Welcome back, look forward to your pearls of wisdom.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Glad to hear your mother is doing better, always a scare when a loved one gets an unfavorable diagnosis.
Hope everything else works itself out and life returns to an equilibrium for you.

Happy to hear your mother got better... We can wait for an other article a bit longer if that helps...

Happy for you.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Hi Marc, I'm going through a similar situation with my mother (88) so I know how it must be, keep the faith

89, tough old bird then, here's hoping to a return to health.
I look forward to a healthy flow of rants and articles. Marc the level of respect and appreciation you have achieved in this community is equaled by very few, thank you.

I will not pry. I'll just say it's great to have you back in the saddle.
We're an email away if you ever need anything. And that's a pretty broad "anything".
cheers

So I'm working on this WCF service and I need to add Basic Authentication.
Search on the big wide internet and I find a question. On CodeProject. From myself in 2016.
Answered by myself a day later in 2016
Thanks me, I can always count on you

Yeah, I've done similar.
Need a way to do something, google it, and the first result is an article on CP about exactly that. Written by me two years ago ...

I had the same, but that's bad.
Apparently you were once an expert in that area, but you forgot you even knew
I know I had the same problem some years ago and that it wasn't easy, that's why I decided to Google it right away

Discovered that it has caused a very critical bug 3 years later in July 2019 by your self.

I don't work for that company where I wrote that code anymore...
So who knows
I recently visited an ex-employer who was working on some code I wrote years ago that now completely froze up the application.
I told them I was glad they were the ones who had to sort it out

Well, if you can't, who will...?
I've done the same thing. Only, I've found my question, but it still had no answer years later...

I had a similar, but less helpful, experience when I was working for a large British Airline that will remain nameless.
I called the Technical Help Desk and asked about a particular system feature and was directed to call the person who "knows most about it in the company", me!

That's brilliant
Especially if you have no idea and the phone next to you starts to ring and you pick up and hear yourself (please tell me it was like that)

Almost. I received a message on one of my pagers (I had to carry two identical pagers, for two systems I supported, but with the same message tone. I was constantly checking the wrong one first.) to call a particular number... guess who's number that was!

It's the day in which in NASA launched for the moon, I would have thought Bob would be happy there was the start of a program to reunite him to his brothers... For the landing give Bob a Helmet at least!
