Dan:
What happened to your post count:
Looks like MJ figured out how to mess with his Logos forum account. [;)] Can't say he didn't deserve it.

MJ - I am disappointed. I wrote just yesterday about loving your neighbors, even if they are Samaritans. [:D]
Boy, with a post count of 10, they must be letting anybody in as an MVP.
They've started to dock Dan for frivolous posts. Knew he had some, but wow!
Boy, then I am in trouble. I must be down to three that will remain.
Logos changed servers for Logos.com....I guess Dan had a problem arise. He has been in contact with someone at Logos through this board to try and get it fixed. It may show he has less than 20 posts of experience but I would still trust him...[:)]

for Dan's reply. (It is the last few posts)
with a post count of 10
they are REALLY good posts, tho.
I expect that they are - but when I click on the post count, I do not find any posts, only an error message.

Dann, Wahrscheinlich jemand ist neidisch auf deinem Lächeln.
If this were Facebook there'd be an app where we could give Dan some of our posts for his post count.
Tes, eine ungeheuerliche Ungewitter!
Yes, Matthew, I am studiously studieren.
Mark, may I put a bid in for just 18-25 of your best technical posts? I need more balance.
Anything you want. All my educated and not-so-educated guesses are available.
You shouldn't have brought this up. Now that it is obvious there is a market for this, we'll have to incorporate purchasing post counts into Logos.com.
I suspect that you will want post count purchases to be a subscription that renews weekly so you maintain your status of course.
And for Dan, I'd have to consider if there are any bidders willing to consider bidding on my being way too busy to look at his post count issue next week.
Somehow, I think we better avoid too much bidding. Way too many nefarious possibilities open up if we start doing that! Let's leaving bidding to community pricing. (And just what is the community pricing level for Mark's posts? Oh no, not going there...)
And just what is the community pricing level for Mark's posts?
No more than a couple of hundred. And like Dan's remaining posts all very high quality.
Now if there were more than four or five offerings on Community Pricing, no telling what my post count could be. [6]
(And just what is the community pricing level for Mark's posts?
I might buy a few of the very best ones. The rest I can read for free on the forums ... [:)]
At least its fixed Mark's posts/resources ratio. Reminds me of the old upload/download ratio limits on the BBS systems. Oh sorry, thats before most people had heard of the Internet. Yay - 300 baud, uucp and AT commands. Anyone for zmodem?

Yes. [:)] (I.e., both.) Pun very much intended! Glad you got it. I knew it would be only for the elect few.

Not sure I'm happy with the gnostic undertones of hidden knowledge here. [;)]
Personally, I only went live in 1996 with 1400 Kbps.
However, I did have a Modulator/Demodulator attached by a serial RS232 flat cable to a BBC Microcomputer in my Primary [Elementary] School in Inverness back in 1983. It had a coupling cradle into which you inserted the telephone handset before manually dialling [not keying] the number of the bulletin board, but the analogue telephone signal was so "dirty/noisy" that we only ever once managed to get connected to a bulletin board for more than a few seconds.
So my early foray into the online world was thwarted by British Telecom's (BT as it is now) local loop. Some things never change.[:(]
Oh - you young'uns - My first foray into computing was as a junior in high school as part of an IBM Explorer post. We used Fortran and COBOL on an IBM mainframe in downtown Sacramento, CA. It would be another four or five years (at least) before the first PCs hit the market.
In college, remember using 8" floppy drives on an 8088 PC. Earlier in High School, punched paper tape was initial program storage media - used teletypewriter with modem (phone handset) for dial-up access from classroom.
Also curious about MVP post count reset - original thread topic - wonder about cloud computing data loss ?
Google search for "site:community.logos.com Dan Devilder" returns 3,620 results.
Keep Smiling [:)]
Oh - you young'uns
Floyd, thank you for the compliment. [:D]
However, in the interests of truth and accuracy I have to point out that I was the headteacher [principal] of the school at the time (1983) and I celebrated my 63rd birthday at the beginning of this month.
In fact, my first contact with computers was in 1967 when I was working for the National Coal Board at its Scottish Headquarters in Edinburgh and we were computerising all the stocks of equipment and spares in stores across the coalfields of Scotland at the time. The computer was housed in a clean environment to which mere mortals were denied access. Only the high priests could approach wearing special robes which were replaced every time they entered the specially constructed building located on the very edge of Edinburgh.
Thanks again for the compliment. [:D]
Every blessing
Alan
I'm sure others here have me beat, but I learned FORTRAN using punched cards. We used to have to submit our card deck to the system operator and come back the next day for the results.
EDIT: I also had a summer job for IBM programming in APL. What a fun obscure language! All kinds of non-ASCII characters. Actually helped me with learning the Greek alphabet, since APL uses some Greek characters like iota and rho.

