Hey, I'm new. The associative array below almost captures me. I started coding in BASIC on punch cards back in 1974. I was a kid. Then BASIC and C on my first PC. (What's more elegant than pointer arithmetic?) Mostly occupied by the web since I launched my first WEB*STAR server on my desktop Mac in the early 90s. Back then it seemed like you could surf the whole web in an afternoon. Remember helper apps? Like having a wall in place of your windshield, but you could download pix of what was in front of your car. Imagine driving like that and you can understand the Mosaic era. Ridiculous but true. And believe it or not, there was a day when the coolest thing you could do was watch a table border resize itself, visibly, so the result looked like a giant pyramid. I mean, watching an apple turn brown is cooler than that, but not back then. And DOM? What DOM? The cool thing, though, was that new tags and stuff just appeared almost on a daily basis. Now it takes years. The web is better today, but the gee-whiz factor isn't nearly the same.I have a permanent link to W3S and use it as a reference when I code. I'm always forgetting which argument goes where, and confusing my perl routines with similar routines in JS. So it's nice to have a quick link that's always there. I hit the forum link as a lark one day and was surprised by how big and active it is. Decided to join. Have already posted advice a few times and nobody's called me wrong, so maybe I'm in the right place.Full name: Jeff CarneyAlternative name(s): "Deirdre's Dad"Birth date: 1962Gender: DudeZodiacal sign: Kidding, right?Country of residance: USACity of residence: Ephraim, Utah, where being an atheist is an adventureHeight: 5'10"Weight: PudgyEyes: BlueHair: Kinky, receding, graying brown, crewcut, Smoking/Drinking/Drugs: Scotch, mostlyFavourite Music: Classic Rock: Pink Floyd, CSN, Yes, Moody BluesFavourite Movies: Seventh Seal, The Graduate, American BeautyInterest: Teaching, writing, digimusic composing, this, my kidPets: 3 cats, indoors only, all spayed/neuteredI must be full of myself, 'cause this post is so long.
