I checked 2 weeks ago for the last time, and ture still had more than 10000 pts to cover, seems like EE is pretty active these days.

awww poor cal. Don't worry, I know you'll get that spot back soon. Ture's hardly ever around :-)
hmm, now that I think of it, usually when he's here you aren't - and vice versa...

hmmmmmmm
clark kent???

 

by: antratPosted on 2002-03-16 at 05:03:07ID: 6870799

I don't believe this!!!!! Last time I 'peeked' about week ago, Cal was still #1 and Ture #2.

What I want to know is, how come I didn't reclaim ranking from Cri :o)

Is here growing the ture's international fan club? ;-)

 

by: starlPosted on 2002-03-16 at 16:31:08ID: 6872557

ya know, I don't know how exact the top 15 is... we've been complaining to austin for weeks... tho he keeps telling us that it is correct, the numbers don't match - there are/were two CS Qs concerning this. Moondancer is *trying* to get it fixed, but since austin won't even acknowledge a problem..

anyway, the ta points and the history points don't match. and according to ture's and cal's histories - CAL HAS MORE POINTS!!!!

ture's msoffice history shows: 307086 Expert Points
cal's msoffice history shows: 332332 Expert Points

so....

hate to put a damper on the parade...

No no, honest I have been to bed and got up hours ago.

why don't we all team up with Ture and go e-lancing......then you may promote as much as you can ;)

 

by: criPosted on 2002-03-17 at 04:01:41ID: 6873746

Perhaps the cause is the windfall points we are getting from the correction of the "-1 questions". According to my memory and rudimentary bookkeeping, these went missing from the stats during the ill fated "Jrun" rewriting, but the experts points were not lost. I tried to communicate this to Moondancer in http://www.experts-exchange.com/commspt/Q.20277028.html but was not understood yet.

 

by: DreamboatPosted on 2002-03-17 at 04:40:53ID: 6873791

CRI! Wow! This is like "old home week"!

Now that I have you all here....

I just want to say that you guys are the BEST!

And if I had some HTML here, the word "BEST" would be italicized, bolded, underlined and in 1,000,000-point Broadway font!!!!

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-03-17 at 04:58:21ID: 6873805

Dreamboat, guess there's not much too add to that...other then that i want to thank you all for the fun i had here with the few who remained after all these years.....maybe we even get ahammar, vboukhar,okki or noggy back with the incredible work of Moondancer

btw do we all have such big egos to have our own domain name and building our own businesses ;O)

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-03-17 at 04:59:35ID: 6873806

has anyone looked into the game sheet of Tigerman already?

 

by: calacucciaPosted on 2002-03-17 at 10:05:49ID: 6874380

Bruintje,

Yes, I did, but TigerDave has started debugging it, so I have to look further into it.

Antrat, cri,

How great to see both of you back after so long!

Which applies to everyone here in fact, but Dream, Starl, Bruintje and nfernand have always remained +/- active these last months.

 

by: antratPosted on 2002-03-17 at 16:15:39ID: 6875365

Hi all

I'm afraid I wont be making much of an appearance (stop clapping cri :o)). Seem to get plenty of questions sitting in my inbox these days.


bruintje,
>btw do we all have such big egos to have our own domain name and building our own businesses ;O)

I don't have a big ego, just a big head :o). No building either, have to work from home.

wow - congrats antrat!

*sigh* I envy you dot comers... dream, antrat... just - wow!

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-03-17 at 21:11:37ID: 6875999

antrat > wasn't serious about that....only wondering aloud

 

by: calacucciaPosted on 2002-03-18 at 11:09:07ID: 6877827

> hmm, now that I think of it, usually when he's here you aren't

Almost true, starl ;-) I'm doubting myself at times.

 

by: starlPosted on 2002-03-18 at 12:17:37ID: 6877993

well! take a look at this question!!!! not a single comment from ture!!!! and he was here these last couple of months - while you were mysteriously gone.

 

by: starlPosted on 2002-03-18 at 12:18:29ID: 6877998

no one could be gone from here that long without major withdrawal - UNLESS they had another EE personality!

wow!!! now THAT'S a lot of points!!!

