Hello Breakpoint!

[SteveChandler]

Wow. A lot has changed but what really surprises me is how much is still the same. Hello Breakpoint! Glad to see all my favorite avitars are still around. What's new?

[Hooovahh]

Where'd you go?  

What's new, well XNodes growing in popularily, partially due to the VI Shots that was recently done.  

Super secret LabVIEW features are getting more exposure on LAVA lately.  

2014 has a pretty lackluster feature list, but many are okay with this since it generally means more stability.

New RIO hardware is neat, but I have yet to have an application for it yet.

...I have more but none seem very relavent with the high level "what's new" you're asking for.

Good too see you back, Steve.  I was just thinking recently that we haven't seen you for a while.

Hooovahh gave the big things in the NI world.  If you dig around some more, you can find some more personal things.

I didn't really go anywhere. I just got moved to non-LabVIEW work for the last year but now I get to use it again. Stupid me let his CLD expire beyond the grace period so now I get to start over..

At least your CLD will last for 3 years now, instead of 2!  And there's also the recertification by points program so that you can stay certified just by taking part in certain events.

Well then I will seriously consider re-certifying.  Besides, my Polo is getting kind of worn out looking.

Then its a good thing you get to start over.  CLD-R didn't come with a new polo.  But, a little begging got me one anyhow.

Welcome back

New stuff:

• Lynn is a post away from knighthood
• Tim is now in the top ten all time posters (Knocking me back to 11)
• the Certification board is doing good work

Over all we held it together in your absence but are glad you are with us once more

That's because you still have NI Week on your brain and it is really hard to remember back to March.  Easy to forget.
