I liked David tennant portrayal of santa clause in miracle on 34th st. Also Patrick troughton was good as the diplodocus in Jurassic park.

But I don't watch a lot of movies so what the hell do I know?

Hmm. He's Canadian, and Canadia is part of the British Commonwealth, so he might even be eligible to play the role.

Be careful what you wish for, because a lot of people might blame you for it!

I think they should have a completely CG Doctor; stay at the forefront.

Or get Sacha Baron Cohen, who appears able to play absolutely any character absolutely convincingly.

One of the comments:

Thanks, Anthony! While I’m not now, nor have I ever been a Visual Basic user, I’m 10000% in support of your no-bashing policy. I’m sure my VB-loving friends will appreciate a safe space to learn about and discuss their favorite language.

Reading that one, it's beyond any shadow of doubt that these gentle creatures have been historically subjected to brutal bullying by the rest of the clan. I shouldn't be laughing. Like, at all. But sorry, I find it funny. Laugh | :laugh:

We should have an official CP Lounge VB day.

All the positivity of a year's worth of VB blog messages would be soundly countered by the negativity unleashed on that day.

Life as developer (on-call)

I'm curious about us developers whom have the unfortunate (or fortunate depend on your taste) of being on call. I used to do that for 10+ years on my previous job, hated every minute of it. Waking up at 3 am just to solve some silly issue. Recently I just turned down a position with Amazon, the pay is among the best ($250-300K) but I just can't cope with the On-call.

What are your opinions on on-call, especially work/life balance goes?
