    • RE: Do we have a Joke Thread goin here?

      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."

    • RE: Do we have a Joke Thread goin here?

      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."

      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. πŸ˜„

      So you live near Disneyland?

      πŸ˜†

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

    • RE: Software for file list export

      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.

    • RE: External HD Storage

      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!

    • RE: External HD Storage

      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).

    • RE: Website help.

      I started out with Weebly.com (free website, nice tools and templates if you don't know what to do.

      After a year, I decided I wanted something more robust and bought WebPlus (http://www.serif.com) to start creating my own. Couldn't easily import the Weebly-created site into WebPlus (Weebly's stuff seems to be proprietary), so had to create it entirely in WebPlus. Not entirely painless, but WebPlus has a LOT of templates to use and their forums are just as helpful and friendly as SketchUcation's are.

      I also went looking for a new host and decided on HostMonster.com. They've been very helpful, cost is one of the least around, and have had NO issues with them at all. You can see my final product at http://www.hendryarch.com.

      Hope this helps, Pete - and good luck!

      My family and I send our best wishes and prayers to all those who have been - and currently are being - affected by these natural disasters. Been through a couple of earthquakes - but they don't seem to compare at all to what we're seeing now.

      Stay safe, my friends!

    • RE: Illustrators are not artists.

      I'm not sure if this helps you at all, Eric - but a very wise architect once told me that the REAL designer is the one that knows how to make the design WORK.

      In other words, ANYONE can draw a pretty picture, but the one that knows HOW to make the pretty picture turn into reality is the true "artist/designer".

    • RE: What kinda calculator do you use??

      Calculated Industries. I have the Construction Master Pro Trig Plus III, the Windows desktop version, and they now make it for the iPhone and Android smart phones!

      They are not the cheapest, but they are the best!

      Saw 'Limitless' last weekend - very well done with a really nice twist at the end.

      Haven't seen any of the others.

    • RE: Project Messiah for 10 $ !

      I bought two Pro versions to help all of us along - and just found out that they are still accepting the reduced pricing now even though they've hit their magical number. Buy one for a friend, maybe? πŸ˜‰

      Awesome video, Eric! As an old trumpeter this brought back a lot of memories of my days back in HS (though we never attempted this one!).
