and utter idiot by insulting the place you hope to drop links at.

That's great Chris! I spent a year learning PLC, matlab etc and from next month onwards I'll be working in a software firm! Life is funny sometimes.
