You best be buying some presents for her birthday. Something totally unsuitable. But not needed.

I tried that.
But apparently a box of chocolate willies was "not romantic enough".
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

that was your problem. Some people think willies are a needed item. It needs to be unneeded. Then it is romantic. Then you can bring out the willy so to speak

Yes am working today and the goal is to get a bunch done, in particular USART interrupt for receiving on AVR but in reality I probably won't get much of anything done.
Just a lazy day!

"Working" today then off until the 5th of January.

Day after Boxing Day?
That's a Saturday!
Since one of my duties is customer support we switch who is off the week between Christmas and New Years. This is my year.
Of course I told a client manager that if she needs me she can call my cell. Doh!

Also in the states, and it is a slow day with one more support remote scheduled for this afternoon. After that, most of my customers will be out until next year which means that I might be able to clear quite a few items off of the TODO list! I am looking forward to few days off as well!

We're off the 24th through the weekend, then again from the 31st through the following weekend. Since I have some excess vacation time to use, I took all the rest in between off, as well.

When I first read about Generic Collections their beauty wasn't obvious to me.
Now I get upset anytime I've a situation that doesn't use them.
Do you have any technology where you were initially skeptical but now cannot imagine living without it?

Several years ago I heard about LINQ To SQL. I was in the process of developing an application for a previous employer, and I was only familiar with ADO.NET, basically rolling my own ORM of sorts. I looked into LINQ To SQL because I had heard so much about it. I really thought it was no good, so I rolled my own ORM/DAL with ADO.NET. It wasn't for another year or two that I realized how much I enjoyed LINQ To SQL, and I've used it (and Entity Framework) ever since.

Me too; been working with the TFS API lately. 
In my opinion .net should never have been published without generics (warts and all) -- they're that important.

Microwave ovens, how DID we cook popcorn in the past?

You don't really need a Microwave oven. All you need is a cooker or a vessel which as acts as a container and a electric or gas stove

Not exactly, but it took a while for me to "get" how powerful Linq is, and I think I still have much to understand about it.
Perhaps my lack of background in using some kind of structured query language with a database meant my initial study of Linq was "more of a jump" ?

That's Linq's target demographic.

Same here with Linq.
I feel it is harder for me to write than it should be but it sure is powerful.

You don't realize how valuable they are until you develop on a system that doesn't have them.
