Good on yer!  There really are some idiots about!
You know, I can't have kids so it makes me very angry when people don't value the precious gift they have been given!

 Thanks Elaine, that was a rare slip where I told you something very personal wasn't it?
I'm OK about it now, but people do assume that because I haven't got kids I don't like them, and abuse or neglect winds me up enormously.
But there is nothing I can do about it and I think that for some people the thing they got so easily (ie the child) means so little partly because it was easy and if they had struggled like me perhaps they would care more. Who knows with people like that?
I shall say no more on the subject or I will ruin my happy go lucky reputation! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I didn't know. Must be hard sometimes.... But think of all the sex you can have without worrying;)

I'm living in a country where driving and talking on the phone for some unexplainable reason is still allowed.
Now, as I'm seing myself as a liberal in the old meaning of the word, I'm being generally very much against lawmaking, especially as half the laws are just political anyway.
But talking on the phone while driving isn't just affecting yourself, it's potentially lethal for other people and therefore irresponsible. 'Nuff said!

isn't this the point where you let the air out of her tires, and call the cops about some idiot illegally parked in a handicapped spot. Nothing like a ticket and a tow to apply the cluebat.

Next friday I will be taking a shot at my first MS certificate (70-505, Windows Forms Applcation Development)!
I have used the MS Self Paced Training Kit, created form apps and read some CP articles.
I'm still not sure about it though. I have tried the Training Kit Exam Prep (from the CD) and never actually scored over 80%... I mostly fail on details that are not in the training kit (mostly attributes) and installation techniques (security mostly).
Just now I had 76%, so I'm getting there!
So any tips? Websites I should really check out, articles I should really read?
Any help is appreciated!

I'm gobsmacked by the fact that coding books rarely if ever cover deployment of your applications.

Well, this is a book that is supposed to train me for the exam, and the exam is about deployment as well. Sucks though, because I think security is something for network admins, and I am not one  .
Of course I understand that I should know about it if I am going to deploy my applications and have users read and write files etc. that need permissions, but somehow I feel this security stuff is a whole different profession.

Some tips? Don't bother with the certification. Means nothing at all to people looking for real programmers.

It means something to my current employers though 
Perhaps another 200 euro raise?

It could be worse. I studied and practiced and studied and practiced and even used the Official Microsoft materials for it (the 2003 MSCE upgrade from whatever test...don't remember the number).
Anyway, it turned out that the test bore absolutely NO resemblance to the study materials. None. Zip. Not even close.
Apparently, they changed the test just before I took it.
It was the first and only test I've ever failed in my life.
Good point: work paid for it.
Bad point: work paid for it and I had to go in and tell my boss that I failed.
I was so ashamed, I found a new job.
At $3000 more per year.

That is bad... And not very comforting
I did not tell my boss I am going to take it, just in case I fail. I think paying for it myself without letting my boss know is far better than letting my boss pay and then telling him I failed. Especially since I think my employers will not take me seriously anymore if I fail (they tend to joke about my skills already, I'm completely uncertified as a programmer and I have no background in it...).
But maybe I could also get another job at $3000 more per year, well done!

A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about to jump off a bridge so they stop.
The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to commit a suicide," she says.
While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity he asked "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a Kiss?"
So, she does and it was a long, deep lingering kiss.
After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best Kiss I have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous. Why are you committing suicide ?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl......"
