Happy Anniversary to me?

I can't remember when I joined the E14 community - maybe there is a way to look it up?

I've wondered about this data from my profile page

I know that E14 started back in 2009, but don't recall doing much back in 2013. I started getting more active doing projects on E14 and Hackster in 2017 after I retired.

Not sure if there was data lost during the website platform transitions but I don't see anything that I did before 2017.

From my homepage I see that I've only done a handful of reviews and a lot of blogs:

The first roadtest that I see is from 2017:

So, is this my anniversary of something?? In any case it has been and still is a rewarding experience .

Congratulations on your anniversary or something!

The dates do seem to be getting confused. In looking at my stats, it claims that I have been a RoadTester since Aug 10 2013, which is strange, as I completed my first RoadTest on Dec 12 2018.

Whatever that numbers say, it is clear that you have been a very productive member of this site for quite a while. Well done!

ralphjy I don't think that you can trust that date. My profile says that I've been a roadtester since 15 April 2023. Well... my first Roadtest was Picolog Data Logger in April of 2020. I can find a post dating back to August of 2019 - when I also started getting active in the Community.

Happy Anniversary anyway!

I made a mistake in the previous reply. My listed "RoadTester since" date should have been Aug. 10 2023, not 2013. This better reflects the degree of confusion, where my first actual roadtest occurred almost 5 years prior to the "since" date (more like kmikemoo )

I can't remember when I first started on element14. Looking back, my first blog date was 2017 (Nov 28). but I lurked about a while before I posted anything.

My (incorrect) "RoadTester Since" date is 21 Feb 2023. This must have something to do with when Verint was adopted since I didn't even do a review on that date.

To find that my first road test was actually 20 Dec 2014 I clicked on my reviews total and scrolled through the reviews to the first one.

I did the same thing with Blogs which indicated my first blog was 15 Dec 2013, which isn't quite right - that was the third blog in my first project. Links to my first blogs are broken.

I had also been lurking for a few months before posting anything. I wasn't very active for the first few years.

What is the gift for 21 years at an electronic site? Solder.