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-03-18 at 12:41:51ID: 6878065

starl you mentioned it and i was thinking it after that last comment from cal........you're a PI under the cover?

Have we ever seen cal and Ture in the same question? ;)

 

by: starlPosted on 2002-03-18 at 13:09:31ID: 6878128

SEE!!! I'm not the only one's who's noticed this!
HA!
you're caught calacucia/ture

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-03-18 at 13:24:49ID: 6878159

btw starl i didn't knew you're such an outlook expert.....i just wondered where that many points came from....that's cool

 

by: calacucciaPosted on 2002-03-18 at 13:37:03ID: 6878198

Proof:
My first ever posted question on EE (how little I knew about XL then):

http://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qManageQuestion.jsp?ta=msoffice&qid=10221090

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-03-18 at 14:31:54ID: 6878322

hmmmm.......that looks like proof but a B?

btw is it new that we write such long snippets of code these days or is that just a coincidence........

a colleague of mine showed me another good code question this morning, he used to make some real nice charts in APL, now he wants them into XL.....

and these are not your average line or bar charts, but relative bar-in-bar percentage charts composed of 6 or 7 different but related data series

he will give me some small data sample tomorrow.....they will be even better to crack then the conditional formatting of those bars in the other Q in this forum

and maybe i'm gonna need the help of the bunch presented here.....

 

by: starlPosted on 2002-03-18 at 16:36:13ID: 6878638

sorry cal... with all those compliments to ture ("best man of the company")... sounds like your buttering up your alternate ego! not buying it!

bruin *blush* awww, thanks :-D that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said. My goal is to rule the roost - or be neo's queen *lol* - there is NO WAY I'll catch up to him - I don't have that type of time!


charts *yuck!* don't know a thing about 'em!

 

by: calacucciaPosted on 2002-03-20 at 03:46:38ID: 6882257

So where is ture now?

He mailed me privately last week when starl posted her question 'for ture', but he either refuses to post here, either is completely absent since 5 days.

Maybe it's because ture is my alter ego.

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-03-20 at 04:16:56ID: 6882292

exactly! we're still not quite convinced, of course calacuccia/Ture could post a question and answer it himself in the same thread without any of us knowing the difference ;)

starl > with your wit it's a pitty we lost reddarin along the way......a pre neo king in outlook.......he could've delivered some strong resistance against the up and coming and you could've been the third one picking up the first place.......

 

by: starlPosted on 2002-03-20 at 06:12:41ID: 6882548

bruin - I wish, but slink, traval and esp. rj quickly pushed me aside. But, I'm still trying :-D

 

by: calacucciaPosted on 2002-03-20 at 08:08:38ID: 6882838

Bruintje,

Looks like I'm going to have to keep you busy over here ;-)

I'm looking forward to the crack temptation of the graphs you were mentioning above.

Regarding code snippets, I believe the long code snippets started appearing when ture, antrat, noggy and myself were almost competing to provide the quickest, cleanest and completest code for the same question around spring 2000. Since then, I've seen long code snippets very often.

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-03-20 at 09:17:55ID: 6883067

yeah you're going to keep me very busy ;)

but i think i'm branching out into vb and access since my only target is a top 50 position in the overall list and since you're target is first place here i see no chance for me to get into the top 4 for a long time.......i realize now i missed the fun and have to pay a steeeeeep price ;)

about the graph, i got a simple description today.....i'll have to go over it a few times break it up in a few little things and post some questions over here.....i must resist the temptation of not doing it all alone....because some good input is available here

 

by: calacucciaPosted on 2002-05-17 at 03:21:58ID: 7015871

Points for Brian, as Ture never showed up :-)

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2002-05-17 at 07:08:32ID: 7016228

Thanks Geert if i'm correct

i needed that to focus on my next target Cri

 

by: calacucciaPosted on 2002-05-17 at 10:04:31ID: 7016763

You're correct.

 

by: turePosted on 2005-03-22 at 07:36:54ID: 13602112

Now I'm here... Kind of late, but... Thanks Cal!

And I'm no longer #1...
