7. An hour with a posh prostitute wouldn't cost as much as a bottle of those!

:wow:

2. A crude text editor..

.... that was probably used to create a lot of great software :)

3. vi eats it. EMACS RULES

hey, wanna start a Unix flamewar?

[sendero]

4. EMACS?

As the president of the company I once worked for, who went on to retire a young millionaire once said about EMACS, "I don't want to use an editor that is smarter than I am" :)

I liked vi. Except for the ridiculous line orientation, it was a cool editor.

I don't think you caught your SIG15. :)

5. I've since moved on

mostly do Win stuff now, as that's the platform at work (unfortunately). Quite like UltraEdit on the Win side.

6. Oh me too..

.... I haven't done any real Unix since the early 90s, save scripting and stuff like that on Linux.

I used to be a hot shot UI coder C++/MFC, but haven't worked in the field in a few years.

I have fond memories of Unix though. It was twice the OS Windoze could ever hope to be :)

8. We are VERY SLOWLY getting more Unix-y

I do web stuff nowdays, and we're gradually building more apps on LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) as opposed to MS/.Net. It's very subversive and under-the-radar right now, but with the increasing MS licensing fees we could very well move that way even quicker.

One can only hope...

9. Cool...

... I've built a couple sites using MySql and php, I love em. For the price you can't beat em and I was always a Perl fan even though I recognize it is a total kitchen sink, it sure does get work done in a hurry :)

I'm planning to seek a real job here pretty soon. Wish me luck, I'll probably need it :) :) :)

11. Ahh, good old Perl

If it can't be done in Perl, it probably ain't worth doing. :D

Good luck in the job market. It's getting better than it was, say, a few years ago, but it's still kind of iffy. :bounce:

10. Victory? Sorry, too much Winston Churchill ...

When you live in the UK around my time you tend to get taught a lot about WWII in school. To my knowledge this is still the case. It's enough history to know that although it's far enough back it's still present enough to speak with people who experienced it to tell you how it really was.

Although I chide my grandmother for being scared to fly _and_ being in the Women's Royal Air Force at the time, I can understand considering how many planes were being shot down around that time as to why she didn't want to fly.

Mark.
