Hey everyone,
It's been over two and a half years since I launched COGNOiSe, and nearly a year since passing on the baton to my good friends Darek, Andrew and Neil. I have periodically popped in to check the stats page (http://www.cognoise.com/community/index.php?action=stats) (my old favourite) and marvelled at how the BSP team have grown and nurtured the community.
It's also great to see ReportNet Addict, MFGF, bdybldr, cognosfreelancer, mrcool and Bluey (the guys I cajoled into playing a senior roles as mods) continuing on their great work and passing on their hard-won knowledge.
As for myself, I took a COGNOiSe and COGNOS sabbatical and have only recently returned to the fold for a local financial services firm (based in Perth, Australia) looking to launch a COGNOS reporting solution within a Six Sigma framework. Already I have discovered my COGNOS8 knowledge is sadly floundering (and Query Studio might as well have been written in ADABAS).
Anyway, there's only one COGNOS user forum I trust...:)
P.S. if there's anyone based in Perth who would like to catch-up for a coffee in the CBD please drop me a reply here.
Hi baselinej,
Welcome back... I'd love to have a coffee with you, but you would have to send me a ticket.... Those financial service companies, don't they make big money?? Can't you send a ticket and say it's for Cognos Support in order to get familair with Query Studio?? I'd love to teach you....
With regards & best wishes!!

Hey RA,
I'd much rather be in Rotterdam downing something cold from the Stadsbrouwerij De Pelgrim and catching the Eredivisie :P
Jon
Welcome back, old friend. How is the weather down under?
Well... let's trade places then :D
Hey Darek,
Bloody hot mate - over the century mark a few times over new years. (can you imagine xmas down the beach?)

Hi Jon,
It's great to see you on these forums again. Now where did I put that fatted calf... :-)
Over 100 degrees for Christmas eh? Phew, glad I'm in cold, foggy rainy England instead of having to endure that! (not!!!) ;D
Welcome back!
MF.
Hey MF,
I don't know - I can imagine myself nestling up to a Newcastle Brown in a pub I used to go to near Covent Gdn (I forget the name) and watching the Addicks get back into the Premier league :)
Great to see you are still here mate - you could well be the longest-serving member here!
Jon
Newcastle Brown fan eh? I knew there must be some outside the Tyneside area who drink the stuff, but I never knew the popularity stretched as far as "Down Under"...
Am I really the longest serving member? I think probably "Bluey" Edis and a few others have been around since before my time, but I do probably qualify for "grumpiest sad old man" member status. :) The thing is, it's all your fault. You were the one who encouraged me... <cue angry chorus of shouts from the other forum members now they know who's to blame for initiating the endless drivel from MF on these forums>
