    Today

    I have finally reached 15K posts.

    I joined the WinDrivers Forums in May 2001 after lurking here for a few months.

    ...

    I am old.

    *sigh*

    The old saying goes, your only old as you feel.
    Last thing I remember, running for the door,
    I had to find the passage back to the place
    I was before.

    Woohoo! That means I'm still only 16!
    One Script to rule them all.
    One Script to find them.
    One Script to bring them all,
    and clean up after itself.

    I bet you $10 you don't get to 16K
    There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
    your hand or head stuck in something

    Well, not this week...

    If you recall, 1000 posts in a week wasn't all that hard for me to do before I took a sabbatical.

    I had reached 14K posts way back in December 2004... or perhaps even November 2004. so it took 3 years for that last 1000.

    A little and often is what I always say...
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Forget quality - aim for quantity!

    It would be quite interesting to know how many of my posts are actually in the lounge...I hope mine are mostly quality

    Is there a way to actually track this apart from a custom query?

    You got me all curious now.

    I think there might be, but it would be inaccurate since very old non tech posts have been pruned, so the totals wouldn't add up.
