And with this, we have passed "The Person Below Me Game" and this thread is now 4th in both most replies and most views. We need a few more pithy posts to firmly establish our lead in replies...get to work, people. We'll hit 3rd most viewed in no time, and the performance people have actually made that easier for us, since they've divided that thread in two: the performance and the critique. So....

Talk, people, talk! Post!! We will also hit 1700 in a matter of posts, too. Lucise, are you planning a banner for us?

ah hahahahaha! I just spent the last hour and a half reviewing our development standards and naming conventions.  All this time Ennis is missing in action and nobody knows where he is, and there ain't nothin I can do about it.

Talk, people, talk! Post!!

Nobody's talkin' 'cause we're all too busy hitting the same key:

I am not always a patient person (yes, sometimes I am)... anyhow right now I like to think about Ellery whipping the sheriff's department into action...a flurry of activity and posting of APBs as everyone looks for Ennis.  I'm confident they'll find him soon... positive thoughts people, positive thoughts.

Something new for the gallery. Ellery has been handing out a lot of these lately, so I thought we'd all like to see his business card.

I was just looking at that business card and thinking how simple it is. A name, phone number, address. No fax, no cell phone number, no email address, no webpage, no AIM, no ICQ, no MSN...

gee guys, sorry... it wasn't my idea for me to have a full day of silly crappy work to do, and it is about 96 degrees here (no, Germans don't believe in air conditioning) and I am on the fourth floor of the software center, and yeah, I sure would rather be writing "Shelter from the Storm" but for those who are hitting the fresh button, I do not expect an update before post-lunch Eastern time.

You will see me online in chat before that occurs.

(Jenny crossing finger hoping there will be some updates on the where about of Ennis today)

Regardless my personal feelings of what happened to Ennis, that was a great ending for Volumn III.  

Louise, if you are still working, just keep in mind that we won't be very productive until you tell us what happened to Ennis.  Poor Ellery is sick worrying now.

LOL, are you ever right, Jenny! It is 11 am and I have done squat. No wait, I designed a business card!

As for the weather, Louise, I think it is hot everywhere. The headline in the paper this morning said, "IT'S A BLAST FURNACE OUT THERE." Of course, the high in Portland yesterday was 83. I have to laugh at what they call a blast furnance. It is hotter today, though. Already up to 90.

Fear not,  Ennis is a big strong guy.   Most likely he'll escape and overtake the kidnappers, then drag them under his arms to the sheriffs dept.!   LOL
