I'm supposed to be moving to Alaska for 6 months in March.

Oh man - you are living my dream before me! What will you be doing?

We were hoping to go there next May, but it may have to wait a year now that I have a serious job, with annual leave restrictions Frown | :(

It's a tough choice, but you may find things will work out. My husband and I survived 3 years of me working / studying in England while he was doing the same in South Africa. Sometimes we can destroy something great, just by thinking too much Smile | :)

I've always heard that there was an idea behind Win ME... I still can't figure out what that was... anyboy know??? I;ve herad the idea was that it was supposed to be n operating system but I doubt this. - Brian Delahunty

This isn't for def but I hope so.

6 month work placement for my college couorse. I'll be working for hope alaska [www.hopealaska.org[^] Smile | :)

]. The actual work experience isn't the best. I'll probably be just working on setting up and maintaining the network but the cool thing is this....

They'll be flying me all over alaska. They have locations in about 30 different places and I'll be flown around to the different locations as there isn't much of a rain or road system.. talk about a way to see the country!!!

I'll be on $400 a week and get free accommodation and all bills, except food, paid for. As regards work experience it's not what I want to do but there is no way in hell I'd let a chance to visit Alaska slip through my fingers!!!!

Fingers crossed for me!!! Smile | :)

Reminder! Bosco is still there! Considering all the work that you've done today (i.e. none) you could have removed it, or not put it there in first place! img src="/script/Forums/Images/smiley_cry.gif" align="top" alt="Cry \| :((" /> -D;P;) Can you find the middle?

Ahhh. But tell me, is she brunnette and long legged? Big Grin | :-D

Well all the best Brian, just treat her right and be responsible... (God I feel so old now, 23 is a hectic age. 22 was still young enough, but 23 is too close to 24 which is official Adult Era age... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

)

BTW can you speak Irish? The proper stuff I mean. I am reading a book, The Story of English (not as boring as it sounds) and there is a big section on how Gaelic and the Irish have influenced English so much. But then it tells a very sad tale of how Gaelic is pretty much dead and that Irish is not faring much better.

She's a red head and she's not very tall at all. Very small actually.

I always do and I always will. I respect women way too much to treat them wrong, besides I done enough of that when I was 15 and 16.

So... I'm nearing 22 now... I have another 2 years to go before I'm entering the "Adult Era".. Cool | :cool:

I'm not fluent but I know enough of it to get along in a conversation with a fluent Gáeilge [Irish] speaker. Irish is, sadly, dying over here but there are still areas of the country [Called Gaeltéachts] where Irish is the only language spoken. About 50% of the population have a strong understanding of the language and about 20% can speak it fluently. it seems to be dying off because it's forced upon us in school from the age of 5 or 6 and at this early stage we're still learning English. It's a pity. It's not a difficult language and the government are trying to start a revival.

However you can get Linux in Irish and google even comes in Irish too!! [http://www.google.ie/ga[^] Smile | :)

More or less everything over here is Displayed in Irish and in English.

I didn't know that there is an irish version of Goolge. Thanks for the Link !

I am a realy big fan of Ireland. I'd spent some month in Dublin years ago
when writing my diploma thesis at the DIT.

Happy you, living in the country with the best ever brewed beer Wink | ;-)

Just another question: is it much work you get from CodeProject as an editor ?
(I just think to volunteer for this job)

All the best from Germany,
Tom.

There is a bit of work to do. I'm actually finding it hard to find the time at the moment because of college work and work [paid work... it's a scourge but I need to do it in order to get money to live.. lol!!]. The best thing to do is talk to Chris. We've just taken on a new editor now so I don't know if there is a need for another editor soon but it's best to ask Big Grin | :-D
