What is on Your Mind?

I really like this place. I signed up today and kind of lost track of time. In the past whenever I had a problem, and I'm like 'hhhhmmm how do I do X in unix?' or 'what unix command can do z', I'd google that and most of the times its this site that would pop up. And the answers are from years back.

I also noticed that there are lots of awk users/answers (???) here.

Yes, I am here *because* of the loads of stuff this site has on shell scripting.

Thanks alot!

I wonder where we are going with the initiative to upgrade this site. There was a tentative plan to restyle, but no prototypes that I have seen lately.

After evaluating vBulletin 4.0, the advisory team decided there was no compelling reason to upgrade to it; and in fact, we found many negative "form over substance" issues.

Hence, for the foreseeable future, we are not going to upgrade to vB 4.0.

Ok, thanks for that update.

To speak frankly about this site...mmm...i can not spend my spare time no where else but this site and i enjoy it... and i love it.

That's why i am having problem with my girlfriend because i spend more time in this site than with her!!!

For me, the site is a God Send. There is so much rich knowledge to glean even though the responses can be terse to say the least. But I acknowledge that more of a quirk in human nature than anything else.

Please PM me (or post here) any examples (links) of replies which you might consider overly "terse" and why.

Thanks.
