>Sorry to hear things did not work as hoped for. Crossing my fingers you work off via through physical activity like riding your bike, running or hitting a heavy bag instead the other way. And yes, go read some code written by the "new guys" in other languages - you will get the drift [it's only code and roll] - also the attitude is refreshing in some of the OS active lists. Books might cost a bit, but can be read again.

"It's only code and roll" -- that was a good one that made me laugh.
Now you have that Stones song running through my head. Ah know ... it's only rock and roll ... but I like it ...I like it ...
Nobody struts like Mick Jagger. Although he is about 120 now and should probably think about hanging it up.

When you're 50 feet from the stage and Keef is shambling around the back side of the stage busting out the chords to "Tumbling Dice," wearing biker boots and a cigarette hanging from his lips. you have witnessed rock and roll in its essence).

Now here is the funny thing. I keep trying to quit and my boss won't let me. I worked on some pretty major stuff over the summer, line of business altering stuff, and he wants me to stay around until it is in production for a while. He says you owe it to me to stay through the end of your contract, which is the end of the month. So I will be there through 8/31. Or is that 31/8? ;-)
Thanks again to you and the Stones for picking me up.
