Normandy Then and Now+1 on the Cemetery at Omaha and +1 on Arromanches too. What I thought was cool was when my wife and I were visiting to monuments at Ponte du Hoc (I think) back in '93 we saw a two bridal parties (complete with brides) running up and down the fortifications. That was nice to see - the younger generation, just starting their lives - remembering the sacrafices of the older generations.

Terminator SalvationOh man I liked the new ST movie!

Terminator SalvationI was better than I thought too, but I couldn't get past how ridiculously unrealistic many plot elements were: • In a post apocalyptic world, were does all the fuel and spare parts for those airbases come from? • If a robot is supposed to kill you, wouldn’t it just kill you by -- oh I don't know -- putting its metal fingers through your skull rather than throw you against walls a bunch of times? • etc, etc, etc. I guess I can only suspend my disbelief so far!. -Jay

What's everyone working on?Not a bad idea! To make it clear to my users which card project they're working in, the BackColor of the programs that print cards for a profession that people commonly associate with women is Pink. The other one is associated with a profession most people don't like so its BackColor is a variant of brown (I was disappointed to not find PoopBrown in the color dropdown list). I thought it was funny but none of my users noticed. -Jay

What's everyone working on?I've got something (that I find) interesting going: a set internal applications I've developed (using C# w/SQL Server) that we're using to print official ID cards for two major professional organizations in my state. After an ID card renewal cycle for these organizations, every member will be flashing cards printed by my application (this provides me a measure of geekly pride)! -Jay

Why do MS even want Yahoo?Because Microsoft likes to crush their enemies, see them driven before them, and hear the lamentations of their women. No wait, that's what Conan likes to do. -Jay

Developing Cellphone SoftwareSteven, I didn't think to check ebay. Thanks!

Developing Cellphone SoftwareI’m going through a similar exercise for my older model of Nokia phone. I want to write my own phone book to allow me to categorize my contacts rather than the flat file approach. I haven’t had a lot of time to do this, but here’s what I've found.(for my S40 compatible phone): The Nokia site is a great resource. If you haven’t already done so, for your model of phone check out http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/N80 You can download IDEs (Java or C++, not C#) and a number of other tools. I need a rather expensive (~$30) cable to allow me to directly upload programs from my computer to my phone. An alternate is to upload any program to a website and then download from this site to my phone (I don’t have handy any specific website where you can do this). -Jay

Any lucid dreamers out there?I rarely have lucid dreams but I believe I'd wake up if I physically did something in that state (like turned on an audio tape). -Jay

Barcodes and printersSearch CodeProject! I had a similar requirement several months ago and created my own control based on this useful article[^]. We just print out barcodes to laser printers. -Jay
