Santa would be Matt somewhere in India or Mexico.

All the reindeers would be busy doing events...

I have no idea.
All I do know is that he would leave everything till the very last moment and then pull an all-nighter on the eve of delivery.

He already does.. all gifts to be delivered in a night... maybe he actually is a Developer..
search google for William Severance... he actually is a developer, and really looks like Santa..

Then he would either be delivering presents in a 911 or a M3 since that is what Programmers with too much money seem to buy.

There would be no easter eggs in his applications.
Christmas Trees would be binary -- or fractals.
If you received socks you could press undo.
We wouldn't leave him milk.
He would enter through a back door.

He's making a list, and checking it twice. Gonna find out who's naughty and nice...
List<Child> SantasList = new List<Child>();
foreach (var kid in TheWorld.Children)
{
SantasList.Add(kid);
}
SantasHelper.CheckList(SantasList);
SantasHelper.CheckList(SantasList);
var NaughtyList = SanatsList.Where(x => x.IsGood != true);
var NiceList = SantasList.Where(x => x.IsGood == true);
As for the children...
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
public class Child
{
public String FirstName { get; set; }
public String LastName { get; set; }
public bool IsGood { get; set; }
public bool IsAwake { get; set; }
}
Although in looking at this, I'm sure its all wrong. Santa is probably a master at massively parallel computing; how else does he visit all of those girls and boys around the world in a single night?!

My 20" Monitor just gave up the ghost so I fitted a full HD 24" one to the machine.
Unfortunately the old card isn't up to it so whilst I have a bigger real estate I cannot utilise it in full.
Still, I shall spend £40 or so and get a new card so that I can enjoy the full potential.
Any recommendations on Graphics Cards? (It is not a gaming machine so I don't need a full on bells and whistles jobbie).

Who cares? It's a monster graphics card, and you control the money, so what are you waiting for?

Justification.
So long as I can either a) Justify it, or b) Hide the cost in someone else's budget, then I am ok.

The justification is that you need a new graphics card, and it is a new graphics card...a nice new shiny graphics card...look at the shiny...
Can't you hear it calling to you? Buy me Dave, buy me...

In a way, yes. Higher resolutions mean that there is more stuff to move around in graphics memory. Modern operating systems and/or GUIs use the graphics hardware to keep up with that. You may not need the latest and strongest GPU, but you will still need one. Get yourself some graphics card with a GeForce 9 chipset, that should be strong enough for desktop GUI applications while by now being in the lowest pricing range.

Woke up to the wind rattling the windows of my bedroom; this has promise me thinks.
On my walk to the station I realised I had forgotten my headphones; so no news today.
It started to rain, no not little pitter-patter nice rain but the drop a f***ing lake on your head and see what survives rain; top juts about dry but trouser legs were soaked.
My train was cancelled and the next one was overcrowded; I love standing the whole way into London on the stupid train.
There's a signalling fault which means the normal 25 minute trip is 45 minutes; ties in with having to stand up.
I'm stuck underneath the air-con. Why do they need stupid f***ing cold f***ing air pumping out at f***ing head hight in the f***ing winter? F***ers
I eventually get to work and I'm cold, bad tempered and feeling sh*tty. By the power of Greyscull I command you:
"Make me laugh or I'll Nagasaki* the lot of you into the dark ages!"
* This is like a Troll kick to the nadgers but it's gone atomic.
