There is a mini series that is currently airing on HBO called "Generation Kill" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995832/
This is a great series thus far, and I highly recommend it. The story feels very realistic, action is great, and dialogue/personalities are about spot on according to various military friends of mine. But beyond all of that, I want to post here just to point out the best character in the show. The Iraqi translator who is in the Marines' unit. I think this character is so awesome because it is more or less our caricature of Nar. He speaks quickly, with an accent using various jargon he's picked up around like "Did you see this dude's passport, it is some pretty wicked **** dude, he is giving jihad as his reason for entry into the country."
Give it a watch, and think of Nar.

Is it too much to ask that the resume site work properly in Firefox? :)

| I could not agree more with the comments on this board. I commend Microsoft for their progress with development tools, C# and Visual Studio are awesome and get better with each version. I've been developing for 15 years and struggled through the DLL hell era with VB, C++ and almost killed myself. Then came C# and Visual Studio 2003. Got better w/ VS2005 and almost Nirvana w/ VS 2008 (minus some SSRS quirks). Ahh, this is how it should be. Now enter SharePoint. Holy ****, ****ryin out loud! I hate SharePoint. There is absolutely no Software Dev process or is their any guidance. Try getting data into SharePoint via the SP Object Model and you will be asking for cyanide pills. I am on the verge of quitting IT again, but realized I just have to leave the SharePoint practice at my company and go back to C#. Downloaded the VS 2008 SharePoint extensions and ran the Solution Generator. It f'ng blew up when I hit Site Definition and clicked Next. Last Straw. God Speed to you developers who choose to suffer with this any further. |
