This one should not be difficult either[^]
And another one, more cryptic[^].

The more cryptic one is too cryptic for me!

The mere fact that I use cryptic should be a hint. Don't you know about that business of him[^] ?

Do you know someone else who is perfect and knows it?!

That last one could be Chris and/or me.

Nope. Solutions:
Top post: V. (for the movie quote) or Pete (for his CP bio picture)
Second from top :
Chris (bicycle + hamster)
DD ( the ink bucket ...)
Third post:
Bill (long good read... for his long posts)
Maxxx (yeah, the curve shows a maximum)
Nish (C++/CLI, who else use that ?)
Trollslayer(picture says it all)
Good'ol' fat_boy (and global warming)
Sean (no explanation needed)
and Chris Elston (Remember that shed story of his ?)
I could not come up with some picture for you...

I actually got most of them, except the last as it also had a wheel-barrow in. Chris was my main choice.
Who is "The Member who is not here any more"? - CSS, "Teh" or A.N.Other
[Edit]
Got it - I've just realised that isn't a picture of a troll. Bill took me a while to get.

Opsimath: one who learns, or begins to study, later in life: [^].
I started about age forty-one, programming (you guessed it) BASIC, and then 6809 assembly language, then Pascal, then Lisp, SmallTalk, then PostScript, then on to Visual Basic and Excel<=>VBA, finally, reaching a fantasized nirvana with .NET and C#.
As this aging disintegratingly-animated package of meat-over-bones approaches (too soon) his 923rd. lunar cycle on this planet: he experiences it as wondrous, indeed, to behold, after thirty-years in the technical game, Visual Studio 2013, update 3, taking as long to complete simple actions in the design-ui as once measly 8-bit computers of yore used to traverse a doubly-nested for-loop ... that is: when Visual Studio 2013 doesn't crash on launch.
Of course that is an invidious comparison, and I will flagellate myself in expiation as soon as I post this.
cheers, Bill

Bill-ji, reach out to Xamarin and the world of Android (or if you prefer, iOS) will be open to you. New wonders await me, and I hope you.

Xamarin brings the vagaries of Visual Studio to the Mac. It often hangs for no reason, or when 2 Android AXML files are open simultaneously and you try to move from Design view to Source view.
It crashes, taking with it any and all changes you were making, Autosave being something that kicks in, inexplicably, after you've closed and re-opened a(n apparently) fully saved solution.
I can't decide what is the biggest challenge: keeping Xamarin running long enough to do something useful on it or working with the horrendous user interface for Android.
iOS support is slightly better but then, it has more to work with

Yes. I started at the advanced age of seventeen (in 1983). Years after my contemporaries had become ensnared by the siren's call of BASIC -- on the High School's PDP-11.

After completing my 12th, I left my study and involved in my small father's business. After 6 years, I learned HTML, JavaScript and VB,C#. Currently stick with all .NET technologies.

I'm no opsimath - as I began at a tender age (a mere 50 or so Lunar Cycles) to dabble in the mysterious world of incantation-by-keyboard.
My Pater was oft heard to bemoan 'progress' by pointing out that his first Word Processing program (on the BBC Computer) took up as much memory, in its entirety, as the hi-resolution MS Word Icon!

Does it count if you started a long time ago (before the internet was even in the vocabulary of the citizenry) and then, this month, you are starting another study in yet another language ?
Of course, this computer language is the ultimate end-all, be-all, for everything forever. It will save our souls and provide for our needs, permanently. Forever.
Are you familiar with those science fiction movies from the 1950s ? You know; the Black and white movies with aliens from advanced civilizations popping in for a visit. Their computers were programmed with it.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
