    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

    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?

                                        I avoid regex whenever possible. In fact, I have exactly one instance of using it, and that's to verify email address formats.

                                          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

                                          cheers, Chris Maunder

                                          Who else would rather spend days memorizing Pi with thousands of decimals, instead of just using Pi stored to a sufficient accuracy in your calculator? http://bigparadox.wordpress.com/[^] And I am not planning to calculate the circumference of the observable universe down to the planck length or something like that. And even if I would, I wouldn't need more than perhaps 50 decimals. Magnus
