Survivor CP Paul Watson27-May-02 10:38 Paul Watson 27-May-02 10:38  So it's late and I need some creative thought to get my mind going again... How about a Code Project Survivor competition? I know how much we all despise Survivor and a parody is in order. 10 regular(ish) authors are selected from CP. How we select them could be tricky, but we can manage. Begining of the first week each posts an article. One with the highest ranking at the end of the week gets immunity. The other 9 are then set a language-agnostic challenge to complete within 24 hours (world wide time zones have to be included of course.) The results are posted and we all vote on which is best, the one with the least amount of votes, gets kicked. In the case of a draw Chris chooses (or Bob could choose to keep Chris neutral of course), we don't have time to re-vote or do something else.) The next week there are just 9 authors, once again who have to each write an article. Repeat and stir a bit with different challenges and a few surprises. An alternative idea: The 10 are split into 2 camps (camp wOOt and camp Opinionated) and each camp collaborates to write an article. The camp with the best article, gets immunity, and the other camp has to do the challenge. Naturally 10 may be a bit much and last a bit long, so we can cut that down if needed. Not sure of prizes.. maybe a Code Project tatoo (Out opinionate, Out rant, Out rave) or a trip to the Outback to see what survival is really all about regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.

Re: Survivor CP ColinDavies2-Jun-02 12:10 ColinDavies 2-Jun-02 12:10  I think its the start of a good idea ! Regardz Colin J Davies Sonork ID 100.9197:Colin More about me Financial Idea ColinDavies25-May-02 10:50 ColinDavies 25-May-02 10:50  I know CP is reaping in the money with its VS.NET sales, Unfortunatly I don't wanna upgrade just yet for a coupole of reasons, I have actually considered upgrading for the CP Icon, thingy. But $800. seems quite expensive for this one priviledge Anyhow how about making a limited series of Icon-Heads and Auctioning them here at CP ?

I can hear it now "....Convert to Visual Studio.NET and get a free Code Project icon...", not a bad idea but Collin there are a lot of other GREAT reasons to begin using the .NET Framework aside from an icon. Nick Parker In case you were all wondering about the toolbar... Jason Jystad24-May-02 12:31 Jason Jystad 24-May-02 12:31  I am feverishly working on the newest rev for your viewing pleasure. I will post it as soon as I have the bugs nocked out. I decided to use this as an exercise to hone my Mad W3b C0ding Skillz yet further. Now you're in for it. The three major deadlines I have coming up next week at work have been slowing down my progress though, the bastards! If I can get my Internet access and development environment up at home this weekend I will see what I can do to finish things up and post the new version. Trust me, it will be worth it. We're talking a whole wad of w00t new features here.

Jason Jystad27-May-02 11:53 Jason Jystad 27-May-02 11:53  Well, due to conditions at home I still have not finished this. Sorry people, I know you are all just desperate for the newest prototype. The situation at home (I recently moved): Internet Access is up Server is down Switch is down Development environment is down Personal workstation is down Ah well, I will get it going sooner or later. *sigh* Anyhow, I will get something up "Real Soon Now®©TM".

Sometimes , and just don't feel like the right response. (Maybe it could be similar to but with an open mouth and exclamation marks?)

Ads on external sites [James Pullicino]23-May-02 22:33 [James Pullicino] 23-May-02 22:33  Hi, I noticed that this AD loads from an external site: http://s0b.bluestreak.com/ix.e?ir&s=71861&n=1629192 Since at work we are behind a web filtering firewall, I only have access to certain sites. Each time the page loads which contains external links, an error pops up on my browser. I would be grateful if these ads where stored on Codeproject!!!

Re: Ads on external sites Chris Maunder24-May-02 1:11 Chris Maunder 24-May-02 1:11  Unfortunately we're not able to do that in this case since eHelp needs the ads to be served from BlueStreak for ad tracking purposes. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: Ads on external sites Nish Nishant24-May-02 1:19 Nish Nishant 24-May-02 1:19  Chris Maunder wrote: Unfortunately we're not able to do that in this case since eHelp needs the ads to be served from BlueStreak for ad tracking purposes.

New version of the Posting Toolbar is up Jason Jystad22-May-02 6:43 Jason Jystad 22-May-02 6:43  I have implemented most of the requested features and I have made the whole thing dramatically more cross browser compatible. I still have a couple of features to implement and compatibility issues to work out, but I thought I would post the most recent version for everybody to look over and shake down while I finish up. If you find anything that you think it needs, anything you think doesn't work right, or if you just have a comment about it please post it in this thread. I will keep an eye on it and track any issues that come up. http://www.jystad.net/replytoolbar.htm [new window] Jason Jystad Cito Technologies Sonork ID: Ogami(100.9918) An object is simply a referenced thingy. --Larry Wall (Programming Perl) Re: New version of the Posting Toolbar is up Alexandru Savescu22-May-02 9:21 Alexandru Savescu 22-May-02 9:21  I see you fixed the caret position problem. You should keep a revision history also so we can see all the features and test them. A combo with fonts will be cool also.

I wanted to do that, I just didn't have the time to type one up. I will do it soon. Work is just crazy right now. Alexpro wrote: A combo with fonts will be cool also. I thought about that, but I came up with so many complications that I havn't done anything with it yet. I'll keep trying to see if I can come up with a way to do it. Now, back to work.

I'll add it to the list though. Jason Jystad Cito Technologies Sonork ID: Ogami(100.9918) An object is simply a referenced thingy. --Larry Wall (Programming Perl)
