They are years and years out of date. So back in 53 when I first started on these forums and had a low post count of like 10. I posted stuff onto CheifWeasels site to be shared as that was the ONLY site at the time. Later as things progressed we kept only non-OGL content on Cheifweasels site with all the other OGL stuff on the d20pfsrd repository. As of now we simply use the shadowsoftware.net servers to give out the Packs for Pathfinder and d20. A few things are still left that are misc on d20pfsrd but I think even their days are numbered.
So honestly anything left on Cheifweasel's site is most likely so far out of date that they should be removed. This is for the Pathfinder and d20 stuff.
I appreciate everything Cheifweasel did for the community but we have simply just grown in a different direction sense then.

I am DAMN GOOD! But really that would be about 10 years before the internet as ARPANET came around in the late 60s??
LOL I picked up the back in 53' statement from a British programmer I worked with years ago.

Yeah I just realized that. Maybe we can get Liz to erase these posts before anyone notices.

Don't feel bad, guys. I actually worked in the defense industry for the first half of the 80s. So DARPANET (the people I worked with back then always included the D when referring to it) was very real for me.
Think of it as a badge of honor instead of a new form of carbon-dating. It's a lot easier on the brain.

Oh yikes I had forgotten about that until you just mentioned it. See and the first thing to go with age is Memory. Thanks Rob!
That is a good way of looking at. Always looking on the bright side, hey Rob...Think of it as a badge of honor instead of a new form of carbon-dating. It's a lot easier on the brain.
Some of the programmers I work with have been around a "long" time. And several times they have gotten into stories about actually using Punch Cards and programming. Especially stories about "dropping" them and getting them all mixed. Luckily I have nothing to contribute to that story. But I expect the day will come when I will be talking about using a "Keyboard" and mouse to enter code and some young whipper snapper will be looking at me like a fossil..

I've found it starts leaking in 8Kb increments. I'm just dreading Moore's Law. If it applies to age and memory, then I'll be up to 16Kb next year and leaking Gigabytes much sooner than I'd like.
My fingers are crossed that Moore's Law doesn't apply to wetware - only hardware...
Sure beats the alternative IMHO.
Been there, done that.
So are you implying that I'm ALREADY a fossil?
Just kidding!
P.S. I snipped your smileys because the forum is limiting me to 4 total, and yours also counted against the limit. I figured mine were more important since I already knew YOU were just joking around.

I'll remove the files from my site. That should help things a lot.
As for aging myself with computers, I remember hacking into a GE computer back in the 70s to play the old text game Dungeon. I started in computers we still had punch cards for our contracts. A word of advice, never, ever drop a tray of Hollerith cards.

Eh, ya all got me beat. I didn't get my first modem until somewhere around 1992 (2400 baud FTW). Due to location I couldn't even dial a BBS because they were all long distance calls. I had to use AOL 1.0 for Windows 3.1 and/or CompuServ 1.0 ... can't remember which was first but we went back and forth a couple times.
No one told me I could program computers anything beyond HTML at the time so I didn't even think about getting into it until college ... sadly college did not help actually giving strategies to learn stuff. It was all mostly "copy this from the book". When you asked "Why?", because that's what the book says you should do ... :-/
The professors I got the most out of were the ones that could answer the question of "Why should we always 'using namespace std;' in C++?" With my preferred answer of "You shouldn't, and those that use it for EVERYTHING are just lazy." I could have good conversations with them; the rest were all just book zombies.
