[Lea Verou]

Oh, I'm so happy!!!!! :D :D :D :D

[shellspeare]

Congratulations :)

[Lea Verou]

Thanks!!! :D

[tnguy3n]

congrats. you deserve that title.

[Lea Verou]

Thanks a lot tnguy3n!! If you hadn't gave me your permission to release my modified version of your hack I wouldn't have become an Advanced Coder! Thank you!! :D

[tnguy3n]

I love the "Top 10 hated members" feature of your Karma hack. :D
What language is it on your site? Looks pretty strange.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Congratulations Lea.

[Lea Verou]

tnguy3n, the language in my site is greek :) Vietnamese look as strange to me as greek look to you :D

Thanks Marco!

[hiiped]

[ericgtr]

Congratulations, well deserved :)

[Aesma Deva]

Congrats, first of the 2 Greek members on this site, me being the second one :P
How does your ranking thingy change anyway?

[AdminNation]

You deserve it. Personally, I'll be using a hack or two of yours. That said, with reference to your hacks, any plans to port you smf-styled personal text hack? That would be much appreciated.

[MRGTB]

Congratulations, what did you get it for :rolleyes:

[Injektilo]

sigxaritiria... ante kai mia mera na se doume admin sto vb.org :P

[Lea Verou]

Aesma Deva, there are many more than 2 greek members in this site! In fact, even the coders are about 4 ;)
Caleb Posner, AFAIK that hack can be used in 3.5 as is, it does not need porting ;)

[Aesma Deva]

ZOMIGAWD, the web is full of Greeks. I feel better now.
Συγχαρητήρια ξανά, Λία, για να το πούμε και ελληνιστί. ΘΕΛΩ ΚΙ ΕΓΩ ΝΑ ΓΙΝΩ CODER.

[Lea Verou]

Nope, it's not full of greeks. Most greeks are "afraid" of technology as you probably know. But, since there are greek vbulletin forums, there are greeks here, it's inevitable.

Ευχαριστώ και ελληνιστί :p Ξεκίνα να κάνεις releases και θα γίνεις. Πλέον δεν είναι τόσο δύσκολο όσο παλιότερα, με το πρώτο ή δευτερο plugin (αλλά όχι template mod) γίνεσαι, αρκεί να έχει και μερικά installs. ;)

[smacklan]

Congrats! Well deserved for a nice person :)

[Lea Verou]

Thank you smacklan! I'm glad you consider me a nice person :o :D

[Revan]

* Revan gives Lea a membership pass to the Advanced Coders Guild
Don't stare on it for too long, you still have to aspire to attain the Master Coders Guild pass, yknow ;) Yea I heard about the Greek and their technology fear, 384 kbps is like the fastest Inet you can get there without shelling out thousands, so its cool that you overcome your techofobia and got into coding :)
Congrats, hunneh :)

[Lea Verou]

Lol, exactly Revan. We are catching up at a very slow pace :( Today most people can afford a 512, but currently a 1Mbps is too expensive for the average person. Personally I have a 384 at home, and my bf has a 512 (I'm in my bf's house these days and I haven't noticed any difference). Most greeks are on pstn still and web designers (I consider myself more a web designer than a coder, and this is why I never release styles but only hacks. I may sell styles later though :)) have to restrain themselves so that we don't waste bandwidth. It sucks, really :(

[Revan]

*hugs Lea* There there. You could always like move to Norway, Im on 3MBit and that's just cos Im an unemployed student and abit cheap ;)
So go on, cmon up here :D

[Lea Verou]

OMG, 3 Mbits??? How much does that cost??

PS: At my university we have like 8Mbits or even more, but the PCs suck there.

[Brad]

Where I live your options are:

5mbits download / 256kbps upload - cable - $35 - $40 a month
10mbs download / 512kbps upload - cable - $55 - $65 a month
512kbps / 128kbps - dsl - $25 a month

Of course I'm stuck on a dial-up island connecting at 12kbps! :mad:

[EvilHawk]

Well done Lea ! ;)

[Revan]

PS: At my university we have like 8Mbits or even more, but the PCs suck there.$66. Might not sound cheap to you, but thats just because the NOK <=> USD exchange rate is bollocks atm. It's actually pretty cheap when your used to the Norwegian echonomy.

[MRGTB]

I see you've been quite busy with the new cat site Michelle. Looks nice, did you create all the images yourself?

[Lea Verou]

Where I live, a 384 is about 40-50 euros! However the prices are starting to go down, there was an offer at christmas for E100, six months ADSL 384 (I got that one :))

@Gary: A good friend of mine created the "funny" ones, such as the kitties in the menu and the logo. In MS paint!! (I changed them a little in illustrator though) Isn't she talented? :D I created the other ones myself (eg, forum status icons etc). :)

Yeah there good

[Quillz]

Good job.

Disregard that then. :nervous:

oh yeah i remember.... ^^


hmm i pay $50 for 6mbits dl and 512kbits upload dsl here

* Michelle goes to commit suicide :speechless::p

[Marky]

ooo good job :)
I hope to become one.... sometime lol :p
Too much school work and site maintainence to completely consentrate at the moment :p

[Corriewf]

oh yeah i remember.... ^^

Sorry but I doubt you actually get those speeds. You would have to live in the central office to pull that off... At the end of the day, those little copper lines are still the same size no matter how much you pay. :(


Lea you have always been advanced in my book... ;)
Seriously.... This girl can talk some deep stuff.

* I mean "girl" in a nice hawt way dear * :)

[Xenon]

Actually i get those speeds really often.

most of the time the limit is the server but for example when i dl something from my university i nearly have full bandwith all the time

if you live in the big cities it's even possible to get 16mBits/s but those are just a few and not on a regular base yet

Us Yanks are not so lucky. Its funny, you would think as advanced of a "Duper Power" we are, we could get some better lines.


:(

[Paul M]

Well done Michelle. :)

As for connection - mine is 10 Mbps down, 512 Kbps up, ?35 / month.

[Daniel]

Congratulations Michelle! Well deserved (especially for your smiley maker, one of my favorites ;))
