Render a 3D skull from 2D images

Did I pass the audition? I didn't even study.

You forgot to answer question 6, but that's okay, it was extra credit. Actually, the bonus question should have been,"Why does bplus use a picture of his mom for his avatar? " Oh well, nice bio. We have a lot of older coders here, many from the QBasic period, which I believe followed the Jurassic one.

The IBM mainframe work took me back. I had a good friend, Mac, who contrary to his name, worked for IBM. He owned the QBasic Forum, on Network54, (now defunct, oh, the hosting company, the forum still lives.) I have another friend from that forum, TheBOB, who is a retired graphics artist. As for me, I stick to SCREEN 0, literally. I'm 20 pixels down and 7 to the right as we speak. I'm mean really, it's the only screen resolution any real programmer would ever need. Perfect for making business apps, which is what I mostly do; although interestingly enough, I learned BASIC by programming games. I coded Wheel of Fortune, Password, Monopoly, and Card Sharps while in college. My first computers were a 4K T.I. 99-4a , followed by 16K Atari. I got a real PC in 1990 and switched to QBasic, to make my own office software.

Well besides comedy, we appear to be the same when it comes to games and gaming. While I wouldn't mind programming one again, I'd probably never play it. Other than that, I like long walks on the beach... Well, let's not go there.

Yep, Timex Sinclair, Texas Instruments, Atari and all those from that time period. my second computer job in Vegas ('84) was as a salesmen selling the new AT&T PC 6300 was in fact an Olivetti M24 sold under the ATT brand. They introduced GWbasic with that model which I programmed in for a good while. (POS)
so, how long have you and B+ been married? he seems to complete you...

[OldsCool]

bplus, yes to your question above and I seem to be more of a proof of concept person, once I find the main solutions to a project I tend to take what I learned and move on to the the next project . I guess it's the actual problem solving more than the final product that drives me. nice meeting you guys, and yes, even Pete. :)

I started programming when 48k was a lot of memory  TRS model 4

I was so taken by the floppy it had the ability to STORE  data!!

The TRS 80 had a built in hex editor and came with zilog chips which Intel had to compete with . I think that is why Intel came up with the 8086 to beat Zilog.

Mark, bplus, and I split up some years back, when I caught him cheating on me with Alexa. He said he set it on vibrate, so it wouldn't wake me up in the morning, but I knew what was really going on.

NOVARSEG, same here, after saving code and data to a cassette for so long the 5 1/4" was a game changer, I  used 8" floppy's on IBM mainframe systems which I thought were a bit silly.

I always thought Pete married to Clippy the way he talked about him.

Sure, try any excuse to get out of the alimony! Alexaaaaaahhhh.
