Best of luck, RSE! I loved programming in COBOL, it was just like talking. Since I LOVE talking, we were made for each other. I was so sad when I started my first job out of college and they told me I had to learn a new programming language ~ C!

I decided that I couldn't face the work Christmas party, so just booked a Eurostar ticket to go to the next Paris meet-up, which falls on the same weekend.

do you think it would count if i subscribe to cable, just so i can immediately cancel it to save money ?

Off course. Go out an buy stuff that is on sale. You will be rich with all the cash that you saved!

Heck... alot of people do it. They go out and buy a $30k Prius because it gets 10 MPG more than there 2 year old almost paid for car.

If you truly wanted the wandering-ins to be "random", you'd probably have to install the GreaseMonkey plug-in as well, but I'm sure it can be done. The rest of it is no sweat. I'd be happy to make a llama and a penguin theme, when I get a chance (and maybe even a penguin-llama theme?)
