The only issues I have with not being invited to meetings are the action items that I get. Or when my objectives get changed but somehow aren't communicated. :mad: It was broke, so I fixed it.

I'm not sure I would extrapolate the uncertainties around WPF/Silverlight to .NET in general. From where I sit I see support for .NET continuing strongly. VS 2012, MVC3, Razor and the entity frameworks, the work on WCF and then all the work being put into dynamic extensions for the CLR and parallelism. Beyond that, integration of the developer tooling into the entire Microsoft application infrastructure such as Office speaks of a plan to entrench .NET even deeper rather than rollback. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP

I've just joined a company with seventy people in the Johannesburg office. Nearly everybody knows my name, because I came in a crowd of one. I was introduced to as many as possible of them in a crown of fifty odd. I'm normally quite good with names, better than average, but in cases like this I have to apply special tactics. I try and get people to use other people's names, consult the Global Address book to confirm a partially heard name, and scrutinise meeting invites, inter alia.

At my old job, my friend was trying to install ubuntu and asked the in house expert linux expert for help. He walked over, saw what she was trying to install and announced loudly in his Russian accent "f___ ubuntu!" It became the rallying cry of our team whenever we had a major software / hardware issue, regardless of it's relation to ubuntu.

When I lost my finger, in preparation for the court case I had to go to see a Harley Street doctor who was to prepare a report. There were a number of, obviously 'standard', questions and one of them was "In what ways has the loss affected your life?". As the loss was fairly recent I had difficulty in coming up with much, except that I could not play my guitar (which, incidentally, was both true and untrue at the same time. I couldn't play it after the accident but then again I couldn't play it worth a damn before either.), an answer that I had prepared in anticipation. Any way he was a really nice guy so he prompted me with "Well, can you still wipe your bum and pick your nose?". Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

Other open-source projects survive so we'll see, either that or someone else will come along and snap it up. Qt was already pretty mature before Nokia came along as they made money from licenses, so maybe it will head in that direction again. Too early to tell but I will watching closely as we use Qt for a few projects and I love working with it. Blogging about Qt Creator
