        Excellent, but you'll want to report to Q - he has a few modifications to be put in place... ...oh, and do drive carefully...

          I have also lived some years in Spain, and there people don't accept that you speak bad spanish. I usually compensate by speaking loud and accusing people of being stupid because they don't understand me. It usually works quite well. -jhaga on non-native languages

Some of the problems with Theme Studio have been documented on my blog.

                ...where would you fit in? And/or, where would you like to fit in? In my company, its all about resources - finding the warm body with the skills to do X. I figure CodeProject has an embarrasment of riches - but who wants to do what? We're talking multi-national IT consulting firm here - what would you like to put on your card? Network admin? UI design specialist? Biztalk guy/gal? SQL Server person? QA? PM? Software Specialist? COO? Myself, I can make the speaker beep. Sadly, there's not a lot of call for this skill at the moment, but I'm hoping that's just indicative of a cyclical market. (No, I am not recruiting for CP or any other company. Just impressed by the range of talent that has become addicted to hangs out on CP, and thought I'd ask. Also, MMs post below got me thinking about skill/job targeting)

                I'd be the guy that never seems to do anything, yet makes 80,000 USD + a year. I guess I could probably be the guy that sprays the dust off the servers delicate components :) Matt Newman If you chose to continue this discussion, I am fully prepared to make you my bitch. I invite you to ask around, and you'll find out that I'm quite capable of doing so - John Simmons on Trolls

                        For a brief instant I read "flapper" and thought of "fluffer", and wondered, just *exactly* what kind of relationship do Roger and Chris have? What *really* goes on in the CP offices that Chris needs a "fluffer" and why on earth would Roger be volunteering for this. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!