Well, I can't beat Alan just above ...
One of my first "real" programming was using a pointed metal object (dentist drill bit) to push out pre-cut chads from 80-col cards. I then needed to add the control cards in front and back of the card deck for the school's charge codes. And then I would walk the deck down to a Bank, and they got processed overnight by some big Mainframe somewhere. Next day, if all went well, I got the cards back, and some lineflow.
I got to say, Logos4, multi GB of data, multi GB of Ram, multi GHz of CPU etc, sure beats the above.
Just wanted to weigh in and say how glad I am that my name could be attached (and encouraging?) such a riveting and highly personal discussion . . . even if it IS "off topic." [:P]

Oh Dan, I feel so sorry for you. It's going to take quite a long while of posts like that to earn back your ranks in the 1K+ post club. I hope David gets around to restoring your post count sooner than that. [:)]

But Rosie, that takes all the fun out of teasing Dan. And just think - a MVP with only 19 posts, he MUST be qualified. [:D]
We should note that Dan has done something no other MVP has done over this weekend. He's almost doubled his post count.
Credit where credit is due I say.
I was going to try to find proof that Dan had at one time had more posts, but alas I couldn't. Don't tell me we missed his entry into the 666 Club!
Your count is back ... somehow I thought you had more????

that was some good humor there, Mark!
yesssssssss, you did. And how COULD you, with a name like [6]-der. I guess I was an unimportant peon then. . . .

Oh, someone else learned programming using Fortran on punch cards. I hated those. They were a major pain to keypunch. Then when your deck came back it almost invariably failed the first time. The error was never actually where they flagged it. The error was in deciding midway through the program that another variable was needed but failing to go back and define the variable at the beginning. The first time that happened I nearly pulled my hair out trying to figure out where I made the mistake (I can prove that I pulled out a good deal of hair). [:)]
The way I see it, once the answer is given, we can use the thread for whatever we like. Its a form of recycling really ...
[+o(] <== Small hint of green (recycling)
Absolutely right, Jim. Saves cluttering up the forum with a lot of extra threads. [A]
Or it could just be a "stream-of-consciousness" thing. [;)]

Programmed in all those + Assembler, Cobol & Basic. One day I dropped & spread a whole box of punched cards over the floor, quickly re-assembled them, handed in the box and got a perfect compilation the following day!

So, high-level and assembler ... [:)]
Seems like my post count is stuck on 5 now. Pretty sure I had over 100.
Yes, I do remember you had way more than this. You must have changed your email address recently. The forum account is tied to your email address. Right now the only way it can be fixed is manually by the forum developer. Email forums@logos.com and they'll take care of it for you. Hopefully someday they'll be able to update the forum software so it doesn't wipe out people's post count when they change email addresses. We do have a permanent Logos ID besides our email address, so perhaps they could peg the post count to that.

Nice to know that someone had showed you about line numbers and that you used them. My first program was 30 inches of punched tape. Still have a copy.

It was more to do with the physics of dropped cards and a shiny floor!
