I once installed Linux on a VM using Virtual Box running on a Windows 7 Host, never went back to it after the install. And i've stared at the screen of our Zimbra mail server running on some Linux flavour, but i can't remember which. Windows all the way for me.

When downloading the trial of ISOBuster 3, ESET is complaining about Win32/Toolbar.Conduit potentially unwanted application; is this optional to install? Thanks Edit: Just to answer my own question, yes it is an optional install.

Mindjet Mindmanager 8 for the initial database and class design. Once i have the initial overall structure broken down into projects/folders in Visual Studio and i have started coding, i just use the map to keep track of database changes and class changes are made in my head, but i sometime still stick them back into a map it they get too much. :wtf:

Aah the Spectrum. 48k. Then the Commodore 64 and then finally onto the 286. Games that stood out from those days were Microprose's Gunship, Tank Platoon, Pirates (Sid Meier was a legend!!) and Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising. Good times.

Well, males do have an extra digit. :sigh:

TortoiseSVN :thumbsup:, so i assume that other clients probably have it too, has a function called Export that does all of that for you. Just in case you didn't know. Manually finding those .svn directories can be a pain in a large project.

Does leaving sarcastic error messages for the users count? Would have been funny if they had been picked up in testing and/or QA, but alas; the users didn't think they were so funny.... :laugh:

Yep, i second OnTime. Compare editions: http://www.axosoft.com/ontime/try_ontime_free[^] There is an limited feature Express Edition which is free as well as the single-user-free Professional Edition. If you are moving to medium enterprise though, a few hundred bucks shouldn't be a problem for the full version.

I agree with your observation. Coding seems to have lost the initial lure as a hobby->job and has sunk to being a normal 9-5 type of job for some people. It's also my experience that the guys that don't code at home are also more likely not to do much unit testing on thier own code. Basically, if it compiles, it's good enough to submit to QA. But that's just been my experience.
