Hi everyone, my name is Nicole and I am a code magpie. There, I have admitted I have a problem but I am sure that the code will come in handy some time... well maybe not code for Access 97. OK, perhaps I do need to clean up a little! At least I only have one junk drawer in the kitchen! Oh, wait I have numerous drawers in my bedroom and ... Oh well perhaps October really is the month of garbage collection. Lucky we (Australians) have a long weekend this weekend! Yippee!

Cheers,

Nicole Bowman

PASS: The big name thing we tell our bosses we're going to for our hidden agendas... Code Magpie's Anonymous. Remember, meetings are at 8, 10, and 12, both days.

Cheers,

With you there, Nicole! As an Aussie, you would know a few of us have Sheds. For the uninitiated, these are large devices designed to contain the tsunami of stuff, with a roof to keep off the rain. Mine is approx 4mx2mx2.5m, and chokkers, even after a recent clean-out. Not a good enough place to store all those CDs with old code (Access 97 included, dBase3, clipper, an install disks for NT4, SQL server 7 and the like...), those are inside in a cupboard. And this Labour day, I have no intention of exploring either.

Ever heard that nice explanation about Junk and Stuff?

Stuff is junk that you can't throw out, junk is stuff that you can.

Junk drawer(s), junk box(es), junk shed(s), junk garage(s), junk storage unit(s), junk house(s)...

There's therapy for this, right? And a TV show... :hehe:

Here there be dragons...,

You're probably right. But what hope is there for code magpies when there are such enablers as 1TB external hard drives?:ermm:

My "code magpie" tendencies are limited by my obsession with always having backups of everything--so a 1Tb external drive would be fine, but I'd need another one to keep a copy of what's on the first one!
