I really enjoy going back and re-reading my articles. Sometimes, I find myself asking if it was really me that wrote them.
Seventeen years on CP next month (and I was here for a couple of years before registering as a user, too).

Yeah I get in a reminiscing mood every now and agin and go back and look at my articles.
Looking at then and now, I've grown a lot.

I am heading to year sixteen. SIXTEEN. This is just plain crazy- time flies.

Probably the CodeProject editors spiced them up a bit

I know you're just being sarcastic, but I think there's a standing rule at CP not to f*ck with my stuff. They may be in Canada, but I can easily cross the border without being noticed.

I have some
[OriginalSourceCode(LicenseType.CPOL102, "John Simmons / outlaw programmer", "http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/16646/Reliable-Floating-Point-Equality-Comparison")]
public static bool AlmostEquals(this double value, double other, double epsilon = Const.Epsilon64) {
}
and
[OriginalSourceCode(LicenseType.CPOL102, "John Simmons / outlaw programmer", "http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/16646/Reliable-Floating-Point-Equality-Comparison")]
public sealed class AlmostEqualComparer : IComparer<float>, IComparer<double>, IEqualityComparer<float>, IEqualityComparer<double>
{
}
in my code base, and use them quite often. And I know they are not the only thing I've learnt from CP, by far.

Wow. That one wasn't even well-received.
Maybe I'll re-evaluate it and write a new version of the article for C#.

15 years and 3 months and I lurked for quite a while before that. It's gone way to quickly but better than the alternative.

Had to look myself up after reading this.
Holy crap, I've been here for over 16 years.
The only account I have that might be older (and still used all the time) is probably my personal Hotmail account.

I would enjoy reading mine more if they were better.

You think your first article is still relevant? Or technology has changed a lot.
(I did not see what is your first article)

My first one was posted 26 Nov 2000, and was a MFC-related article. I don't know if it's still relevant, or after going back and looking at it, it's really short, and the code might even be a little buggy.

Congratz, John, for longevity and persistence ! Your technical work has always been interesting.
cheers, Bill (15 years, 10 months).
