Purebasic "class reunion"

[the.weavster]

I'm also a lurker from the class of 2003.

Congrats on the munchkins Traumatic. I've got four monsters now (2 girls, 2 boys) but I've been instructed they'll be no more. I have other plans though, when my partner reaches 38 I'm going to trade her in for two 19 year olds so I can get a few more popped out

/me waves at traumatic Good to see you are still around! and you have more more ankle snappers LOL.

I too, tend to just lurk these days... I'm getting a little to old for arguing with people all the time over nothing

although there are enough people here who are happy enough to go to war with themselves without my help hahaha.

Take it easy dude!

Bought PureBasic in 2001 and still using it for some projects

I still have fond memories of the old forum. (and it's members...)
Its connected with my transition from RapidQ...

I'm here once a year around april 1

From time to time, I pop in and see what is going on.

When my ex split back in 2010, my life had been turned upside down. Long story short, I had to leave my post doctoral fellowship, got a new job in the Pharmaceutical industry, and haven't looked back. Life really, really sucked for a while, but it all turned around.

I will have to say that being able to code in PB has been invaluable for my job. I was able to oooh and ahhh with writing snippets and tools to search and parse PubMed searches. I was even able to code a piece to reorganize hundreds of thousands of lines of data and images. Heck, I wrote a small ipad simulator in PB for a client to demonstrate what an App for their program would look like. Nothing beats bringing everything together and winning 5 million dollars of business.

My biggest hurdle now it to take the tens of thousands of lines of code, self written libraries - basically everything I ever wrote - and get it up to speed with PB 5.0. Im clueless about what libs and include files still work, and just how all my code will still function in the new version.

Definitely glad to be starting to get back into everything!!

Yeah, Traumatic, here we are some of them.
Personally i have this forum most time open as main browser instance, and take a look time to time (just like now, that i have seen casually this thread), but normally i am working in other tasks, and also reading and writing about other matters.

Welcome

Hi,

DarkDragon told me about this thread for the good old PB coders. Nice to know many are still around. Remember back then when bytes had only 3 bits? Now it so damn easy, I tell ya!

I had to give up coding years ago as my job took over my spare time. But now coding has become an increasing part of my job, so I guess I'll drop around a bit more often.

No kids so far, just a mortgage

Regards to everyone. Good to see you.

Good te see old folks still around.
10 years since I joined the forum, at 63. Two grandchildren since. Now teaching music, and coding often enough to mantain the mind active.
Cheers!
