I wrote about friends a few posts back, and well, Henrik is one of those friends. He endured living in our house as a fellow high school student. (What year was that?) Doing that when English is not your first language was not an easy task but he made it. His permanent home is in Sweden. I came across his email address and decided to update him on where I was and find out what he was doing. In turn, we also shared pictures so I felt the need to share with you.

At one time I had a piece of code that would make MS email virus application er I mean, common business email application prompt for what folder to stick emails in after you send them. (name withheld because they tend to be sue happy and I do not care for their business tactics or their products)
Anyhow, Sue Mosher wrote a small routine, which was extended by Tony Redmond and now me. ( i added the error code to stop the error on calendar items)
To use this, open the email app, press ALT+F11 (which opens the code editor)
Open the project down to the Session (double click)
Paste the below code in there, save and exit. Continued...

MSNBC has an article on the PC industry, and this quote seemed notable:
"Rollins was boasting that Dell reaps more than 100 percent of the profits in the entire industry. Sounds weird, but think of it this way: Dell is making big money while everybody else combined is operating at a loss. Sorry, Carly."
Welcome to the next stage in pc commoditization allowing for the profits to sink out from under the big playa's. Wait till it hits the printers.. Personally that will be more exciting because the printer conglomerates have prevented bubble jet technology from moving out of the "proprietary" stage up to this point, by doing something that border trade legalities. Some year soon, that "bubble" will pop and then printers for everybody! Just like computers.

35 weeks is a land mark. The time sometimes seems to creep along, but then when you least expect it BANG brand new kid! I cannoot help thinking of the difference of growing up where frigid temps and tons of snow are the norm vs where the sun shines and it gets hotter than the sahara (sometimes).

Mood: Chipper
I updated parts of the site, new code for the PHP engine and I added the word "Karma" for the journal entry ranking and moved the date to the top. If you have an opinion, make a comment. :)
Kiki noticed I was missing several entries, so I rebuilt the index and that seems to have cleared that up. If you notice anything else, please post it here so I can correct it. (Thanks in Advance)

I will try to tell a story that captures an esssence of something, perhaps you can figure out what. (This is a dramatization, all names and places have been changed to protect the innocent and there are no relations to anything that could happen in real life. At all. No animals were harmed in the making of this drama, except for a Baby Ruth)
Opening Scene: Two people of opposite sex in different geographic locations but sitting at terminals with electronic messaging (e-mail).
First Person (FP): "I get the feeling you do not want to do something special, so if that is the case just tell me. If you are not in the mood please tell me and I will forget about it."
Second Person (SP): *scratching head* writes back "I am writing back because if I do not I will be accused of ignoring you so I feel compelled to reply. Take a deep breath, hang up and then try again."
FP: "I do not need to breath, you did not answer my question."
SP: "What question? You seem to have answered all the questions in your email."
FP: "No I did not, please be honest, it may hurt my feelings but I would like to know the truth."
SP: "The truth about what? You seem tense."
FP: "I AM NOT TENSE! Why are you avoiding my questions?"
SP: "Now I am avoiding questions? Please paste your questions from this email."
FP: "I get the feeling you do not want to do something special, so if that is the case just tell me. If you are not in the mood please tell me and I will forget about it."
SP: "There are no question marks. What are the questions?"
FP: "Does there really need to be question marks for there to be a question? This is exactly what I am talking about... You have not answered the question that I have asked. Just forget about it, if it is still bothering me later we can talk about it on the phone."
SP: "Ok"
FP: "Ok"
Again this has nothing to do with anything remotely similar to any actual events.
but if it did, The question is, what are the (theoretical) sexes of the speakers (FP and SP)?
Bonus question, What were the original two questions being asked?
