Thanks (from the Colonies) Paul - didn't see these when you originally posted!

Three blondes were all applying for the last available position on the Police Force. The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, "So you all want to be cops, huh?"

The blondes all nodded.

The detective got up, opened a file drawer, and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened it, pulled out a picture, and said, "To be a detective, you have to be able to detect.You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities like scars and so forth." So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds.

"Now," he said, "did you notice any distinguishing features about this man?

"The blonde immediately said, "Yes, I did, he has only one eye!"

The detective shook his head and said, "Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face! You're dismissed!"
The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.

The detective then turned to the second blonde, stuck the photo in her face for two seconds, pulled it back, and said, "What about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?"

"Yes! He only has one ear!"

The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, "Didn't you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man's face! Of course you can only see one ear! You're excused too!"
The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.

The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said,"This is probably a waste of time, but..." He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, "All right, did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?"
The blonde said, "I sure did. This man wears contact lenses."

"The detective frowned, took another look at the picture, and began looking at some of the papers in the folder. He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled expression and said, "You're absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?"
The blonde rolled her eyes and said,"Well, Hellooooooooooooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses."

Any preliminary design work that I may do for a potential client ALWAYS carries a copyright notice. If they decide to take my prelim work somewhere else for use it's a clear violation.

You've probably already checked this, but are the attributes set to Hidden for them? If you take a look at the directory from a DOS window are they in the folders? You could also take a look at ZTree (if you're familiar with the old XTree) to find and manipulate attributes/etc.

Depending on your state laws, you may not be able to use "Architectural" in any form (check with your state Architect's licensing board). While most of us (licensed architects) may not care, it only takes one complaint to become a BIG headache for you.

Good luck!

Sounds like a speculative project ("Spec") - develop everything you need (entitlements, zoning requirements, civil/architectural/structural/etc. engineering) prior to turning a spade of dirt, then try and sell it to someone who'll actually fund the final development and construction. Nice work if you can get it!

Thanks Dave!

I use CrashPlan - great service at a very reasonable price, and nobody (at least a year ago) could back up external drives except CrashPlan. The initial backup took quite a bit of time (based on how much of my existing (ie. YEARS of) files I wanted them to back up) but now it's very unobtrusive and I rarely even notice that it's going on in the background. Haven't had to bring anything back (yet) so I can't comment on restoring.

Wow - thanks, Paul! I have the perfect project to use these on!

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north.

After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.

'I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained. 'I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house.'

'Don't worry,' Jack said.. 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.' The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.

Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.

But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend...

He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?"

"Yes, I do." Said Bob..

"Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"

"Well, um, yes!," Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out,'I have to admit that I did."

"And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?"

Bob's face turned beet red and he said, "Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did.' 'Why do you ask?"

"She just died and left me everything."

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this," and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."

The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a State trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."

It's Yoda in disguise.

Merry Christmas Roger!

That's nada! We have this house down the block. The neighborhood becomes quite busy leading up to Christmas. We came home the other night to find a bus parked across our driveway.

So you live near Disneyland?

Echoing Roger's post, may we all enjoy the spirit of peace and comfort no matter what your religious (or non-religious) beliefs are!

Take a look at Karen's Power Tools too (http://www.karenware.com/powertools/powertools.asp).

May not be exactly what you're looking for, but a good place to start.

I just powered up the USB external drive and I DID format it in NTFS. That should make things a little easier for you now, Eric!

I formatted a generic TB drive that I put in an external USB case through my Linksys (E3000) and had nothing but problems - it wouldn't connect, it would say it was full (of WHAT?), etc. I finally plugged the drive into my computer directly and reformatted it. Plugged it into the Linksys, brought up the Linksys configuration page and shared the drive - read it correctly (size, etc.), can read and write to it, etc. I think I did reformat it in NFTS - but don't recall (and I'm not at home to check it right now).

Very nice, Richard - thanks!

Wish it were totally true ...
