Good pic.
Took me by surprise.
A sign of new things to come? |

Where was that taken? Looks like an historic landmark somewhere that turns chilly.
Dittoing: nice photo. Dave, lookin good! Thanks for sustaining this funny old site. |

The years are doing Dave well. He might be the Sean Connery type.
Nice Pic. |

It blew my mind. I typed in eslcafe.com and then hit the forum link automatically and it slowly dawned on me. "What did I just see!?!" I had to back up and look again. |

My daughter took this photo of me on a recent trip to Paris. Thought I'd change the photo before all my hair turns white. I stared Dave's ESL Cafe when I was 34 and now I'm 54!
Haven't had much time because my dad passed away in 2013 and it's taken 2 years to settle his estate. However .... site re-design coming in 2016! |

Cheers to you Dave!
Sorry to hear about your dad. Mine passed in 2010...tough year.
Looking good for 54. Your daughter has some skills with the camera, or could just be the model. (Quite likely both)
Congratulations on the 20 years of Dave's. I've been using your site for most all of that...greatly appreciated.
Again...cheers to you! |

Truly sorry to hear about your dad.
Excited to see the changes you have planned for site though. |

Sounds interesting! Let's hope it's a re-design that still keeps some of the old-timey BB atmosphere that makes it relaxing to post here. I like the ability to write comments here without thinking about how they will be voted on as is the case with places like Reddit. |

PHP 7 is out!

In an interview with InfoWorld this week, Lerdorf talked about what to expect from the upgrade to the popular server-side scripting language used in Web development. "On most real-world applications, you'll get a 100 percent speedup," he said. "In theory, you could turn off half the servers in your data center [after the upgrade and still have the same performance as was experienced prior to moving to version 7.0.0]." |
