Longevity is a virtue. Glad to have veterans who are not only prolific posters but provide meaningful info and assistance.
Thanks Meanie.

Amen!

Yes, Meanie, congratulations!
I appreciate your work very much, and I hope that I could and can give you something back.
The mug will come soon, too!
But I still don't know why you call yourself "Meanie". I'm still waiting for the day I will understand that.

Thanks everyone
"Meanie^^" was my IRC nickname. I used to taunt and scare the unsuspecting L-users...
-
Congrats meanie! Towards more good years! 8)

here, here! Congrats, meanie. I pretty sure you are some kind of god!

well done meanie... I didn't say anything but I too was watching the "top ten lists of posters" and trying to catch up, but you kept leaping ahead... I did wonder if you were trying to break the record, and now I know you were. Not too long before you'll be in the top two!

p.s. you've got a long way to go before getting into 1st place.
p.p.s. I probably would have got there before you but I have a life

Not trying to get to personal, but do you already have a perspective finger targeted for that ring? If so, then you do so have a life!

Congrats for the ring stuff, and welcome to the club.

when I got engaged, erm, pretty much five years ago, I went to a specialist diamond retailer, having read up on the details, and bought a "proper" certificated diamond. Lots of places will tell you that a certificate is expensive or pointless, don't believe them, it's because they're selling low grade diamonds and/or want to push you way upmarket. A smaller but good cut/quality diamond will be more impressive than a big junk rock, especially to people who know.
--edit--
oh yes, and congratulations! Are you going to stream the wedding live over the internet via your OQO
-
If he sets it up right all OESF can watch Menanay say 'I do' in five types of machine code on a live web stream. Legend has it Menaie hacked together one super-hot antipodean cyborg lady friend- I should know as I've heard Meanie has me in mind for best man. 1st class flight to Sydney, 5* accomodation, Kylie.. all catered for, ain't that right ol' buddy ol' pal?
-
we're all getting invites to the wedding, right?
hehe

Would you mind recording your engagement with KhdRecord?
-
Congratulations on both of your milestones.

Ok, so I lagged a bit, but I just hit 2000 (I stopped trying too hard)... so this is my 2001st post (da da daaa daaaa daaa).

these little rocks are damn expensive...

yeah, they don't come cheap. don't know if it's the same in Au as Uk, but I was able to get the wife's ring insured "all risks" by putting it on the house's contents insurance and it only added about US$20 per year to the cost.

Sweet! That's a nice perk for making 2000 posts!
Seriously though, I remember when I popped the question. I almost cried afterwards. My fiancee told me the next day that she had been waiting so long, she would have been happy with a cubic zirconia. Actually, I think I'm tearing up now, just thinking about it.

my GF at the time, now wife, had been already been telling her closest friends that I was going to propose to her over valentines (even before I'd absolutely made the decision to!). She'd noticed the bottle of champagne had been acquired... snag is on the day, she tucked into the fine chocolates I bought to go with the question. She'd have been humiliated if I'd paniced (sp?) and not proposed!

you mean that you could have spent all that money on a really decent big-screen TV plus an xbox 360 instead?

And thanks for all the help and interesting posts, my Zaurus wouldn't be the same without them....
And neither would my late night wanderings through oesf.

not really, honestly, I was just curious to see whether adf would pick up speed, but your rate of posting is a bit higher, but "lardman" is much higher so you'll never catch him and be doomed to stay in 2nd place!
my rate of posting is too low to catch up with adf, so I'll always be 4th, ;(

Hearing you say that and the word "evil" in the same paragraph reminds me of [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showuser=3774]ev1l[/url] and others who were on here when I first came to OESF but are now gone.
-
Yeah, I thought of that too.
It took a long time for the Z to get decent (mature) 3rd party roms (sharp/cacko aside). I guess interesting things were happening elswhere, and sharp wasn't really upgrading the hardware the way they should have. I don't recall Evil1's Z going up for sale, though.
we barely hear from Mickeyl Koen or Lardman anymore either (or SashZ). I hope the OZ guys are tinkering with the Neo and will come back with something interesting
-
Meanie, you're 'da Man on this forum!!!
Congrats on going over 2K, all the wonderful things you do for Linux dopes like me and your engagment!
Take it from this ol' married guy....
It's not that married men live longer (than single guys...)
It just seems longer!!!
All the best!

I've been married nearly 5 years now, and we have a 3y2m old boy; it's hard to remember what life was like before we had a kid, and my single days when I could play with toys till the early hours and have a lie-in are a misty dream. I used to have a nice 2-seater sports car, now I have a cheap SUV. Meanie, enjoy your single days, get a sports car, big screen TV, etc etc while you can!!
-
well, now meanie's gone and got married, it's allowed me to get ahead! And it won't be too long before 'adf' also takes over and gains 3rd place.
Sad to say meanie, your crown as number 2 lasted one year!
I think lardman's crown as number 1 will take a bit longer to beat, as it's taken me 3y9m to get to 2800 posts and lardman's way ahead with 4514 in 4y5m!
--- edit -- looks like ZDevil's gonna reach club2000 before CapnFish unless the Cap'n pulls out all the stops
-
I don't understand why Meanie doesn't just drop in once in awhile. I'm sure a lot of people here on the forums miss him.

I agree, Jon_J, miss havin' ol' Meanie around.....
I hope nothing happened to him after he got hitched.....very strange how he just dropped of the Z radar screen....
Mark
Still a ways away from 2K posts....
-
yeah, it's a shame that Meanie hasn't even had time to say hello. Antikz/Tyrannozaurus hasn't visited for a while either.
-
I sent Antikx a PM a while back just to make sure he wasn't dead or anything, and he hasn't responded (so I guess that's not ruled out... )
-
Antikx is okay...had family stuff going on, I PMd someone else who'd heard from him a few days ago. He should be back soon.

That's good to hear!

reminds me of ev1l (https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showuser=3774)

-
the word "evil" in the same paragraph reminds me of ev1l (https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showuser=3774) and others who were on here when I first came to OESF but are now gone.
according to his public profile he's not been on in nearly three years.
-
I got busy with RL things, the developper (zautrix) for the app I was helping on (kdepim suite) disappeared from the face of the earth (althought he's now posted a new kdepimpi a week ago apparently), and I realized gcalendar works from everywhere.
I'll buy an iphone 2.0 or something, because it works for the intended purpose.
greetings to your moms.
-
Nice to see you on the forums, even occasionally! Good luck with the iphone2 or whatever you use--though I hope it willbe something open

I notice that meanie called in yesterday, didn't post anything, but hopefully that means he's alive and well!

WOW!!!!
First Ev1L posting and now Meanie lurking around here again.....
What next????

Hey, I just hit 2^11 posts

just realised, I passed 3000 posts, won't be long before I hit 3 x 2^10!
I don't think I'll ever beat lardman who's on 4515, a pretty profilic poster before he defected to the nokia tablet (where incidentally he's now elected to officialdom in the world of maemo)!
I think meanie must have forked a sub-process , i.e. had a child, as he's obviously far too busy to play with gadgets !
