Well they charge different rates. Personally, I can't find a client that will pay for travel and they all balk at my all-inclusive rate. I think I would actually make more as a full time employee.

Haha, my kind of humor (with a serious tone to it)... :laugh:

Might be interested. Where in Lagos will you be staying on arrival? Cheers

this is the route I want to go. More like (pseudo code): public static explicit operator Person\[\] Employee(Person p) { Employee e = new Employee(); e.PersonName = p.PersonName; return e; } So, the Employee object knows how to cast from Person[] to Employee[]. I could go the route of a static function on Employee, but was hoping for something a little more correct.

Paul Watson wrote: My thoughts exactly. I read the title, thought "How amazing", clicked the link and the first thing I see are a bunch of twits proudly crouching next to a bloody and dead animal. My family comes from a long line of hunters, my grandfather basically kept us alive since it was our only source of meat growing up. But I have no stomach for it, though have done it out of necissity in the past, and yet I have no respect for "sport" hunting. This reminds me of our annual hunts locally. New Mexico and White Sands Missile Range imported in Oryx from Africa many decades ago and seeded them on the Range. At the time the General then was a big-game hunter and didn't want to have to fly to Africa to hunt, NM didn't mind it was on fenced government land, and the state could regulate a hunt. So now you can sign up once a year for an Oryx hunt. An Oryx hunt amounts to paying your money to the state for the privledge, hopping in a vehicle with a Military Police armed with a fully automatic weapon, driving out to a location where the Oryx are standing in the shade of a Mesquite bush (the Oryx does not run away because he has no natural preditor and all other 50 weeks of the year you are questioned if you hit them with a car) and then you shoot him with a high powered gun usually with a scope, at 15-25 yards. You have one shot to hit him, if you miss you get another try. If you wound him but he can still run away, the MP will take him down "rapidly" so that he doesn't run off wounded. And you still get to claim him as "yours" and get photographed with it at the gate. At the gate of the range there is a pully set up with a guy to take your pictures next to your "trophy". There is more "sport" in an amusement park shooting gallery. It's a canned shoot. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Hey Simon, How are you? My name is Yessenia and work in the marketing department at getAbstract. I was looking through some blogs and ran across this one. We are genuinely interested in what customers have to say and receiving valuable feedback. The purpose of getAbstract is to provide executives worldwide with the best in business knowledge. We are all limited with time and our summaries offer the most efficient way to absorb the key ideas of today’s cutting-edge business books. Our crisp, clear five-page summaries are packed full of relevant insights and readable in just 10 minutes – the perfect length to grasp the book’s main ideas. I have used it myself for my marketing career and I have read numerous summaries that have helped me with social media ( example Twitter Power by Joel Comm and Ken Burge) and search engine optimization ( example: Get to the Top on Google by David Viney) , and many other topics. We have the largest library of business book summaries. You have access to various books on the same topic and are able to obtain different viewpoints and authors. We also release 50 new summaries every month- allowing you to remain up-to-date on the latest business knowledge. It has also helped me understand concepts in other genres I normally wouldn’t read books about: Finance, Economics and Politics, Human Resources, and many more. We definitely recommend reading the book to get further explanation, etc. I, for example, was very interested in the summary of Jack Welch’s book Winning and ended up buying the book. But with our summaries, you read more in less time and save a lot of money. I just obtained this quote from a subscriber: “I have personally benefited by your services, especially by the extract on the book, 'The Power of Full Engagement'. I then bought the book and use it in my life, yielding pretty amazing results.” If you are interested, I can send you this summary for you to review. Also, we are also currently being featured in the leadership section of the Washington Post: check it here: http://views.washingtonpost.com/leadership/books/ Sorry for the lengthy answer :). Hope this helps with your decision. If you need anything else or have any more questions, please contact us- would love to hear from you! Yessenia

Don't you think it is because the Bugzilla UI is as friendly as a cornered rat? Everytime a new team member joins here and has to start using Bugzilla they bitch and moan for the rest of their stay. One solution I had in the past for another bug tracking system was an Excel step. Clients would enter bugs via an Excel spreadsheet and we had a macro that took that and imported it into our bug tracking software. It also exported back out to Excel. Not ideal but they didn't want to use the techy bug system but were fine with Excel. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

That also sounds like a good idea. I'll play with colors this weekend and see what happens - a dangerous thing for a color-blind person to say :-O Cheers, Simon > blog:: brokenkeyboards > what I think of the OPTIONAL keyword in VB.NET? :: here > CV :: PDF > skype :: SimonMStewart

Scrubs is superbly written, love it... apart from the odd moral lesson it keeps throwing down your throat in such a subtle manner! We did have Green Wing - which was kind of similar to Scrubs, only a bit dafter! -- The Obliterator
