Bing is a technology?
I always assumed it was a blank page...

The big telly in our office is currently showing Bing with a roaring fire background.
Very atmospheric.
Apart from the great big white search bar through the middle of the flames.

No. It's Python, of course.

Good luck, and congrats.
I always noticed that people/company treat you a little different (worse maybe?), when they know you are leaving. Hope that doesn't happen to you.

I'm at the Wife's relo's place now. Little over 2 hours in and I reckon beer 9 is about to be had.
Faarrrkkkk me but Wogs shouldn't be able to procreate.

As I post this message, the current count of members online is almost 50,000 (49,669), and the Lounge loads as fast as would a cached copy on my local hard drive. When I joined the group, a load of a couple hundred would crash the site and keep Chris up all night, force feeding the hamsters NoDoz and cheap bourbon in the hope that a few might keep the phones working, and the networked Palm Pilots serving up pages of Coding GoodnessTM for the masses (us). I was a god among kine, operating from a wireless base running at 2 Mbps, while poor Nish settled for less than 1 kbps in faraway Kerala. Even so handicapped, Nish managed to out-post me at an alarming rate, until I realized that he's really a bot written by some third world outsourced AOL customer support guy who got bored by all the dumb questions he has to answer from idiot users in the US.
I sincerely hope that you 11,975,006 newbies appreciate what this site has become, all for your edification and enjoyment. My undying thanks to Chris, David, Uwe, and all the magnificently talented and dedicated people who have built upon this site an example of what the Web ought to be! Now, could you please do something about the rest of the Internet, please????
Merry Christmas, my friends, and I wish everyone here a wonderful New Year!
I say this early, because I'll be travelling throughout the holiday, and have no idea whether I'll survive it; it's always iffy entering the Peoples' Republic of California.

I retired.
After 10 years of helping to build a primitive electric utility into the most reliable and lowest cost utility in three states, they hired a new GM. For the past year he has spent most of his free time telling me how worthless I am, that everything I've done is wrong, and that he intends to fire me. So I quit. I can't actually afford to retire, but given my probable earnings growth working here ( none) for the next ten years, I won't be in any better financial shape then, just a hell of a lot older and more tired.
I think I'll go to gunsmith school, since I have a dandy machine shop, and love machines. Oh, and I'll probably go back to dabbling in code, now that I have the free time to spend on it. I know of an electric company that needs an efficient inventory control application...
Merry Christmas, all!

Merry Christmas to you too Roger. And I commend your decision, there's little that's worth an abusive manager (or coworker, or spouse, etc.)

Hey Roger! All the best for Christmas and a long and active retirement. I've never been busier than since I retired.
Cheers,

Sorry to hear about the terrible manager - it sounds like the choice you made to quit was a good choice.
Merry Christmas
