ARRRG!

Sorry, just felt like yelling.

LOL. I did my 3-part name. I think I'll stick with "Norm" (Although, they kinda go together).

Arrrg. Missed that one matey.

"Norm"? Doesn't sound like a Pirate's name to me.

AY! Sept 19th. I mentioned this was coming up the other day to my wife and son. They both stared at me like I was from another planet.

But then again, that's the look I usually get from them.

So, I need a Pirate name. Any ideas?

Congrats Craig!

2nd place. The guy that got first place did a "large pumpkin eats small pumpkin". He brought his to the party. I carved mine at the party. It was fun.

Carve your own pumpkin.

On Oct 27th, we have our monthly neighborhood dinner get-together with friends. For entertainment, we'll have a pumpkin carving contest. Shall we start a pool here that I will win?

Here's one of the finalist pictures we almost sent out for Christmas 2004. It didn't make the cut.

Yeah - silly family photos = Kris's previous avatar. This one is MUCH better (not just because it takes 1/2 the focus off of Kris!!!) LOL!!

She may need to go into her phone settings and manually switch over to the Eruopean network. Again, an online phone model user's guide should specify how to do it.

I feel your pain Susan!

You'll have to read the power info on the bottom of the laptop. There are two factors - voltage and hertz. If the laptop is set up for 110 to 240 volts, it should most likely also be set up for both 60 (USA) and 50 (Europe) hz.

Do you still have the paperwork for the Acer? Or, do you have the model number? The Acer web site should have the doc online.

Most two prong (plugs with no ground prong) US plugs are polarized (one prong is wider than the other), but IIRC, in Europe, the two round prong plug is not (or, perhaps one prong is a different diameter???)

I use Scite occasionally too - on Windows, when I need line numbers. I said "fee" for TextMate, not "free".

Last year, I went to a Ruby conference and Sun demonstrated NetBeans 6.0. It looked good, but I have yet to download it. I really liked the interactive debugger built into it, but alas, that won't work for SU. I told Sun I would pay $1,000 for an interactive debugger that works in SU.

Thanks for the tidbit. For Ruby, I currently use TextWrangler (free), but might be moving to TextMate (fee).

I use XCode a lot for C, C++ and Java. It has some quirks, but is basically a pretty good editor. I just recently figured out how to turn on code completion. That sure is nice.

The author of the script trim_extend.rb, on line #96, used some ruby syntax that generates a warning. It won't affect the operation of the script, per se. That's the first message.

The rest of the messages are "garbage" debugging messages the author of a script (not necessarily trim_extend, but that's very suspect), left in the source code that should be cleaned up and removed.

I could teach Ruby, and would REALLY enjoy it, but I could only do weekend gigs.

Todd

It took me a while, but I've made it over. Looking forward to good conversation and friends.

Reminds me of the scene in Galaxy Quest when crew member "Guy" is screaming disaster when they are seeking out a Beryllium sphere...

"How do you even know I HAVE a last name?!"
Todd

("Fleegman" was his last name)

Thanks James. (er... James who? LOL!!)

I would suggest using Notepad.

See your first post for a solution. Todd
