Hey folks,
Nice to be back in AO after a while. I've noticed a lot of changes here. It seems a bit more friendly now :-). Happy to see a lot of familiar names from the past. I'm a 20 year old computer engineering student interested in Security. I'm also interested in meditation,gaming,music and programming.
Cheers :-) !
welcome back PaketThirst. I to just came back to AO after being away for a long time. And yes there have been alot of changes. I myself prefer the old AO but oh well...well welcome back
I don't see a lot of old people. A few of them have banned status. Out of curiousity, did some kind of civil war happen here ?
Welcome back. I'm not aware of any upheavals. I think some people just don't like change of any kind.
I don't recall any sort of "civil war"............... we did get rid of that horrible purple colour...........I was totally behind that.
And, given that the "Northern War of Economic Aggression" was merely a temporary setback, we retained the "gray and gold" colours..........:p
People have been banned or wanted to change their accounts so they have come back as a different person. Isn't that a feature of relational databases............if you mess with key field data, you pretty soon break it?
And I am 56, so how much "older" do you want? :D
gosh nihil, ur three decades and six years ahead of me!. I guess that explains the number of posts you have made ;-)
haha, there may have been no civil wars, but there has been plenty of drama.Quote:

Thank you kindly my dear friends, I don't really think about my age that much, other than it explains a lot of the experience I lay claim to.
I distinctly remember my grandmother saying: "You little boys never grow up; as you get older, your toys get more expensive" I still remember that, 50 years later :eek:
I cut my first code in 1970, it was Fortran 4E, 80 column punched cards......... none of these nancy boy display screens, and certainly no rodents :D We also used Algol 60W for the scientific, as opposed to statistical stuff.
I went to my doctor the other day and asked him for some Viagra eye-drops......................I just wanted to look hard :p
You made up for it since you came back!Quote:

Moira, that was Edinburgh Grandmother I was referring to................ my other one was from Dublin :D
I live in Bridlington, which is an East Coast holiday resort, and the biggest shellfish port in the UK.
I also have a place in Kingston-upon-Hull, a small "pied a terre" but very cool............ we even have the Army use my street for training:D
The army use our local Cheviot Hills, specifically the Otterburn ranges for training but that's about 40 miles from here.
Moira: yeah!... I'm making up for it ... there's more to come !
That's good :) I've always got time for someone with an inquiring mind and the willingness to "think outside the box". In fact, I decided I was ducking your question in Cosmos, so I'm just about to answer it more fully.
Hello guyz,
