Congratulations Mr Rage.
I am wetting the head of Benny Rage at the moment.
Can't help with a news paper page. I was away and it was a holiday. Not sure if there was a newspaper here on the 7th.
Congrats again...

Congratulations.
We only get a local paper once a week (Thursday I think), but as all newspapers just lie about everything just make one up and it'll have the same impact

'Grats!
It's probably too late for me to find a copy of yesterday's paper, if you're not picky I can probably get today's though.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Just done a fresh install of my system, and I was using Windows Live Mail 2012 before. It was pretty terrible, so I was wondering what everyone on here uses and can recommend?

Web-Based Client.
I used Outlook 2010, and I am planning on setting it up again on my laptop (still too lazy).

I've used several, and I can recommend none of them.

I'll second the vote for Thunderbird. While it does get frequent updates, they are pretty unobtrusive.

Another vote for Thunderbird. Be sure to get the portable[^] version. I recommend using portable versions of your apps, as far as possible.

I use Outlook and I actually enjoy it.
I used Thunderbird and I really didn't like it. User interface is fine, but I didn't enjoy the thousands of individual files it created for each message. Created a big problem when the indexer ran and really slowed down my defrags.

The only one I've never had any big complaints about is, remarkably, Outlook Express.
Simple, does what it says on the tin, with no highfalutin or open-source overtones.

I'm sitting here trying to get a project out for a customer by Workboat Show (link[^] if you are interested in marine automation)...
Anyway, I've been family jewels to the wall on this project for the past 2 weeks, and will continue to be for the next 3 weeks, including 2 weeks of travel in there. I have an insane amount of work to get done and I find that having some fast-beat music at just under conversation volume going in the background helps me concentrate and get this stuff done.
So do you prefer to work in complete silence, or with something in the background?

Good noise! Pandora playing in the background.

Usually a little music helps, volume and genre depend on mood. Anywhere from Bach to Metallica!

It depends. 1% of the time, when I have to think through a complex problem I like quiet so I can hear my own thoughts and the occasional whispers from the angels "Do it this way, moron!", and if I'm doing incredibly boring stuff (which is 98% of the time) I like something in the background, and the other remaining 1%, where things are mildly interesting, I can go either way.
Programming is 99% boredom and 1% terror as "I don't have an f***ing clue."

Although I prefer silence - if it is silence I need it to be, well, silent; No distant phones ringing, barking dogs, developers snorting, coughing, farting etc. I find the odd noises in otherwise silent environment to be more distracting!
So I end up preferring a little noise, at a low enough volume to allow me to ignore the plinks and plops of the office environment.
Occasionally, when I am writing a lot of code, and I'm excited about it (less often these days  ) I confess to cranking up the volume somewhat, but sometimes find myself slipping out of 'rockstar programmer' mode and into 'rockstar rockstar' mode!

Music under headphones. I work in the middle of a cube farm and it's considered impolite to play music "out loud". I have to have something to listen to, as I've got a group manager over one cubicle wall who's constantly on the phone, and the rest of the folks are constantly talking back and forth.
I listen to smooth jazz, New Age, 70's funk, 80's pop, and rock from any era, depending on what I'm doing. Instrumentals usually when I'm debugging, as vocals are distracting. The New Age helps when I'm fighting a migraine and when I'm writing documentation (no correlation implied). Rock is good when I'm doing UI layout, for some inexplicable reason.
And yes, I know I'm going to lose what little credibility I have here, since I didn't list my 27 favorite metal bands.
