stackoverflow - 40k rep

Eight months after crossing the 30k milestone, I've now achieved a reputation of 40k on stackoverflow! The following table shows some interesting stats about my journey so far:

As I mentioned before, I have really enjoyed being a member of stackoverflow. For me, it has not simply been a quest for reputation, but more about learning new technologies and picking up advice from other experts on the site. I like to take on challenging questions, rather than the easy ones, because it pushes me to do research into areas I have never looked at before, and I learn so much during the process.

You can probably tell by the number of questions answered, that I haven't spent much time on stackoverflow recently. I've been busy at work and have also been participating in other stackexchange sites like superuser, serverfault and Unix and Linux.

50k, here I come!
