It’s been almost a year since my last post. No news on the Experts Exchange. Both of my parents died in the last 8 days. They were born 6 days apart almost 91 years ago. I haven’t been close to them since the 1960’s so I don’t feel anything more than odd at this point.

And I forget to post anything.  It’s up here as a demo anyway. The latest news on Experts Exchange is that I’m up to #22 and I don’t care because I’m getting bored.  The changes that have been made are bringing in stupider and stupider questions from people who aren’t smart enough to understand the […]

I finally got my site here upgraded to PHP 5.5.  Everything appears to going fine including this blogg.  I’m also up to #23 All Time on Experts Exchange.  The ‘upward climb’ in points is getting pretty steep now.  I have 13.4 million points and the #1 expert has over 40.6 million points.  It took me […]

Yep, this is my post for 2015.  I’m up to #30 on the Experts Exchange All Time list.  I’m happy about that.  I keep slowly moving up.  A number of the people above me have stopped ‘playing’ so I will eventually pass them.  But the number of points between us at this level is pretty […]

I have moved to 38th All Time in Experts Exchange And… I have a Savant certification because I now have more than 10 million points.  !!  Hurray for me. I still enjoy answering questions but I’m not nearly as anxious about getting points any more.  I am after all ahead of about 200,000 other people […]

I’ve made it up to #40 in the Experts-Exchange All Time list and I’ve got ‘certs’ in 83 Topic Areas.  I’m in the top 10 in 9 of those areas including #6 in PHP.  So I’m doing alright. I did the full backups of 6 of my computers today.  One of them, the one that […]
