I'll buy a new box this weekend, in the meantime I'll be using my daughter's netbook.
It's okay but the screen is tiny. The bugeramont is that I need to update my resumé and the latest is ...
Also I was updating some software yesterday. Go on, guess where the code is? In the long term I'll get the disk recovered, it's only the power that's FUBAR, but today I must write.

Dare I ask where your backups are?

I back-up every Friday. 
Actually when I do something significant I back-up more regularly but day-to-day is just weekly.

This is why I have an hourly incremental backup running, with a daily and weekly schedule on top.

Is it fragmented?
Banner = flag
from left to right - flag becomes frag
... and that's as far as I can get apart from it being 10 letters and meaning broken and uneven?

Just curious. Consider the US electing a hugely popular and sucessfull President.
OK now that you have stopped laughing...
Could such a former President stand for office again after the White House has seen at least on other tennant, Putin / Medvedev / Putin style?

There is nothing legally wrong with it, and it has happened before.
However, once a President is out, he is seen by the Americans as a has been and they welcome the New, Naive and Inexperienced, rather than the firm hand and experienced former President who has a long list of friends and acquaintances in 'The System' already.
I always considered it a weakness that the American people could not vote for a good successful president.
By any measure, Clinton was a good president. (Blow Jobs in the Oval Office notwithstanding, but hey, if you were the most powerful man in the world what would you do?)
After two terms he had to go, even if most Americans wanted him to remain in office and continue with the job, he was disbarred.
Hardly seems democratic that the people's choice cannot be chosen.
(Yes, I know WHY there is a two term limit, but that argument is fallacious, you do not need to impose a limit when the constitution allows you to bear arms AGAINST your government.)

Yes, but the mugshot is scary enough to cause them Earthlings to withdraw from the competition.

In a competition you have to be in the right thinking mode.

Oh, knowing that I'm up against talent brings on my game, so to speak. The quality doesn't frighten me, it just tells me what I have to beat.

I hope that the competition rules, does not rule out an article here on CP. I for one would look forward to it.

There's definitely an article in it. While I won't be giving away the source code to the actual photo editing part, I will be writing about the more important part - how to use the perceptual side, and I will make the library I'm writing for this available for anyone to use.

I might have a different opinion on what's more important, but I have a feeling that my opinion doesn't count.
And I will look forward to an article as much in any case.

You know you have a mental image of what some Code Project members look like and when you see them they look nothing like how you imagined? Well I think your the closest to how I imagined although I did think you wore glasses and were older than you actually look in that pic.

Why thank you. I do wear glasses, and that photo is very flattering about my age. I am older than I look in it - you did read that I was writing photo editing software didn't you?

Well, I stopped by the local Microsoft store today and I have in my grubby little hand my reservation for a Surface Pro for pickup on Saturday February 9th. I'm sure that by the evening of the 9th I'll have formed a first hand opinion of whether that was a good plan or not.
While there I wanted to buy an extra copy of Office, but they no longer have Office 2010 in stock. I may go ahead and pick up a copy of Office 365 with my new Surface Pro. Looking at the use (5 PC's can use the license and I have 1, 2, 3, 4 why 5 PC's here) vs. the cost ($99/yr whereas I normally upgrade Office Pro every 4 or 5 years) it may actually be cheaper to just pay for the subscription.
Has anyone else had any firsthand experience with either the Surface Pro or with Office 365 yet?

I'm old, and reluctant to try these newfangled toys, but I'm also experienced and know from that experience that Microsoft nearly always f***s up what should have been an easy assignment. I think I'll stand by the wayside and watch for your future posts before I commit to letting the masters of instability and insecurity store my important documents in their fluffy and overpriced little cloud. Let me know how it works out, and thank you for volunteering to go first.
