The Last Post...

[Karlos]

So long, Frank.

Plenty of peoples on this planet don't have access to the Internet and they are doing just fine, and I'm not talking about 3rd world country either. The internet is a luxury not a necessary component to life.

It may not be a necessity, but it is a class A drug...

[Karlos]

and i dont understand all of this "ye awe dinne dklsdflskhd"...

Its a show, joke or something?

No, it's native Glaswegian rendered in latin script.

I guess we've just given up on the concept of using the Coffee House for non Amiga-related topics.  Kinda makes it moot I suppose.

Actually, I left this thread where it was for a while so that it would get some visibility, what with all the questions regarding Franko's decision to leave.

Now, it is time to move it to CH/General...

[Karlos]

Just to add, the rumours that I bribed Franko with a sizeable quantity of Buckfast Abbey and Tunnock's Tea Cakes in order to protect my top poster position are entirely without foundation...

:lol:

[Karlos]

Yeah, his "post velocity"* was unbelievable. Higher even than Speel's when he first appeared.

*lol, agile posting?

[Karlos]

N/T where T is time between first and last post made will suffice as a metric for now

[Karlos]

That complexity is actually present in N/T, just for a smaller interval of T. Taken to the limit, then, what you actually need to do is graph the rate of change of post velocity, ie, post acceleration, over time. A simplification of which is just to show posts per day (or other unit T) for all the full time they were active...

@Karlos
You're rather incredibly clever.

LOL! Flattery will get you everywhere...

Let's hope the guys interviewing me tomorrow think so

[Karlos]

Everywhere?


Ahhh, so the barking dog didn't muck up the telephone interview then?

Nope, but the interview tomorrow is for a different company anyway. I'm told I made the shortlist for the other one but I haven't been given a date for a face-to-face interview yet.

[Karlos]

I dont care about local languages, the part "show or joke" is for the situation generated all this time.

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean... The irony in this statement has not escaped my attention.
