1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I was visiting my siblings and the nephew today.
I learned a valuable lesson. Never argue with a 3 three year old over whether something is pterodactyl or a pteranodon - they know dinosaurs better than you.

Sh*t. What does the email button do? I think I just used it.
So I said, dinosaurs are knowledge that largely does not benefit society and only resides in the young.
I also noted I wish I had young nieces and nephews.

It just sent me a private email is all. Worst thing that happens is I have your email addy now. The one you registered with your codeproject account anyway.
Don't worry. I won't sell it to spammers.

HAHAHAA!!! Well, there are gangs who stalked and threatened to kill my kids, but I think they worked out what my email was long ago. They certainly had my address and plastered it all over the internet.

|
|
|
|
OMG I'm so sorry!
Well I've already deleted the email. The only place i have your address anymore is in my lil noggin because it's easy to remember.
Your secret is safe with me.

I almost sent this one to you but didn't want to spoil the cultured high-brow attitude we have here on CodeProject.

Well, my brow keeps getting higher as the years plod along. Does that count as high-brow?

No. The Romulans. They sneaked up on it with their cloaca device.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It was a joint operation. Klingons were seen in the vicinity.

I can't see the sun - it's been raining here for 24 hours or more now, and it's not due to stop until tomorrow.
The river at the bottom of the garden is "busy" - normally you can walk across it without getting wet - and it'll probably rise another meter or so if the rain gets heavier. Hopefully the town just downstream will be OK - it's been higher than it is now without flooding them.
The cat did not appreciate it.
Other than that, I'm fine: it's just another grey, soggy day in lockdown is all.

Right? I'm practically still drying off from the sheets of rain that were coming down last week, but we've had a few sunny days since. The air is still biting and cold but with some earmuffs it's simply ... brisk.
I've been able to resume my morning walks with my other half.

The neighborhood over here is looking like a swamp, especially the parts where new houses are being built. Hope the new neighbours like their swimming pools, it reminds me of an episode of "Location Location" where they showed a house with a swimming pool under the living room.
Luckily our plot seems to be well drained, no trouble here.
