    I've been quiet the past few weeks. (Perhaps with a *sigh* of relief to some :laugh: ) That's because I changed jobs and I'm now working as a Project Manager instead of coding/designing/analysing. The biggest advantage is that I'm on bike distance from home so I'm done with traffic jams :thumbsup:. Perhaps I'll be back for an occasional visit, or if I ever should return to coding ;-). All the best.

        PM's aren't banned from the site automatically, you are even allowed to visit if you code in VB and Javascript, so being a PM should not be a bar at all! :laugh:

            Wow, it requires some cojones to do such an outing on a public programming forum. ;)

              Hmmm, follow the lead of so many of the cyclists I see round here. So far I've managed to avoid contact, but some only by the slimmest of margins.

                yes, but when the slippage occurs even though you can blame the dev you have to deliver the news, and justify why they failed. actually worst PM gig I had boss wanted me (on a late delivery) to tell the client X. Problem was it would mean lying to their faces. I said, "no." He said, "OK, expect your resignation letter ASAP." (I think expecting me to back down.) 2 minutes later he had my resignation. Stupid pricks made me serve my notice. (about 2 weeks (4 weeks less leave), arrive late, long lunch, leave early (usually 5 minutes after getting back from lunch) - punctuated by ms solitair etc.) hmmm, next discussion topic

                    It's only a matter of will. Once you have overcome this, the punches find their way alone. :-D
