"Hello send code"
That was it.

On the bright side it wouldn't have taken long to download!
I'm on the committee of a car club here in Sydney, we recently received an email from a gentleman in China asking if we would like to buy 100 motorcycle engines
I figure people sometimes need to take a step back and think "what the hell am I doing??"

Some chinese guy mailed me (webmaster@company) if we'd liketo distribute something inexplicable (the images on their website looked like soap - but you'll never know...).
We're making loudspeaker measurement equipment.

At least they didn't give you a sob story about how they needed you to finish their senior project because they didn't understand it.

While riding up the elevator in my apartment I met a guy who has just moved in to an apartment on my floor. We got to talking and everything was cool until we walked past his door. We said our goodbye's and he opened his door and shouted to his flatmate: "dude - we have an Aussie on our floor".
cheers,

Just bring them a peace offering of kangaroo steaks, and offer some friendly advise on menu selections for the next time they're down at the Outback Steakhouse...

Hhhhmmm... I am a South African living in Switzerland and I previously lived in Chile. It is surprising how often I get asked the equivalent of this question; "How do the aeroplanes avoid the lions on the landing strip?" God, I miss Africa....

It's normally kangaroos and man-eating wombats that we have problems with on our (dirt) airstrips.

I'm sure your ass is Aussie.
Anyway you're number 1.

It rocks, it really does feel like our natural home, something physically leaves you when you land in an overseas country.

Tell them that we use herds of Antelope to lure the lions away from the strip whenever we need to land our Junker Jus.

The question is, how many take you seriously ?
Its like sometimes when I'm feeling particularly bad I make a joke about getting a body transplant.
Yes, some have....

You should be worried... Your beloved website is misbehaving...
My "Assert Enhancements" articles did not show up in the "June articles" survey. Also, my "Win32 Library" article is currently not showing in the "July Articles" survey.
Chris, could you add my Win32 article in the survey. For fairness, could you also add my June article on Asserts into the survey as well.
Anyway, how do you send a message to another CPian without having to broadcase to the whole community.
Thanks,
Wes

I left North America about 2 weeks ago for a quick trip to Oz. Before I left CNN was 24/7 war. No current affairs, no weather, no international news stories that weren't Iraq related.
This wednesday, 10 days after I left, I come back to find CNN back to it's current affairs format. One of the main stories being about a sick overweight goldfish in a restaurant tank that could no longer swim, and so had been suspended in its tank on a framework of drinking straws and string and was being fed peel mashed peas by restaurant staff and patrons.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

It's exactly this sort of hard-hitting story that makes US news the best in the world. I'm so proud...
[edit: pardon me - that second sentence was supposed to be in a separate paragraph... in a separate post... on a different website...]

Is that amount for real?
I suppose I should be happy then. I generally get about a 100 emails a day (mainly spam) that I have to sift through. On Monday's I sometimes have to delete about 300, but that's pale in comparison to 139,475!
Um, well, have fun checking your inbox.

Chris.... Do you get notifications of every single post on CP or something!!?!?!?!? Seriously... Where do they all come from!?!?
Or is that just downloading your entire Mailbox to a different machine?

Hey Chris.. Is there still an Editors position open??? I'll hopefully be getting a net connection in my flat in the next few weeks, so if there is a position open at that time would I be able to grab it?
