Well, everyone in my form has one but I'm the only one around here...

Yes, but only once -- the friend of mine who turned me on to ticalc.org. :D

Oh yeah -- Real World? What's that? Is it any different from the Digital World where we all converse? :D

You're welcome.

By the real world they mean Star Trek, right? Well, TI calculators are very prevailant on the Enterprise NX-01, so sure I've met people.

Olivier Armand is my classmate, And I met Partick Davidson at the "Open Paris XII" last year. I although met Patrick Pellissier a few weeks ago. And I know many french programmers (all thanks to the opens)...

I helped many members of the original RBP on a head-to-head basis learning TI-Basic, so...yes, on a regular basis once upon a time.

I've never met anyone from the TI Community in person. I once had a dream that I did, though. :-)

Fascinating! Who did you "meet"?

-TrumpetMan

Bryan Rabeler and Thomas Hruska. I think I had that dream because I had been spending too much time reading the mailing list archives. :-)

Whoa! So have I! Weird...

Thats not weird. I once had a dream that Magnus was teaching me how to bea filearchiver before they even announced that they were going to hire for that position.

It scared the crap out of me when I was accepted for the interview. However the whole process is much different than I dreamt, and Magnus of course wasn't showing me how to do it in person :-)

I dream often of being a staff member here or of being at a ticalc.org convention, of course when I'm not dreaming of being God... How about a convention in the southern US?

Wow! That's cool! You dreamed about it... and then it happened :)

Hmmm... I thought I was the only one to have such a dream. I bet mine tops all in weirdness, though.

I dreamt a bunch of ticalcers all lived in a house with the same color scheme of this site! Yeah, it's weird.

I need to find out what I ate that night so I can have more of it!

No, but if I were to, I'd like to meet one the 337 that have downloaded my stuff. It'd be a high-five'n good time.

Unless your program SUCKED! Things would be different then. :^D

which they don't.

I don't know if I'd want to meet all the n00bs that e-mail me and say "HOW DU I RUN DIS PRGM DAT I DWNLD FRUM U?"
That's a pretty scary thought...

That's why I only give out my junk email adress, although I'm willing to give my real one out to anyone that wants it. ;^)

Just make a junk adress to give out online. Spam free is the way to be! :^D

I have a spam e-mail address. It's VERY handy for signing up for stuff on the internet. :)

I had one but it got >1000 spam messages in two days. It then got shut down. ;)

Wow! How did you get THAT many? I've gotten 50 in my normal e-mail box in one day... but 1000? That's a LOT.

I signed up for an account on yahoo messenger, and it gave me a free email address. I havent given it to anyone or anything, and i get at least 100 spam messages a day....

hey, 337 is 1 short of 1337!

OHMYGAWD!

The first thing in that post I saw was '337' (how much does that tell you about me? ;) ), and my first thought was "typo!". :D

nooo...it's 10^3 short! :-D

Haha, you do realize that by typing 10^3, you didn't save any typing time? 10^3 and 1000 both have 4 characters :) I'm starting to hate scientific notation since I see it in Chemistry every day. (blah)

And actually, by searching (yes, even if you type well, there is STILL a little bit of searching involved) for those FOUR characters rather than being able to repeat the "0" two more times, it actually took longer...although if you typed 1e3, those characters are pretty close on the keyboard, so it might be quicker than 1000...

Haha, in fact, e3 would even work! :)

Sometimes the simplest minds are the greatest... no offence no_one_2000.

Hey, that's okay. I complicate stuff all the time. I'm used to it :)

however, e3 would NOT work in the real world. It only works on the calculator because it interprets the "small E" as "10^" with implied multiplication if there is a number in front of it. In the real world, there would have to be a 1 in front of it...it's just standards...

Actually, it's funny that you should mention that, because my locker number at school is 337, and a while ago, I got a permanent marker and wrote a one before the 337. Now my locker is 1337 ;-)

And how many people in your school get the point of that? (You're not gonna tell me there are 42 people who think it funny, are you? :D)

lol! i wish i had a locker... but i dont...

Okay, I feel like I'm outside an inside joke.

Never mind. I have been enlighted.

Someone enlighten me please.

ever heard of Leet Speak? It's typing with numbers of other characters rather than letters...for example, "cat" might be "c47" because "47" almost looks like "AT" if you have an imagination..."1337" would be: "lEET"...or "Leet" for Leet Speak...it's the "hacker's number." 50, h4v3 1 3n1i9h73n3d y0u?
