1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

We live in strange times. Star Wars usually does not interest me at all anymore and if anything, it's the nameless lower ranks of the bad guys that I have most sympathy for. After all, the government also once grabbed me right after finishing school, gave me a uniform and a rifle amd let me stand guard a little. So I was able to enjoy this little video:
FOR THE EMPIRE: SEASON ONE/a>[^]
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I'm surprised it's still there: Disney aren't generally fun about about what they see as their intellectual property ...

Beenie Man - Dancehall Queen (featuring Chevelle Franklyn)[^]
I was out with some friends last weekend, playing snooker, pool and darts, and the club we were at played this song.
The song was a hit in the Netherlands and I just read it did better over here than it did anywhere else, but only after its second release in 1999 (first was 1997).
Being a young teen in 1999, I know this song, even had it on CD, I just hadn't heard it since 1999! 
Needless to say I played it a few more times this week.
Beenie Man was a celebrated reggae artist from Jamaica, and Chevelle Franklyn is Jamaican as well.
You won't hear reggae in this dance hit though 
Sound of the week!

No, the bug has lowered my IQ by a significant number of points. I'm only slightly above flat-earthers and Justin Bieber fans ATM.

It was still empty this morning, which is unusual.
So I killed Outlook and restarted it.
Oh man ... 157 emails to go through ... joy.

@sanderrossel has started telling us all about the benefits of dried grapes. It's all about raisin awareness.

That's a grape pun.

That reminds me, we need to develop a way to send electrical shocks to other people's keyboards.

Need to prune a few of these puns.

I owe an apology for all the CCC fans...
I totally forgot that today is the breast surgery of my wife's best friend and I have to take care beside my kids of hers too...
I just was so pre-occupied all day, until now (almost eleven at night), that I just forgot...
Most sincere appologies...
(Specially to @OriginalGriff and @petepjksolutionscom, the only two recognized I'm gone)
(The good thing is I have now a spare clue to post  )
