Congrats to nkuvu!

Heh, I thought that one would be sooo easy, too.

No one has asked me any questions on it at all. Think I should remind them of the rules?

We have had enough congrats threads that I think I can now provide an Anatomy of a Good Congrats Thread.

I was lucky enough to have Ed's help with my congrats thread (which he likes to remind me that I have almost killed from time to time).

Well, there's no thumbs up on this thread, but now there's an attachment. The five pages requirement seems a little vague to me -- I have it set to display 20 posts per page, so it might take a while...

And I already got a response from Hervé, so I'm safe there...

lol

but you forgot another important criteria - views must be 5-6 times greater than number of replies. people must be lurking, just waiting for your next topic so maybe they will know what to say.



all a successful congrats thread really needs is someone to nurture it and make sure it doesn't slide out of sight.

speaking of which, i will resurrect all the classic congrats threads when i get more time next week

Congrats nkuvu.

Thanks, Klink! That looks good enough to eat...

So Ed, what is keeping you busy these days? I seem to remember that it is the yard again, but I could be misinformed or misremembering.

Why is it that when I have to get up early I tend to stay up late? I've been getting really tired during the day, but can't force myself to go to bed at a decent hour. I mean, come on, it's midnight and I have to work in the morning, and here I am, posting away...

I am excited to go see Episode II (you know, Star Wars?) tomorrow. What's even better is that my company is paying for a bunch of us to go. For no apparent reason. We're a software company, so we have a lot of geeks on staff (myself included). But that doesn't really justify spending money for us to go see a movie. Heck, why am I questioning it? I should just enjoy myself.

And to be able to do that, I suppose I should get some sleep.

'Night all.

[edX]

well, i hope you got some sleep by now.

i was busy getting the yard and house ready for my GF's son's graduation party. the whole thing is over now. he is just moving his last few possesions into our house as i write this. Very soon, my life will be back to some kind of normal.

i know what you mean about getting up early and staying up late. What my recent experiences in the yard have reinforced to me is that it is what you do in the hours in between that counts. your body seems to need a certain amount of activity each day. and it takes more hours for the mind to provide that activity than it does for the body. at least that's my latest theory

that, and when the mind is stimulated, it tends to want to work more. when the body gets stimulated it tends to wear down quicker.

Congrats nkuvu!

I agree with the rest here: You are a great person to have on the board. I actually have you on my buddy-list. I like your posts, and I learn a lot from them. Hope you stick aorund here in the future too.
