haha.. interesting trivia..

[cscgal]

Yup, back when I was 14 years old, DaniWeb was about my two puppy dogs. But even then, elements of the person I would become were present ... mixed into the dog site was a server-side search engine, a collection of webmaster tools, and an html tutor.

[joshSCH]

Yeah, I give ya props for having your own domain at the age of 14 ;) You must have been a tech guru from the get-go. But, I'm glad you decided to change the website into what it is today :)

[>shadow<]

yeah I dont think we would all be here if it was still a puppy site :)
And my computer would still have problems :D

[Nichito]

yeah... unless your computer was named spike and you were looking for a toy for it...

i guess it'd still have problems...

Three cheers for dani and her brilliant techie forum.

[Nichito]

cool... i always liked to think of myself as a puppy...

when I was 14 we didn't have a computer, let alone a modem or internet access...

How times have changed, that even kids operate websites ;)

[hollystyles]

No no no, pussies are better by far. I have two: A tabby and one that's Brazilian.I assume we are keeping this clean?

What do you mean?

>>What do you mean?
If you don't know by now you will probably never know :) Which is why I would never ever refer to a cat in mixed company using that word. I got in a lot of trouble while stationed at RAF Miltenhall during the 1970s. I was in a pub talking to a friend. He was backed up to a fireplace warming his butt when I said "Warming your fanny huh?". His face turned all colors of red and he told me what it meant in UK.

Cat? who mentioned cat? I was talking about a fox ... I think ... oh I'm lost now.

I know this is a weird country! Fanny is a perfectly legitimate female name, yet used in any other context it is loaded.

We have come a long way since the 70's. I doubt 'fanny' would create so much fuss now. I remeber even as a student in the early 90's. There were two pubs on opposite sides of the street in Plymouth's Barbican. One called Dirty Dicks and the other called Fanny's! He he :)
Dick also being a legitimate shortening of the male name Richard.
