You betcha! It contains one of my favorite quotes:

Global warming is an issue on which humankind has come to unanimous agreement with unprecedented speed. The Earth is warming, or else it's cooling

In fact I've just learned the Cboard wiki does still exist:

SourceForge.net: cpwiki

altho the connection to cboard is not immediately apparent. I didn't search for a "C programming wiki", having presumed that if I hadn't seen it, it doesn't exist.

It is somewhat shy on pages, but on the other hand there's a lot more than most people would bother with single-handed, so I don't know if it's fair to call that "a failure". Of course, I think these things probably work a lot better when properly integrated into a larger site (so the wiki is part of, and not the totality).

Mebbe jeff needs to add the "Why use a design pattern" page

Design Patterns - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia LMFAO!

Thanks for that dude, I may have actually found my niche:

ProtoTry

The ProtoTry Pattern is a quick and dirty attempt to develop a working model of software. The original intent is to rewrite the ProtoTry, using lessons learned, but schedules never permit. The ProtoTry is also known as legacy code.

ProtoTry coders of the world unite!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

On the topic of design patterns, I enjoy reading and learning about them, but they don't seem to be good conversation pieces.

Yeah, great cpjust, I am probably now addicted to the Uncyclopedia. In the past half hour I've been getting turned on to its almost as amusing cousin:

Scientist - Conservapedia

Then don't participate. Problem solved. Some of us are interested in new ways of architecting non-trivial systems.

Sorry. The way I see it is that there are a billion important and valid and useful problems to solve in this world where we could devote our efforts, and design patterns is so far down on the list that it should only be taken up in an effort to merely assist (briefly) in solving another much-more-important problem.

That's my 2 cents.

C++ article on Uncyclopedia :-)

"C=C+1 (IPA:/si? 'e.kw?l? si? pl?s wa?n/) is an alleged programming language derived from C by programming language algebra. It is one of the most successful conspiracies hatched/practical jokes ever played on nerds who take ideas like OOP seriously."
