Of course it is, but who's in hurry? 
You have just been Sharapova'd.

BTW as I just noticed, congratulations in advance for your 100000 rep, just in case I miss it.

Wow, thanks, even if I am not far even by next month

We can massively downvote him and try again

LOL
Be my guest, I think that has been tried before with little success...

1. Login to CP.
2. ???
3. Upvotes.
He should write a book about it "Get rep quick!" the new CP Times best seller!

I know! He works very hard in Q&A for it.
What I don't understand is how he gets the time. He's self employed. Now exactly which client is willing to pay him for spending all his working hours on CP?
Apart from that, it's quite a feat. It's not easy gaining points in Q&A either. It's not enough that you write an answer (correct or not, doesn't matter) - if you don't supply a working code solution, you WILL be downvoted there!
I don't go there much myself, because I find it too frustrating that even the suggestions given in the most helpful spirit stands a big chance of being downvoted. To quote the famous philosopher Lily Allen: "It's not fair!"

And then of course there's his arch nemesis[^] in getting QA points

Or not getting an upvote because someone posted a link to Google instead

You got me, I'm an unemployed loser living off Herself's meager income and bumming off the state...
I don't really try to get points - I try to give good answers to good questions, and "gentle slaps" to lazy questions.

There is another aspect to it, come to think about it: He's likable - to people and sheep alike!
Some people earn upvotes by being unlikable - normally because they say the stuff that everybody WANTS to say but are too timid to actually say... 99% of THOSE people hang out here in the Lounge and The Soapbox... They wouldn't be caught dead in Q&A whre you can be downvoted for real!

I can't be bothered tracking my own points. Why would I want to stalk another users points?

Isn't that known as a "Bromance" these days?

Possibly. It were known as "shirt-lifting bum bandits"(1) when I were a lad(2)
(1) Not politically correct, these days, I'm sure, but it's a fact nonetheless
(2) apparently I came from 'up north'

Helping you improve your English - not being a pedant...
And there was no rejoicing.

Want to know where the people who are self-proclaimed not pedantic, but still correct other peoples spelling and telling them they're wrong come from...?
I can give a hint, Pete doesn't live there

Are you suggesting "darn sarf"?
I certainly don't come from darn sarf, me old mucker!

"y" was indeed a mistake. I was almost 100% positive it was "were" though. My bad.[^]

Never fear. I'm close, but don't hold your breath.

Here's something I jut discovered that I had completely forgotten about!
back in my youth, I wrote for various computer magazines under a different name (long story!)
Anyhoo - one month for a magazine I reviewed all of the available Doom map editors (AKA WAD editors, after the .wad file suffix for maps)
And I published the wad I created.
And I had completely and utterly forgotten about it.
Then, looking for something entirely unrelated - I found you can still find it on the interwebs[^]!
Now I'm going to be scouring them webs for more stuff what I did!

I know that feeling : I used to (modestly) belong to the demo scene and made music using a tracker[^] when I was young. Some of the tunes I made are still available on the Interweb...
[edit] looks like markdown and wiki links are not compatible

OMG! I'd forgotten about trackers! I even wrote a player for one at one point!
E experimented with 'reversing' the wave as it played, on one channel (so the waveform was reflected about the x axis) so it didn't play backwards, but the 'polarity' was reversed.
Gave a fantastic 3d sound effect if you reversed just one channel.
I'm guessing that's how 2-speaker surround works! i should've kept it up!
Also (and this is something I'm not sure many people know!)
If you look at a side-scrolling game, with a bit of parallax going on, and cover one eye with sunglasses (I took a sunglass lens and used it 'monocle-style) there's a great 3D visual effect.
I had dreams of combining the two - but I was reviewing freeware games and utilities at the time, so having far too much fun playing with other people's toys
