Sparkie, it's nice to see a post from you. :)

I know that once or twice I PM'ed you, asking if you could take a look at a thread I'd started. I can see now that that would be irritating, so please accept my apologies for doing it.

It'd be good to see you back on the forums as a regular, but in the meantime, good luck with your business!

Thank you Seymour Clufley, but there's no need for any apologies. I was/am always willing to help whenever I can. That's what being a member of this community is all about. :)

Hey Sparkie, good to see you're still alive. Keep focussing on your business, that's where your money is now. Good to see you're lurking around, so from now on I can sprinkle subconscious wishes like 'damn, what would Sparkie do in such a case' or 'this needs a Spark of ingenuity'... :-)

Once you are rich and successful (don't go for fame, it's not worth it) return to us... :-)

That's okay Sparks, I drive on the right-hand side of the road over here as well, so I am used to it! :wink: That's only when there are no footpaths to drive on mind!

In all seriousness, I did fail a driving test through driving the wrong way around a roundabout! I didn't actually realise it was a roundabout at the time. The poor examiner had his eyes shut when I looked around at him. I think he was praying.

Then there was the test where I ran a red light... failed that one as well for some reason I couldn't quite comprehend at the time? I thought red stood for danger and put my foot down!

What sort of work are you doing Sparks if you don't mind me asking?

Sparkie hasn't been here for a while, as he was fledging some new chicks. :)

Would that look like a bat when flying? :lol:

I sense a new age vibe there... it's a pity it causes loss of hair (or at least the woman on the image gives that impression :-))

I hope it is going well Sparks.

I think the forum's always quieter between releases, and buzzing with activity when a new version is released. It's the same way with almost all software that I use.

Anyway, I'm having more fun than ever with PureBasic, 4.51 is absolutely great! I've been using lots of 3rd-party libraries (like Xors3d) for development lately, and they all work pretty well with PB. Setting up new projects is a breeze and development is usually pretty fast. I guess I don't post here often because a) I don't have a lot of problems with coding and b) some of the stuff I work on are under an NDA.

I think this is a great forum, with very little flaming (compared to most other forums I frequent) and really helpful members. So thanks guys :)
