The work I've done in the past year has convinced me to take time out and ask for some things which help my work. For the past three years, most of these items have come out of my food budget.
» While my clothier does not mind this (losing a size or two helps their bottom line and streamlines my own bottom line as well) I must say that I prefer having regular nutrition which does not involve 'spanging,' 'panhandling,' begging, or shoplifting. Of course, if you decide to shoplift any of these items be sure NOT to tell me about it. Fnord.

"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!"
Sorry, we've been down that road before...
Submitted by DrewHendricks on Sat, 10/28/2006 - 4:09pm.We have existing databases which need to be accessable, usable, and more than 65,000 records - which Base (as installed on our "jukebox Box" at the Island) seems to be unable to do. Also, Base seems to be unwilling to open mdb files - so we must, if we are to migrate, use MS Office for some time intermediate to such a shift. Working toward that is not my passion. I have no religious allegience to OS or to Application - I work on the principle of "I got it, I learned how to use it, now I don't want to reclimb that learning curve without absolute need."
Which is another way of saying I've been a hacker / computer geek long enough to realize that I'd rather be interested in women.
