That's good! Apparently shingles on the face can hurt like red hot knitting needles stuck in ur ears... so nice to hear it's prob not that
I'll check...

Ow.

No, it didn't feel like that. Also, tip for new players, use metal needles; the plastic ones just melt.

I so appreciate the offer, I can't even tell you. But short of doing it for me, I don't know what you could do. It's not that I'm stuck, really - it's just tedious and time consuming and it's not what I want to be doing tonight. I think I'm going to put it away til Saturday when Chris can help me by at least reading the book to me - I can't SEE it well enough, and I've got a raging headache from trying.

*nod* Thoroughly understand the tedious. Putting it away and finding something vaguely fun sounds like a plan

Yeah, but I kind of regretted testing the once-suggested theory that childbirth is like passing a pineapple rough-end first. I don't think it worked as an analogy (pun intended), seeing as instead of ending up with one of your life's greatest treasures, you just end up with the result of the worst recipe for fruit salad, ever.

Meanwhile, back at the racetrack, Marc has just taken receipt of his new iPhone 3GS, and is, at this moment, synching all his apps, music and a couple of movies, and fully charging it for having a play with the stuff it does that my iPod Touch doesn't.

Sidenote: the Touch is called "Adrian". The iPhone, "Zelda".

Cheers,
Marc

Mmm... which end of a pineapple is the rough one, I wonder? Not that I have any intention of testing this

I think that would be true for both ends... But I would imagine the end with the bristly and stiff "leaves" woule produce a more elongated "OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!"

Catching up is hard to do

I don't know where Peverel has been since I started trying to catch up about #8300 - it's taken me all evening -

So you are going in the right direction... When you get to Python you'll know you're in the Promised Land... don't be tempted to turn off towards C# though - the road to Hell is paved with MFC

Happy coding
