Sounds like they took a vote and didn't tell you about it? 
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Yup. One daddy to do all heavy/dirty work and three girls to be beautiful. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Pretty much! Estimate what they will take then multiply it by 3.

Close, I go for the much more accurate multiple of √(number of days). So a week is ~x3 and a month closer to x6

True, forgot the amount of time.

Gosh, how terribly interesting. Did you have enough room on the dash board for the second sat nav?

If you think that's interesting, stand by for the reports of traffic on the AutoBahn.

Is it correct that "gubbins" is just a generic word for "stuff" ?

When I travel by air, I take a carry-on bag with everything I need for a week, including the stuff for work. My wife uses her 2 suitcase allowance as well as my 2 suitcase allowance.
When we drive, I take the same bag with everything I need for a week. My wife loads up the trunk (boot), and the back seat.

News: OneCore[^]
I won't be learning OneCore as I hope to skate along in Silverlight just long enough to get out of the programming field altogether. After nearly 15 years in development I've had enough of the 'next big thing' - only to see wonderful environments such as Silverlight get replaced with trash like the HTML stack.
On the upside all of you will earn more for your time as other developers leave the field. Bravo to those of you willing to 'dig into the next framework' or spend hundreds of dollars on books/classes/time reading blogs to figure out the next big initiative that will be lauded as the great new thing only to be oddly and entirely abandoned about the time you begin to get a handle on it.
Nevermind me, I'll be at the beach.
I won't be thinking about OneCore.
Die in a fire.

I don't believe it. Nope, nope, nope and nope. It can be. The devices have different hardware so they are telling me I will be able to run win 7 on my Nokia 7800 ? Nope, nope and still nope.

Oh yeah WinForms is dead I guess and its WPF's life time. Maybe they are talking about the scaling powers of WPF as a "operating system for all devices" because the ui will look the same an all of them(if it runs). OR maybe because the BSOD will look the same on them.

Good memory, but not that good! The Dilbert page as a "Keyword Search" text box to find the exact strip. Doesn't always work though...

I have tried the keyword search but didn't really get very far with it...

For that one, just search "Food stamps"
Try "Evil spring" and see what you get.
