    Dominic Sims Named Chief Executive Officer of the International Code Council.

    RJJ, I know you weren't doing that actually, I was just joking with you. I was looking for a smiley face thingy to use, and saw the horse one. Thought it was hilarious, and implemented it for an attempt at some comic relief.

    Dominic Sims Named Chief Executive Officer of the International Code Council.

    I don't think accountability rests just on your shoulders, Jim. The Board should be held accountable for choices made of this nature and magnitude. Unless, you somehow have completely hijacked the BOD and now call all the shots :P Joking aside, it will be interesting to see what progress can...

    Dominic Sims Named Chief Executive Officer of the International Code Council.

    I feel like you are just itching to say a comment. Or are you going to say, "No comment," again? :beatdhrs

    Jar546, If you click the link, and read the news release, your questions should be answered. :D That would be my guess though.

    ICC's new code forum announced

    Glad to see that the news has spread to here, and hope to see as many of you at least trying out the Forum, at least once. I understand otherwise, and it has been too long since I have posted on here. I will probably be bouncing back and forth a bit, but still, thanks to all those on here who...

    Brudgers, I am glad the offer still stands but we are going another route. However, if you would like to be part of of the progression of this project in other ways, feel free to PM. Or you can just look at the OP and find my contact info there. Cheers. V767

    International Green Construction Code

    Hey everyone, adding a little something into this hoping it helps clear some point up. IGCC Public Versions are resource tools for jurisdictions considering adoption or amendment of regulations for green and high-performance construction. The IGCC applies to new and existing, traditional and...

    Update-ish

    First of all, my opinions on my own material have nothing to do with what I do for a living, a job, sir. I thank you for you pointing these things in an attempt to degrade what I do for a living and my overall character. Please feel free to not attempt to do that again. Likewise, I am told to...

    Update-ish

    Hey Guys, Long time not talk. Sorry but things (sounds like an excuse, but really it isn't, or maybe it is...anyway) have been quite hectic around here with Conference, post-Conference and then I was at Greenbuild last month too. Now, the holidays are upon us and we are all pushing hard to try...

    Anyone tried to view the ICC hearings?

    The freeze ups had little to with ICC and more with how bad the connection was at the Charlotte Convention Center. This issue was addressed, but I am not sure how resolved it ever became during the Hearings. Here are the Final Action Hearing Results, and this is the final version too. V767

    ICC announces new Code Forum!

    Why would I cry my pants? Or did you mean crap? I am trying to figure that one out. I liked this though. It was funny. I mean I more laughed than cried, or crapped, or whichever. V767

    Oklahoma Earthquake

    I may be wrong, but I remember that area of the U.S. to have quite a few focal points of plate movement, hence the Rockies not being that far from the region, relatively of course. Back in my home town, the city was close to an actual fault line, a small one at that, but when you see a map of...

    Definitely, maybe. But not really. It is more than that. I think.
