Have you ever met a calculator community member in real life?

@brentmaas and @Cumred_Snektron don't you know each others in real life since long before joining CW, though?

They do. They actually joined because of TheCoder1998

u/Dream of Omnimaga June 24, 2016, 03:41:36 PM

Which reminds me, I always found it ironic that most people who invited real-life friends to Omnimaga/CW left the community almost immediately afterwards, while their friends stayed (eg Lord Coniupiter when he invited you and TheCoder1998 when he invited Cumred/Brentmaas)

I live in Australia, so meeting up with other community members isn't always easy (even though tr1p1ea and I only live 1-1.5hrs drive from each other!)

But I did meet Patrick D back in 2006 when he came to Australia, and again this year as well!

Also last year when I was in the USA, I met Kerm & Elfprince for breakfast, and I also met Merth who came along to see my band playing on tour, which was awesome

Yeah true. In my case I live not too far from USA but I'm very tight on money, so if I save for a trip that pretty much means no longer doing anything for half a year. But I am really considering it.

I've met up with NeoCrisis, Adriweb, Levak, Laurae and PatrickD. (Not including family)

Always interesting to meet up with community members

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 19, 2016, 07:33:20 PM

Ah nice I forgot you met PatrickD. And yeah I agree. I hope to see them again in the future

(although that should not be an issue with juju due to how close he lives)

I've met noelnadal to see the finals of European soccer Chamions League last May :p

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 22, 2016, 01:26:18 AM

Wow nice. Hopefully I can meet some French people at some point. Also I need to go to Montreal at some point to catch a soccer game.

I've met some people from Cemetech at Maker Faire last year. Sadly I probably won't be able to go this year due to college.

u/::CMG (UTOPIA):: July 22, 2016, 06:04:48 PM

No because...

1. I'm "technically" a new member

2. I live on an island, so unless other people on here are on said island my chances of meeting people are limited

Now that I think about it, I don't believe I've met anyone in person on any forum I've ever been apart of (my first forum I ever joined was in 2004)... dunno how I feel about that, lol.

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 22, 2016, 06:19:45 PM

You can include Omni and TIMGUL users I guess, but yeah so far I met two people who made a trip to QC and one who lives nearby. I never traveled further than Ottawa so far, since it's expensive.

On a side note do you live in USA?

I live in the dark blue area

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 22, 2016, 06:40:33 PM

Oh I see lol. It looks like it must not be that hard to get there, though.

If by "must not be that hard to get there" you mean "waiting hours in traffic depending on time and dealing with people that can't drive for c because NY is overpopulated as c", then yes, it's not that hard.

Also our bridges have tolls... have fun with that.
