i want to see happygeek on TV :'( ..

Check out th Channel 4 News website as they have the full news broadcast streamed online. I don't think it goes out live, but will be available from 8pm GMT after the TV airing has finished I would imagine. The website will also carry a news story based upon the DaniWeb investigation.

So you will get to be scared by the big ugly tattooed brute that is happygeek :)

Hey, how come you get to be the center of attraction everytime? ;-)

Congratulations Davey. *thumbs up*

Hey, at least you will be able to see my tattoo work at last :)

wow that was an amazing article. great job

+2 kudos

Thanks. I am pleased with it, especially as it looks like getting the national/international exposure it deserves. When governments screw up this badly they need to be kicked very hard and very openly in my opinion.

Awesome, I missed channel four today, what time and channel are you on tomorrow!

It didn't air today as they wanted to do some more filming with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK, VFS Global in India and myself.

It will now be the lead story on Channel 4 News tomorrow at 7pm, unless a better story comes along in which case it will get shoved further down the list but will still be a bug featured story anyway. I hope...

There is a web broadcast on the Channel 4 news website as linked to in the original post here. They show the full news bulletin, and there will no doubt be coverage on the website as well - hopefully with a link to us here at DaniWeb.

The film crew has just left, I had DaniWeb on all my PC screens during the interview :)

I've been on TV enough in the past and have a high enough profile not to be too worried. Most people will type in www.happygeek.com anyway :)

Scrap that, they want to make it a bigger story and are running with it tomorrow night now as by the time the interview was recorded and edited they couldn't do it justice otherwise.

So watch for me tomorrow instead :)

Anyone who is curious as to what happygeek really looks like can see the real me, tattoos and all, on Channel 4 News in the UK tonight, starting at 7pm.

They are interviewing me about the breaking news story which was posted exclusively here on DaniWeb yesterday.

For those outside of the UK, the broadcast should be available at the Channel 4 News website later.

Tell your friends, or perhaps warn them to keep the TV off...

A hoax is designed to fool people, we have all fallen for the things at one time or another so don't feel too bad about it. At least by starting this thread you have helped to spread the word that it is a hoax to a wider audience that might not have known before.

I'm really just about to quit Daniweb altogether. I'm sure all of you will be happy if I did that.

Please don't do that, I want you to stay and value your being here. Others obviously feel the same, looking at the comments here.

Let's all just take a deep breath and calm down a little. Life is too short :)

According to the UK newspapers this morning, police have searched a house 150 yards from where she was taken, and arrested three people...

No sign of the little girl, but I fear it is way too late to save her :(

Welcome to DaniWeb.

Welcome to Daniweb, MiniGWeek. Glad you have found us to be so useful already, as you have discovered we really are one heck of a helpful (not so little) community.

Yo Joe, welcome to DaniWeb.

Hi Ugur, welcome to DaniWeb and don't worry about your English as we appreciate it is not the first language for everyone.

Welcome to DaniWeb. I was in Bangalore on business just before Xmas, a fascinating and fast developing place.

Hi Kahlia, welcome to DaniWeb. You are wrong on one thing though, I am me, you are you. :)

Welcome to DaniWeb.

Hi Sarah, a very warm welcome to DaniWeb for you as well!

Nice one Dani.

Bizarre. Which browser is this in? Working fine here in FF2

Although I am still not really sure what you are trying to say, welcome to DaniWeb anyway :)

Hi Mara, from one long time journalist (16 years, freelance) to another - welcome to DaniWeb.

Fierce warriors with Kermit's PASSPORT quit improving their blaming abilities while attempting to bless miss beautiful.

Tonight, I celebrate my love for you - Peabo Bryson

You get bored to tears and resentful of Hollywood.

tube -> train

Oh, and it rains. A lot!

We are not a bad bunch, even if we can seem like moody old folk sometimes ;)

The big company would not happen to be Symantec would it? If so, great bunch of folk and nice offices in Dublin as well.

I don't live in Dublin but have visited often. Great social environment, good cafes/bars and excellent beer if you like the whole Guinness type stout thing.

MidiMagic is right you know, it does toggle the FireFox spoil chicken on and off...

Hi Pete from WaggaWagga, welcome to DaniDaniWebWeb.

London -> pride

You get a book on feline anatomy.

I put in a large dog.

clock -> watching

You get a heated thread about how it works.

I put in a broken clock.

problems -> opportunities

Hi Dave, welcome to DaniWeb from an oldish timer who still thinks he is 21 although he is actually twice that...

diamonds -> Lucy

You get punched in the face by a drunken passenger.

I put in a raw steak and my sympathy.

You get a game of billiards.

I put in a Little Britain DVD.

Feature.

It's to help differentiate between sectons of DaniWeb. Google News, Slashdot, MSN and others employ a similar design trick.

I like the colour idea, although I'm not sure it will help people know where they are as much as not in the same place as they move around.

Can't see how it makes us any less professional in look and feel in any way, shape or form it has to be said.

Hehe, check out the Water Cooler it's gone red :)

Let's not turn this into another potential flame war chaps.

It has something to do with The Dude as the comments that got joshSCH infracted were posted in a thread he started, and were about Jackson.

So he is right in saying that it had nothing to do with either religion or politics - it had everything to do with bad taste and a questionable attitude.

As for banning religion or politics, well the Geek's Lounge is the place where these things can be discussed as long as they do not develop into anything that breaks any of the rules. If they do, then the postings and poster will be dealt with accordingly.

Start talking about either anywhere else on DaniWeb and I imagine the full weight of a moderatorial boot will quickly be felt upon a virtual backside. ;)

Can you please post your questions in full English, rather than txt shorthand, as per the rules. It makes it easier for everyone, not least those for whom English is not a first language, to understand.

As a side-effect, you will probably also get more answers to your query.

There are two possible outcomes: it works as intended and the reputation system become a much more useful measure than it was before, or you get people involved in a 'rep war' for want of better term. I would like to think that the vast majority of DaniWeb members are mature enough to avoid the latter whilst appreciating the former.
