No one of my group ever moaned or bitched, we just had a story more to tell.
Like that time when the ice machine at our place broke down and I went to the reception to ask for "some ice for my beavers". I knew why that dude was laughing his ass of as soon as I remembered that I intended to say "beverages"  .
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Have you tried cross country skiing? I also have a bad knee from a motorcycle accident many years ago but used to go cross country skiing when I lived up north where there was snow in the winter.
It takes a little practice but once you get used to it but once you have mastered the basics it is a lot of fun and good exercise.

Hooray for Spring! I also live in the SE US, a little farther south than you. It's amazing just how fast the colors change from brown to green. I'm actually looking forward to cutting the grass this weekend!
As an aside, my wife and I will be making a trip out to ABQ this summer. (her mother lives there) We are renting a car and going up to Durango, CO. Have a safe trip!

Happy Equinox, Mike!
It was 97°F here Monday, but down to 87 today... Brrrr. I'm ready for Spring, by golly!

I thought the equinox was the 21st? That's certainly the traditional 'first day of spring', at any rate.
We've had something approaching spring weather here in England for about a week. Hopefully it sticks around. We didn't really get a proper winter this year, and the endless weeks of 2-5C and rain-bearing depressions every 3 days has been pretty grim, so I'm happy to see the back of it.

Solargraphy Analemmas[^]
This picture uses a technique called solargraphy. It is a rather old method using a pinhole camera and slow reacting photographic paper: this allows the photographer to record the motion of the sun. This particular image was made by taking three one-minute exposures every day for a year, resulting in an analemma[^] at mid-morning, noon and mid-afternoon.

Nice APOD, thanks.
It lifted my spirits this day.
(Maybe I should go lift some, myself, later today.)

I opened up my SQL Server Management Studio 2008 and the "Help Make SQL Server Better..." message popped up. It got me thinking. Does feedback from this actually improve later versions?
Then I got thinking do any programmers out there employ something similar in their software? Do you find the information obtained helpful? If so, would you encourage other developers to employ it in their programs? Does it depend upon the software?
Was curious to see what everyone's thoughts are.

I have never noticed anything I say to Microsoft actually having any effect on a product, including bug reports on DOS versions in Beta Testing.

That was my thought. I also don't bother selecting to "Help" give them feedback.

I've submitted a couple of issues on Connect related to Visual Studio bugs. One was closed immediately and marked "not an issue", and the other was deleted with no comment.
F*** you very much, Microsoft.

Well, MS did take some of my Beta Testing reports to heart and fixed those problems. but just in the next version of the product, not a fix for the current version, at the same time, it introduced several other problems in the new version of the product. The specific product is a little used module called MASM! Go figure!
