GeneralIt's hard being Serbian-American these days...memberNemanja Trifunovic21 Nov '12 - 11:42 
Things are getting tough. Tonight quite a few of our friends celebrate St Archangel Michael and we have to attend at least two dinners. Even if I survive all that delicious fish, beans, bread, cookies, wine, slivovitz, tomorrow is Thanksgiving with turkey, cheese, whiskey, corn bread, pumpkin pie...
 
And the holiday season is just starting Smile | :)

GeneralWhat Are You Thankful For?protectorAspDotNetDev21 Nov '12 - 10:55 
I'm thankful that I finally got SharePoint and Visual Studio playing nicely with each other. Only took a conference and 2-3 weeks of frustration. I may even be thankful enough to write an article to make things easier for others.
 
What are you thankful for (note: I will just assume you are thankful that you don't have to work with SharePoint)?

I'm thankful that I have enough things to be thankful for that I don't have to worry about what to be thankful for.

Nothing wrong with a little meta-thankfulness. Smile | :)

A year ago they told me I had cancer which would kill me within 2 years without treatment. Today I am cancer free* thanks to science!
 
That and I get paid to write c++ code for linux.

Ah, SharePoint. Something I am trying to forget, but keeps coming back in my nightmares.

Today, I'm very thankful that my daughter gave me a phone call from Uganda. After spending three days camping in the jungle and photographing gorillas in the wild and being only 100 miles away from the civil war in the Congo, hearing her voice and knowing that she is safe was definitely something to be thankful and grateful for. Smile | :)

On the bright side, she might run into this General trying to move money I keep hearing about.

By "phone call", I assume you mean "carrier pigeon message". Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

GeneralRe: What Are You Thankful For?memberChris Meech22 Nov '12 - 2:06 
Actually not. It was a real live conversation. She bought a pre-paid phone when she was in the airport in Kampala. It doesn't work everywhere, but where she is in Fort Portal town of about 45,000, the phone works fine. Though there is about a 2 second delay because of all satellites involved, I guess. Smile | :)

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore, If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before. But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 'cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud all I want is to sing it out loud
 
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
MVVM# - See how I did MVVM my way

The espresso machine wifey bought me last weekend and the new cat who is killing all the rabbits which saves me from having to shoot the pesky varmints.

If your neighbours don't listen to The Ramones, turn it up real loud so they can.

GeneralLearning on your own or formal training? [modified]memberMathlab21 Nov '12 - 10:35 
I find that 90% of the useful knowledge I have came from hours of coding on my own and the community.
 
The other 10% aka my degree just gets me through the door in some cases and allows me to punctuate my documentation.
 
Why go to school, teach the next generation to code?
Thumbs Up | :thumbsup: or Thumbs Down | :thumbsdown:
