Putting the words "Microsoft" and "client side" in the same sentence makes me shudder a bit.

Eating a chocolate glazed donut!

Happy Donut Day!

[Marc: I just completed both The Loved One's and my tax returns for the 2008-2009 financial year. My bill was not as alarming as anticipated, and The Loved One's was less than the cost of a new CD.

After that, we fitted the new water gauge to the new water tank.

Exciting, hey? Don't you wish you too had the thrilling adventures of my day today?]

...aaaand back to me: Adrian. Now, you see why I sometimes take hold of the steering column? Sometimes I think that boy's normal idea of fun's getting a spreadsheet to balance against itself and a bank statement. Is it any wonder I have to regulate, massage and marinate in ZCD all of his glands to produce the various, nefarious, psychoactive, hallucinogenic, hyperspatial and chaotochronological substances that keep him moving perpendicular to what you dirt-monkeys call reality? It'd otherwise be about as exiting as riding a Prius through Podunk in a pea-souper.

Cheers,
Adrian (off to trebuchet terrier-turd-tarts at the dolled-up dowagers and drunks in the local pub's beer garden...just for giggles)

So it's true, there really is a donut day? Well, what can I say. My life will never be the same now.

I just spent 20 minutes paying my taxes and bills, and I'm starting to clean up the apartment for open studio day. I don't have a real studio, so I'm opening the apartment. I need to start cleaning up, it's only 3 weeks from now

Isn't life exciting?

Well, more or less every day is donut day in my book, but the semi-official donut day is always the second of the month in the MR standard calendar!

Well, if you're over doughnuts, you could always try the Bacon Hole. It's even been blessed by a fryer from the Holey Roamin' Church:

LOB is Line Of Business.... the aps I work on are a property management app, you know for people that own apartment buildings and stuff to keep track of tennents and rents and also a financial app for people in that business to keep their general ledger and accounts payable too.

If we do get some money freed up for a designer, I will definitely contact you on your rates and availability. Any public web sites you worked on that you could send us to as a sample of your work?

BOb

ha, yes, sorry, i have heard of silverlight. never worked with it though. LOB i never heard of, i'm not sure what we would call that in french. i'll send you a pm with some of my references.

Oh, yes. you should track down whomever is responsible for your firewall and pay them large sums of money.

Pardon me while I go and gouge my eyes out with a stick...
