Incidentally, why do you go by the name "orufet" Jacob?


"I have a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel!" - Edmund Blackadder

Very interesting question! I've been here since March wondering if anyone would ever ask.....! Well, here's the story:

I was going to write a science fiction story for fun (never got started, just made the plot, wrote a couple of scenes, nothing much), and I wanted unique names....

I took a friends name ("Robert", as well as others, which I created other names with...). I rearranged the letters, took some out, put some in, and came up with "Orufet". Of course, soon, I will make a VB program to do this for me, but I'm not sure if a computer can make as good as a name as a person (not saying "orufet" is all that great or anything). So, I used this name for EVERYTHING on the internet which I didn't want to use my real name for (my first website was orufet.9ug.com....then 9ug got hacked and I think it's gone now...my first e-mail address was orufet@hotmail.com...if you send an e-mail there, I will reply http://www.visualbasicforum.com/bbs/images/icons/smile.gif)....

Well, that's about it....if you want anymore names, I can look up the list, it's buried somewhere deep in my hard drive....

I don’t like signed posts, why? We are so used to them that we ignore the last line of the post.

Which so far gives us an average of about 27.

Which happens to be exactly as old as me, so the average doesn't change...


There is no such thing as destiny- instead we have a choice in perspective and attitude.

Just for the record, Mill is 30... I've crossed the thresh-hold.

This thread is ancient...I'm not sure why it was dug up but since it's harmless, and since I never replied to it, I'll add that:

I'm 36.

I'd add that one thing that has always impressed me here at the forums is the ambition and ability of some of our younger members.

I will be 32 very soon. I was VERY creeped out that this thread started on 9-11-01

I am 15 and it is amazing how a lot of the people on here are quite young. Not that being young is good or anything, because I can't even get into E3 or the GDC until I am 18.

Heh Dennis. Good one. Anyways, you might as well add three to everyone, cause it's so old. Like Squirm, that old fart, he's 20 now. Before you get mad at me, I'm 00001111, but in July I turn 00010000.

Mike,


Before you get mad at me, I'm 00001111, but in July I turn 00010000.

Eek... Excel. But sure, that's a long ways off. It'd be Excel 2036 or something like that (or Excel YZ or something)...

I'm about 3.5 dog years. :p

Two years ago I was the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

For those out there who have not discovered the pleasures of reading Douglas Adams books, that means I'm now 44.

I'm 14 (nearly 15) :)

25 years younger here....

Just turned 64.

24 and looking like a 20 yr old, I get that from everyone...

How about that! Half my age, on the dot.

Ah, what the heck.

Physically, I'm 36. Mentally, I'm 00100b.

so you're 48 looking like 40?

Exactly... (EVERYONE says so!) :p

I've been 29 ever since March 2, 1980. I don't trust new math. ;)

so that makes you 53 by so-called 'new math'.

turned 16 yesterday :)

Happy birthday tooooooooooooo yoooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu
Haaapyyyyyy biiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrtttttttthhhhhh daaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooyooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuu

so that makes you 53 by so-called 'new math'.
No fair!

I'm 17
18 on July 24

I see a pattern here, many of the best programmers are young... really young...

Well, I don't think you can ever be too young to start programming! But how are you judging which programmers are the 'best'?

i'm turning 25 in a little over a month, but with the stress caused by managers and an owner that don't know what they're doing, it feels like i'm 40.

Has anyone else noticed how many people seem to be having birthdays soon or have only just had them?

It must be a computer-virus that is triggered each year during this period :D

lol, insinuating that we all live in our computers :D

Best programmers are the young? Pfft. Look at reboot. He's older than dirt (either that or fire, I forget which...) Anyways - my birthday isn't that soon, it's July 24. And it's wierd... Sometimes mistake me for someone who is 18-19, or 13-14. They never get it right on the first try. Meh. (But it has nothing to do with maturity level... ;) ;) )

U havent told ur age dear

Sounds like Mr. Boot and I have a lot in common.
We have nose hairs older than most of you.

Now where did I put my teeth?

21 here, just goes to show that people really are starting to program (well!) at a young age. I sometimes feel I started a little late but some of the slightly older programmers seem to really know their stuff due to experience with older systems and therefore needed to know their subject a little more intimately so i suppose it doesnt matter when you start providing your willing to put the effort in.

My first computer had this keen little door in the back where you poured in nuggets of coal. You should have heard the neighbors dog howl when you blew the whistle. Ahhhh da good ole days. ;)

WOW! AT least MY first computer was hand-cranked!!!!

