Either a bunch of old farts here  :lol: or everyone started young.

C-64 here also with that wonderful tape drive. I still have the 20 meg IDE drive that cost 250+US, with the card to plug into my Tandy TL2. Now that was cranking, no more floppy's.  :cool:

Well I started when I was 16 and I'm going to be 55 in 2 weeks time. So I'm not old at all (I need to admit I fart a lot though)  :eheh:

I'm not old either  :eheh: I was just poking at you in jest.

I stopped coding when I retired @50 to do some traveling in Asia where I'd never been. That was nineteen years ago. Old is a attitude thing, though some are all burned up by the the time they reach your age, that they so feel "old". I usually don't talk about age much, and this will no doubt be my last mention of it.

I never thought of Wedge as driving a wedge into SMF, actually. To me, it was a cunning play on words; a wedge is a different kind of simple machine to a fulcrum. It's also a more refined simple machine; simpler to use, no moving parts - it just works.
Similar:

Inclined plane (incline, plain)
rAMPED!
Slant
Full Tilt (Full Tilt Boogie Band already taken, classically)
{Lever Brothers is already taken}
Pry
Screw (don't go there)

...perhaps a different simple machine might be considered.

Wheels of progress

I shall continue to be an impossible person as long as those who are now possible remain possible

Of course.
I would take your word for it, as I haven't talked to everybody just yet. :)

It's just that I came up with the name over a year ago, love it, Pete loves it, and basically Wedge is what we do. And will remain so ;)

I get that. If you click on the "grivitinik" you'll find that I quoted a very old post. It was a choice between responding to that post or to write a treatise on the refined distinctions between garlic sausages using different types of garlic and how much garlic to use.

For the sake of all, I think I made the better choice.

Nao likes garlic sausage, though!

(as for me, I can't currently recall trying it, but to be fair, I've spent virtually the entire day sat in front of a Wii playing the Lego games. Numbs the brain somewhat.)

I buy my garlic sausage pre-made. It's cheap and it tastes good.

Garlic sausage. The more you talk about it, the less time you have to eat it.

Doesn't ring any bells? How about "grivitonik"?  :niark: "Grivitation"??  :whistle:

Wanted to jump in somewhere. That looked like a good place. So did the garlic sausage.

Then you have cheated yourself. You don't know what garlic it is you're eating unless you  know how different garlics taste. Major categories: hardneck and softneck. Each cures differently, and they both need to be cured right. Italian Early, Italian Late, Korean Red, Elephant, our native Buffalo... big wide world of oral sensations to be had. It's the unsophisticated palate that says all garlic is just garlic. And the same can be said of onions.

Forget the sausage, then. Best chaser for that is a beer.

And that reminds me...another flavor sensation is German hardneck garlic brat with beer.

Gri's stuff? I don't read his troll shit. You'll have to define these words for me (not that I think it'd be interesting.)

Garlic sausage? It's just sausage you know... Emphasis on sausage.
My fave dishes are Vietnamese caramelized pork with eggs, and French blanquette de veau. Now we're talking.

Ah, that DID ring a bell. :niark: Well, if you're not interested I shall not put work into a Gri Dic. I'll just say I was referring to the part of the quote that links back to the original posting. I actually decoded Gri and happen to take some delight in the fact that I was successful. What he's been going on and on about is essentially trackback and I'm interested in the mods he's come up with in that regard. Nuff said.

After beating my head against various SMF coding walls, I'm certainly interested in your fork here.

I see. Alas, sausage isn't just sausage; there's not much that a German bratwurst has in common with Italian sausage. That's like saying braunschweiger is just as good as pate foie gras. Oh, the sacrilege!  SURELY you can tell the difference between a brat and chorizo! O_O

The problem with Gri is that he insists on using his terminology for things instead of anything else, and if you don't like his ideas, you're doomed to being trolled followed by being ignored, at least that's my take on it.

It might be worth reposting it in a form the rest of us can understand because I remember being intrigued once I got past the first layer of monkeyisms, but that I couldn't really make more sense of it than that. If nothing else, it'll make some sense out of it...
