A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed.
Walking through the mall the surprised wife looked up and noticed her husband was no where around and she was very upset because they had a lot to do.
She used her cell phone to call her husband because she was so upset, to ask him where he was.
The husband in a calm voice said, " Honey, remember the jewellery store we went into 5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day?"
His wife said crying, "Yes I remember that jewellery store."
He said, "well I'm in the bar next to it. "
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is SILENCE, the second is LISTENING, the third MEMORY, the forth, PRACTICE and the fifth is TEACHING others!

I am actually writing some code today. Real code, for a real product. As it is mine, I might even make an article of it at some point in the future.
Why go mad? It is taking an very old app, that has finally died, and rewriting it. VB6 to Java, joys untold.

I know, VB6 is a sh*tty language and bever really worked, which is why I'm only now reporting a 10 year old project. It was a semi-favour job I did and it is from far mission critical but the software works and could possibly last a bit longer unchanged if it wasn't for a big change in the company. They have got a big bithca system in for most of the critical work and it all runs on a Linux box, my VB6 app would need an extra box running WinX to keep it going.
So we've decided to port it to run on Linux and given a choice between C++ and Java, I know which will be quicker. By the end of the week the coding will be done. Hard work!

Bah, back in the 80's I was working on this huge project which involved porting from assembly to FORTRAN! Try to explain that to your kids.

For those that can[^] then download and listen to this.
It was absolutely brilliant.
Highlight: Professor Monica Grady[^] was describing the age of a particular meteorite she had brought along as being 4.3652 Billion years old. Professor Brian Cox suggest that that information would be best sent to certain states in the American Mid West. Sir Patrick Stewart said he was just glad of a job and loved it when Buzz Aldrin visited the set.

I'm embarrased to admit that I actually checked to see if anglopfiles was a real word
blueprint = plan
blueprint starts off = an
greek = g
latin = l
old = o
page = p
sharpens = hones
anglophones = English-speaking persons, especially in a country where two or more languages are spoken

Well, an anglophile is an admirer of England and things English, so it was not too far off.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

No no, that was no criticism, what I meant is "let's come up with a definition of anglopfile".
Anglopfile: noun, English personal file.
