Now this is spooky! I had a manager who did EVERYTHING in Excel and his name was Dave!

I work on only 1 main project, but have about 6 sub-projects. Then there's the day to day stuff like keeping it all running (everything from the hardware up), bug fixes, new work requests etc. An 8 hour day is a short (and rare) day!

Chocolate! Has to be at least 70% cocoa though.

We use the following to store the users ID when they logon... setcookie("UID", $_REQUEST['cuser'], time()+2592000, "/"); ...this allows us to remember a users ID, BUT it is only available after the page is reloaded. So after the above line you could add... header("Location: $http_url"); You could then check to see if it has been set. ...or you could push the value into the Session as well... $_SESSION['UID'] = $_REQUEST['cuser']; Hope this helps.

My favourite is a variable to hold the current time - SecsNow.

I have to agree. It's free and works for simple edits, adding titles, sound tracks etc. Personally I would have preferred something that ran on both Windows and Linux.

I have Ubuntu on my Netbook at home and it works just fine! Has all the office type apps I need and has worked with every USB device I've attached so far. At work we use SuSE, but are moving to Oracle Enterprise Linux (not my decision).

Congratulation and thanks for an invaluable resource! Tony

1 & 6. Although I have to agree with what was said previously; it's the layout that determines how easy it is to understand. Tony

The first computer I wrote a real program on was a PDP11 and the first computer I owned was a C64. The C64 was excellent; all those accessories you could get!! I've not been as excited about a computer until I recently bought an Acer Aspire! :cool:

Break? I seem to remember that, isn't that when you stop working during the day. Nope doesn't happen here. :(

I have been using vc6 until a couple of weeks ago when my computer died and I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to vs2005. What hard work that has turned out to be! Does anyone know of any guides covering upgrading projects from vc6 to vs2005?

I have used OpenSSL for a number of years on a project that runs on both Windows and Linux. As someone else has already said writing a wrapper is fairly easy. I, like you, originally looked at Crypto++ but OpenSSL had everything I needed and is widely used.
