I will keep an eye on you from a distance, you won't notice, and look out for the Family Days.

I started coding with this:
Sharp EL-5100
and this:
Sinclair
Am I still eligible for new/old OTHG?

I started coding in ALGOL on a Burroughs vacuum tube computer. My "terminal" was an actual Teletype machine.

Aye, we 'ad to code while sitting in a hole in the road, with nowt but a soggy cardboard box for a keyboard.

And you tell the young people today.....and they don't believe you ]:D

The last time I did any coding, I used secret ink on a special paper that you could only read with an infrared light.

@hinto

Last I heard you were 74 in reverse ... how about a Certified Guest?

Can't believe the number of young whipper-snappers that want in.

Infrared light? You were lucky!

We had to rub 2 orphans together hard enough to make a bit of heat, and hold the paper over them.

Orphans?? You 'ad orphans? Bleedin' luxury... In my young day, orphans was on ration. You could only 'av one an' all. Not enough warmth there to keep the ice off yer cocoa substitute...

Ha...
Maybe "wise beyond my years" ?;)
Since we just had an opening that required C++ 11, that negates lots of the young whipper-snappers

Why don't we just say that this section is open to anyone who is old at heart? ]:D

Sector11 · 2015-10-07 15:04:18

^ @damo - I think that's been a given all along, just that some of us old stinkers like to kid the 'young-uns'.

How about a change of rules:
<= 59 - OHBG Junior Members, and
>= 60 - OHBG Senior Members

plemil · 2015-10-07 18:08:00

So I'm back again???

He had to take the kids home because they are only allowed in on Family Days

Sector11 · 2015-10-07 20:45:45

Oh well yea, that's true, what with all the cigar smoke g33zr is generating in the corner.

That is g33zr isn't it? Hard to tell through the haze! ]:D