No, REALLY! My first computer was a VIC-20 - I didn't have the money for a tapedrive so I had to hand type in programs everytime I cycled the power. Of course, usually the program that got typed in was my quasi-symbolic line assembler/disassembler program (written in BASIC).

Ah, to have had toggle switches on the front panel! :)

Apologies for diverging from the thread topic....bad programmer, bad programmer.

30, though I can never quite remember how that happened.
the 20's just flew past

hehe 18 here ( And feeling a hella lot older :p )

Count them:

Let's test you all. I am all of the below. How old am I? (not fair if you looked in the other thread! :P) :huh:

29
41
51

I know the answer. And I managed to work it out all by myself, which is bizzare.

Umm... "all of the below"... let's see... that's 29+41+51=121! Whoa!

You are also 221.

I recently read a "Can you top this?" age discussion on another forum. One fellow gave an eyewitness account of the invention of dirt, another talkled of the Earth in its pre-dirt stage (i.e., before there was sufficient organic material), and yet another swore he could still remember having heard The Big Bang outside his bedroom window one morning long ago.

I remember when beer was in tin cans (similar to a soup can). Of course I was too young to drink it at that age. :) And then... I heard this "big bang". :whoops:

Uhmm.. not exactly. I am all of them individually, not summed together. Still don't know?

I am 21 going on 22. BTW, age is just a number. Right, guys? :):)

Not one day older than I look in my avatar. ;)

Take your pick. :)

Wow! An eye-witness of the BB should once for all end the discussion of how this universum was created :D

I only recall when I was young I had a T-Rex as a house-pet :)

What was your T-Rex's name? :)

Uhmm.. not exactly. I am all of them individually, not summed together. Still don't know?
Well, I'll stick with my assertion that you are also 221. I base my statement on the numbers you already provided as well as the fact that 221 would be item four in the list! :chuckle:

Who counts in base 4? ;)

Who counts in base 4? ;)
Well not necessarily counting, but you might recall certain infamous Pentium FDIV bug - said instruction uses a Radix 4 SRT Division algorithm for floating point divisions.

22 here

What was your T-Rex's name? :)

XL :D

was he named after you or are you named after him?:D

I´m too old to remember :D

My 201st dog has the name XL - in case I forget my name ;)

So pet names was like some pre-historic form of post-it-notes - just instead of writing on a little bit of paper with a sticky strip, you named your pets after the information that you wanted to remember.:) Perhaps Microsoft named Excel after you as well - seeing as you are the oldest human on earth and they thought they would pay you a tribute in so doing, except because the program is based around cells of data, they added a 'cel' in to the middle of it as well. :D

Well, to be honest XL is my only cellmate nowdays :D

BTW, I helped William Shakespear with his first formula:

In this forum ... a year, and I'm 21 years old, but in july i get the 22

25 for the moment.

But I only got to know VB last year. Else it would have been a hobby of mine ages earlier!

I'm not as old as dirt, but I did help with the beta testing.

And alpha testing, and acceptance testing, and system testing, and unit testing, and function testing, and development, and design, and system requirements gathering, and feasibility study. Heck, just face it reboot. You've been there since the inception of that project, and that would make you "Old As Dirt". :)

Fine. But that means that Bob, MathImagics and Thinker would all, by definition, have to be "older than dirt". ;)

In fact, I think I remember Thinker once admitting to inventing dirt.

Dirt may well outlast Windows.

Yeah, I could see that.

Well, read it some where:

God and man had argument. Man said, we dont need u to create life.
GOd replied: Son, lets have a contest.
I will create life as i did with adam and eve.
He picked up dust...
man did same. God said:Son,use ur own dust.

i know the story is sheepish. just.tells.that.god.has.a.role.everywhere.

What was your T-Rex's name? :)
My T-Rex's name was Fluffy. I remember him lolling on my feet the moment I came from the house of my best friend - Fred Flintstone.

40 this year... physically.

Mentally? I'm flexable.. ;)

Did that place you as head conception designer for fire? Or just patent-filer? :chuckle:

I am over 50.

I'm 19

I'm 23 right now, but I expect that will change. Nothing seems to stay the same these days.

I'll be 20 until after graduation, and then, hmm, I think I'll turn 13 afterwards. :p

36, soon 37, feel and act like 25 (just did some BMX stunt riding today so...) :)
And i don't mind to get older and get gray hairs...
Ha, ha i feel GREAT
