    yeah looks cool

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    Wow! Seriously cool snaps.

    Is it just me, or does the shuttle seem to be humping the 747?????

    It certainly seems to be smiling about something!!

    Maybe I need to get out more.

    I think I'll go have lunch now.

    Excellent photo's

    Wow! These are georgous, Katie.

    I can't make out which shuttle it is though. Did you take these pictures? When? Tell us the story (if there is one).

    It was the Columbia...it had to land here due to bad weather in Florida. I work at the F-22 Combined Test Force which is right next to NASA. The pictures were taken by the NASA PR department and they sent it to us. We all unofficially took the afternoon off and went over and watched. It was fun....much more fun than working

    Well,

    I'm impressed. I've printed them all out so I can show my Dad when I next see him. He eventually wants to go and see a shuttle launch.

    Katie - I think you should bring back the kitten avatar. Although less artistic, it does tend to portray you better....

    Those have to be the coolest pictures. I made the front view one before take off my background. I wish i could be there. My brother in law works up in NASA in virginia. Don't ask details cause i do not know. At least i can watch when they launch from here in Florida. You can see all the way from West palm beach. I am going to show my wife these pics when i get home the are super kewl.

    I prefer the new one....

    ....finally some one on this site is prepared to use art works from the studios of a noted nazi and anti-semite.

    PS anyone going through Disney Land check out the doll exhibition, a noted Aussie has made a slight addition to it. Plus added a note explaining Mr Disney's stated opinions.

    Yes the happiest Kingdom of all, paying it's employees the lowest wages of all outside a Nike factory in Asia.

    Katie, I am so jealous. You get fighter planes and the shuttle. I get the buses on Picadilly Gardens. Life is just not fair sometimes.

    Trouble sleeping or not been to bed yet ? It's got to be one of those, I can't believe you'd deliberately get to work for 5:30

    7:30 for me usually. Gotta say it's good being out by 6:30, feels like I'm seeing the best part of the day. Anyway someone's come in now so going to have to go.

    later
