I'm working with a friend on a text based bulletin board system written in C# that uses SSH rather than Telnet or a modem and supports many of the features of an early 90's -ish DOS based Dial-up BBS. ... I and a few of my friends miss the

That's a good one. My wife usually cooks our dinners for the week on Sunday all at once and freezes some of it. Mon/Tue we eat left-overs, Wed/Thu/Fri we eat what was frozen (and to keep from eating the same thing over and over, we mix up

Set time aside to watch it twice. It's only 77 minutes long, and I believe that's a plus. I saw this for the first time with a few friends and when it was over, nobody protested when I started it over immediately. I've watched this movie

Seriously, though, you have to admit they thought of quite a bit more than just an entrenching tool . . . I mean, they at least deserve credit for offering it in "funny shade of orange" and fluorescent yellow. Though I did think the part wh

It's a tricky problem as a participant and it depends on the individual who's dragging the topic on. I find this problem to be more the fault of the facilitator than the participant. There's always an opportunity to say "I understand you

Um, that IS my To-Do List That's precisely what I thought. I have three To Do lists: 1) The Honey Do list of things my wife needs me to do around the house. 2) My "Routine Maintenance" list that includes things like, ensuring I'm up on my

I have hired a lot of contractors over the years, and I must say that if one of them pitched this to me I would likely walk away. I thought this at first, as well. However, after reading the advice about only using "long-time customers"

Also completely unscientific: If I saw a kid out in front of his grandmother's house in the summer wearing a suit selling lemon-aid, I'd purchase it and probably add a tip: - It's the middle of summer [1] and the kid is serious enough that

For once a YouTube comment made me laugh rather than wish I had a YouTube comment blocker. "You remind me of Michael Scott" This really did sort of feel like one of the videos created by The Office writers for everyone's favorite manager.

Fantastic idea, though I noted that the author said "I work the same schedule every weekday and I rarely meet with people." , which is something I can't relate to. I meet with a lot of people, regularly. From my perspective: - Last week i

Agreed. It's this sort of pollution that made me stop visiting Digg and Reddit. One of these days I'll, perhaps, understand the fascination people have with attacking this woman. Frankly I don't care if it's a positive or negative story.

I take medication for Parasomnia (sleep walking/talking/eating/doing) and I have done a few over-night sleep studies. I know my quality of sleep is very poor, but I've chosen to just "sleep more" rather than take a cocktail of medications.

If you've ever been able to think of a time or a place that you've said "I really wish I had a goto here!", it might be time for a rewrite or a new job. Though, admittedly, I don't think I've ever looked at a piece of code I've written that

Assuming pay wasn't a factor in the decision, I'd be a door man for a hotel that caters to vacationers (and not in a major city like New York). - My back hurt less and I was generally in better shape when I had a job that involved standing
