    So who else would rather spend 30 mins perfecting a regular expression search and replace in Visual Studio's Find/Replace dialog than spend the 30 seconds it would take to do it manually. We need a 'flexing skinny, white geek muscles' emoticon

    Haven't checked to see if VS2008 allows you to name and save them.

      Is that a challenge ? Where to send candidate emoticons ? best, Bill

      "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

        Who would spend 15 minutes trying to figure out how to post a lounge reply on his new Blackberry, rather than spending 2 minutes waking up the desktop PC and doing it properly?

                  Hi, my name is El, and I am a Geek... Hi El.... It was 2 months since my last geek behavior.... Then MS released Windows 7. I caved. I downloaded it. But I held out for 3 days!! I tried! Oh well... Time to pull out Visual Studio and drown my sorrows in national elevation datasets.... err... I mean I am going to eat jerky and have diet coke while watching sci fi channel... err.... :sigh: It's hopeless.... I am a geek.

                              I have a "special" address so my aunt never visits. She might get close, like in the zip code, but she never finds my house. ;)

                                Well I spent an hour yesterday making an application that dumps my hardcoded constants into my local database and another that dumps my local database values to an INSERT script for the official test server database. sad. I could have just copied and pasted it into the VS2008 Edit table view and keep an extra excel copy but where's the fun in that?.

                                  - hear me belch. Anyway love Reg Ex, nice bloke, but he can be a bit obscure when he's had a skinful (or I have). Actually in my experience Geeks come in three shapes: 1. Skinny, shy of the sun complexion, 2. Obtuse and sweaty, and the much rarer, 3. Fit as anything, sometimes suave, and embarrasing to the rest of us.

                                  I just love Koalas - they go great with Bacon.

                                      You have an iPhone. You are not geek. Geeks understand that the iPhone is technologically impressive to those who don't know technology. MMS anyone?
