I meant I'll give you a hand looking if you want!
Captain - I think you've been on university challenge...

Hey Chrisp,

Not bad, but you got a few things wrong. Address and phone are all off as I moved to Northern KY about 4 years ago and Cooper Rd. in Blue Ash was the address of a former employer (XOMOX) as was the 513-745-xxxx number. But that was what I was expecting as I have an unlisted number and don't put it on the web anywhere I don't have to. Same with my address, although I am surprised you weren't able to dig up 513-829-xxxx and either Timber Hollow Dr. or Woodtrail Dr. (both in Fairfield) as the two of them were my residences for almost 15 years.

At least it's good to know even the great ChrisPCritters can't get everything about me, despite my consistent use everywhere.

Hey, did you manage to dig up any of my digital art from the IRTC?

I'm sure he can get some more if he wanted :P
Seriously question (and I'm not trying to look clever, this is really easy to find) - how hard is it to be on the "President's List (3.75 GPA or above) or Dean's List (3.25 or above) every quarter." at Southern Ohio College?
(slightly less obvious - you really like chilli don't you?)

Figle, where on Earth did you get that information?

Got bored - some more interesting stuff:
You went to Lakota High School, West chester, OH (graduated 1984). Rest of schooling history available from your classmates site. That would make you 43.
Some rather more tentative stuff, may or may not be true:
Your wife is called Peggy, maiden name Koch, and seems 54 (not sure thats right though).
Also found somewhere I could buy your home phone number & criminal records etc, but don't really want to do that!

Haha, so I'm right yes Dave?

Well considering I actually failed one quarter of COBOL and had to retake it, only to get a D... It was an accredited school and all my credits would transfer to UC or Xavier if I ever chose to go back and finish my Bachelor's.

But back to the grades. I failed COBOL the first time because I was accused of cheating when the reality was someone else copied my program. The "D" was because I was already working as a programmer when they made me retake it for my degree, so I did the bare minimum to pass each test and did no homework (hey, COBOL was a crappy old language headed out the door even in 1988), went into the final exam needing a 95% or better to pass the course and got a perfect score.

As far as the rest, well I aced Psychology and didn't have to take but one of the mathematics courses (I passed the Calculus A/B exam in high school, and the school didn't go above that) and that one they different offer a proficiency exam for. Stupid basic math class that actually started with whole numbers and they wouldn't let anyone test out of it.

I did have a great motivator though. As long as you were on the Dean's or President's list, you could take 20 credit hours for the price of 16 and could take up to 24 total credit hours. If you fell off the list, you were limited to 20 credit hours and had to pay for them all. By staying on, I took a number of my classes for free and ran through the program faster than normal.

But I must ask, did you find and old resume or something? And it would have to be really old because I barely put a blip on my resume about my education anymore. My certifications and experience speak more than that stupid piece of paper ever could about my capabilities. Hell, it's almost an embarassment to say I have an Associate's Degree in Science. I'd just as soon say I'm a Sun Certified Java 2 Programmer, working on my MCSD in C#, and have 25+ years experience developing software.

Yes, my wife is 54. I married and older woman. I was 23 and she was soon to turn 34. Good lord, I swear I typed "didn't" not "different" above and "an" not "and"

Oh, and I do ever so love chili... I cook it and I eat it all winter long.

I swear there are gremlins... "I married AN older woman"

Ah... Found it. My LinkedIn profile lists that exact quote with regards to my education.

Figle, you are correct - and I think that might well be something that Chrisp would have missed, given differing cultures. Which leads me back to my original question, where did you find that out?

I'm confused by which facts are about Dave, and wich about Draugnar.

I'm not American and have never studied in America... hopefully that should be all you need!

Dave is Dave Oakley of London and he's been on university challenge. I'm guessing it's a school versus school knowledge challenge like they have at the high school level her in the states on our PBS stations from time to time.

grrrrrr "here in the States"

So all we know about you so far is you're David Oakley from London, and have been in something called University Challenge?

Droug -1000 for my typing skills today. Doh, I don't have any caffeine this morning!

grrrrrr Draug...

That's all you think you know...

Please, just slow the posting down, that's how you make the mistakes in the first place!

So that'll be -10000 then?

Either way, I'm the most misterious one yet, I don't even have a last name (wich is kinda dumb, I don't think you guys are making an effort).

University level actually - hence the name :P
Yeh, that was it - saw quite a few others that made other statements Draug. Sorry, wasn't paying much attention, i've found just clicking links that look promising (apart from giving me a virus risk!) normally finds information.

Dave - You went to Exeter University and are written about in one of the university news letters, although I found this after, You were also team captain. Found a bit more as well, but not much of it was interesting. Did try to find out what you studied but the university website was playing up.
Just to say, i haven't used anything you couldn't have done yourself.

Xavier Perez - you've told people that on this forum even if there weren't other ways! If I remember rightly you're called Xapi because it covers your names and is a pun on a local pizza restaurant.

University newsletters? Never even knew they existed. I had sort of figured that you must have either used that or maybe something somewhere amongst Granada/the BBCs' websites.
The uni website always seems to play up, which was a never-ending source of frustration when trying to access e-mails. One thing you are wrong about though: I wasn't the captain!

But yes, without any spanish i won't be getting very far and no, i haven't looked. Got to go back to my revision :(

Oh right, that's the university newspaper, Exepose (with a acute on the last e). I believe they had to publish an apology the following week because a) they got the scoreline VERY wrong - we lost but the score was (I think) 160-135 - we only lost by 25 points and we did not disgrace ourselves as the scoreline suggested, and b) because I was not the captain!
