First Movie Quote Of The Day Of The Year
Nobody. No body, that's what we mean. Mr. Boddy's body, it's gone.
You have absolutely no clue which movie this could be, do you?

Nope. But, I suspect it was Professor Plum, in the study, with the lead pipe... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No Clue...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I'm sure he'll give us a clue if we ask nicely?

I should imagine Inspector Clueseau will be able to find it.
Yeah, I know, really bad - sorry about that.)

Well, I do have a clue. And honestly I didn't look this one up.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Tim Curry FTW!
I watched it once when it was first out and my kid has watched it a few times on Netflix. It's not very good.

it was annoyingly overacted, but some of the dialogues where hilarious.

After US Bank I had to deal with Geico (it was related). Every single time I have had to deal with Geico they have been wonderful: an absolute pleasure. Oh, and cheaper than everyone else.

They also have the best commercials, IMHO.

Agreed - I get a live person within a ring or two that actually speaks English and is very pleasant to talk with. Great customer service!

I dropped them for Liberty Mutual - cheaper. Given a chance, some years later, to get me back with teaser rates, Geico didn't even match Liberty Mutual.
"Hurricane" Sandy: Liberty paid me in a couple of weeks - my father's Geico took well over a month along with several visits to their little emergency-trailers until they got it straight. I was there for all of it.
As for the commercials: cute -> uh uh -> enough. Maybe if they advertised less and used the money to lower their rates?
FWIW: I hate Allstate.

I've been using Liberty Mutual for the last dozenish years and have never been disappointed in the quality of their service and price. My parents have been insuring their cars with LM for at least 20 years (probably a lot longer); and moved their home insurance over after having problems with their prior company for that a half dozenish years ago.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I guess not for everyone I had them for a while until I found the one I use now which is 1/2 the price Geico charged.
I'm retired, I've had one ticket in 45 years of driving and no accidents. It should be pretty freaken cheap!

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Looks like I might be trying my hand at a bit of wordpress plugin development. Anybody done this before? How is it? Awesome? Horrible?
How was the learning curve? And do you have control over URL routing etc the same way you do in MVC?
Cheers

I've made / modified custom WP themes before, but never developed my own plug-in for it. From that standpoint, I know the architecture wasn't bad. Can't say it's spectacular either, but not bad. However, there is plenty of documentation online (thank you Google) to make the mojo happen relatively easy enough, with a theme at least.

Wordpress plugin development is relatively straightforward depending on what you are doing. There is a decent api for managing settings, custom post types and the like. I haven't written any that add extra public pages, I usually do those in themes.

So, as some of you may recall, I am now an employee rather a contractor (same organization).
This commenced on Dec 22 2014.
So
Week 1: Mon, Tue full days; Wed early off; Thur, Fri: closed
Week 2: Mon, Tue full days; Wed early off; Thur closed.; Fri early off
Counts as ten paid days!
Damn - so this is what it's like to work for a living?
If only I had known . . .

I can beat that... Starting December 22...
Week 1: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri... Poolside on vacation in Florida
Week 2: Mon, Tue full days, Wed early off, Thur closed, Fri full day.
And that was ten paid days

Perhaps you miss the point:
This is my first two weeks as an employee.
I worked roughly 6 of ten days for ten days pay.
I didn't use any vacation or other personal leave.

I'm aware. I just had to counter your gloating somehow, because I didn't get to go home early on Friday
