the map is called "donationcoder.com" -
maybe they need to get Wordzilla to do a job on their search engine

Sorry, the same with "donationcoder.com". Both used to work a couple of day ago, though.

Go to http://www.frappr.com/?a=myfrappr&id=5588 and click on Cody

Click "Join" button on the map.

Thanks, I did this three times before and did once more now. I can see my pin and picture in the first place, but I'm not listed neither in Photos, nor in Members. Or can you see me there?

Also, I don't have any "Maps I'm on" in my profile and on "Settings > Invite poeple" I can see only "You must be on this map yourself before inviting others."

I tried using Opera Merlin and IE7. No way.

So this is my first post and OK, currently I am well..., maybe my handle/avatar will give a hint

My first computer was this one:

it was programmed like this:

and if you really want to know more about it, check out The IBM 407 Accounting Machine.

I retired from Big Blue after 30 years.

Hi Laozi and wecome to the site

Those pictures are beautiful -- what a machine

Yes - welcome to the site Old Master Sailor

Guess this thread completely missed me. I am 24, a biomedical engineer currently in Australia. I've lived in about 5 countries till now and traveled to a whole lot more. Software minimalism is an addiction and I tweak the hell out of my PC for speed. In general,

average age of the Software on my computer > average age of Hardware on my computer

I also hate throwing away any computer or electronic circuitry. No matter the condition, I try to fix it up or use the parts, even the screws, wires and ICs. I enjoy building electronic circuits and used to take part in micromouse competitions in the past.

I freelance as a web designer/developer besides my main job. I joined Donationcoder only long after I started reading the site and the posts. I greatly enjoy the function-over-form approach to software here and look forward to finding other communities like this on the web.

I'm sorry to inform you that there is no such thing, when some community starts to have a similar user-base as DC, cody goes there and beats them with a stick!

Welcome to DC, icekin!

Hello everyone! My name is Michel (that's Michael in English), I'm a Frenchman living at this time in France, will be 54 on Halloween (yep, I'm a 10/31 Scorpio!), officially a translator, but I still get to touch broader horizons... I discovered this friendly community of yours (of mine?) via the famous Process Tamer software, which enlightens my processor!

A very big

to all!

Hello tomos, thanks for your "bienvenue", which is perfectly correct

I read many very interesting topics in the Living-room, nice to see more than only computing and technology!

Hi all,

my name is Wolfgang, I am from Germany. I am 41 years old and computers are just a hobby, not my profession.
I have come across this forum, when I searched for tips on programming/scripting: AutoHotKey -> Skrommel -> DonationCoder
My impression is: DC is the friendliest place on the net.
