      The weekend has almost arrived, just a few hours to go.... :jig: The question is, how do we get through those few hours? Any clever ideas for getting through the rest of the day? Today's Dilbert[^] was a good start, but what now?

      Well, I've just spent most of my lunch hour looking at the latest entry in your blog[^]. There are some fantastic photos of your trip to Scotland :-D I especially like the overexposed waves - I don't really know how to describe it and "beautiful" doesn't even begin to describe it.

        Stay in the cyber cafe and keep browsing CP? I believe plane-spotting is no longer considered a respectable sport :sigh:

          Thanks Colin :) You live in a really lovely country. Although I will be spending my lunch hour down at the river in the sun, I will be spending this evening changing all mention of "valleys" on the Scotland album to "glens" :-O

And then... can I dream for 3 hours... hmmm... unsure of that but I'll give a try. If I had a better memory I would remember more.

                    It's only a few hours, "sit and wait" should work ;) If that is too boring, you can.. ...clean up your desk/desktop ...kill a few minutes making coffee/tea/whatever ...look out of the window (hmmm.....sunlight!) ...read codeproject ... ... ... ...

                      :omg: Where do you work?! Of course my office has got a window. I don't think there is a room without windows in this building - except the cellar, but there are no offices, only poor old servers. My window is on the southern side. In summer it becomes too warm in here, but today it is only very bright daylight :)

                          Not yet, but I'd *really* love to! Actually - perhaps you could tell me, if I were to come to an Eastern country, and wear my normal clothing (jeans, shorts, etc) would people be insulted? There seems to be very little info on travelling to places like Iran as well - a pity, so much history to discover :(

                                        Lol it looks like I can't say anything innocent here anymore can I? :laugh: Actually all I'm doing is working on an entry level customisation of one of our products. One of the suggestions that's been made is to increase the size of the toolbar buttons (as there are so many fewer of them and it'll be running on a small display), so I'm doing the groundwork for conditionally adding text to the toolbars which will be available in the product. The silly part comes if you turn annotations on for all 7 toolbars in the app...:rolleyes: Anna :rose: Homepage | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.
