What does DaniWeb mean to me? It means that all of the allnighters I pulled while in college developing her and growing her were more than worthwhile.

How many allnighters and shouldn't you be in bed hmmm?....Justine

A LOT of allnighters (she still does them) and no, it was noon her time when she posted that

Daniweb means to me, lots of phone calls.

Allnighters: this is quite common for those in the industry of IT, specifically programming; why this is would require a dissertation on the sub-culture of "geek, techie, video game junkie, hacker, artist, perfectionist, workaholic". It is not to say we are ALL these things, but there are many coinciding areas we all enjoy.

I have the luxury of working from home with no rat-race schedule to adhere to (also, no uniform, required haircuts, no office politics interaction :rolleyes: to disstract me and waste company time)-- this is a dream-come-true and a blessing. I set my own hours (if I decide to even work at all on a certain day.) There is a "schedule", deadlines for the job to be completed, sure, but the people I work with and the people I work for are like me-- they all work from home from around the world on this 2-year long project and it seems to work out great.

If I stay up until 5 A.M. and sleep until 2 P.M.-- I get 9-hours sleep. :cheesy: It's really all relative.

I hope what it means to me is similar to what it means to everyone else. Daniweb is just a bit of lighthearted fun.

Afterall when I'm lying on my death bed, I won't be remembering the time I have spent at Daniweb. That'd be pretty sad.

Hopefully I'll be remembering stuff from my real life - like those little idiosyncrancies you share with someone you're fond of.

And if I can't remember anything meaningful, hopefully the hot nurse standing by my death bed will give me something better to remember. :p

To me DaniWeb is an emerging community, and watching it grow and bloom is what turns me on...

I'm feeling a bit pathetic right now that I'm the only one who referred to DaniWeb as a "she" ... but I meant it in the "captain and her ship" type of way.

I was just going to comment on that.

To me, Daniweb is a solely a place of learning. It is the only place I mod at, and I guess it just teaches ya stuff about people. Oh, and I can't even relate to how much technical knowledge I've learned just watching threads here.

Oh, and I think it's worth saying that when I found Daniweb early last year, it's what really pushed me into the nerd I am.

What gender do you refer to your bowling alley project as?
