Strange emails

I just read post about Stupid emails and it reminded me of an email I got the other day for ProjectPhotos.com from someone in India

We at Companyname would wish to utilise your products on a regular basis and hence request your goodselves to kindly send us the complete details of all your products and services by sending us your complete brochures and samplers CDs etc. if any, along with the complete details i.e. price lists for varied Image CDs in different categories at the earliest and oblige.

The email goes on in a similar fashion. and finishes

Awaiting a favourable response Looking forward to a long and fruitful
association. In the meantime thanking you in anticipation, we remain,

I don’t sell the photos on Projectphotos so I am not quite sure what to do with the email. It sat in my inbox for a few days then I let it slip into the read folder……

Cooking, what me !!!!

Ok I started with pizza dough for pizza tomorrow then I thought I would try scones again, last time they failed horribly this time wasn’t much better I burnt them 🙁 but the mushroom soup was excellent 🙂 I am still eating it at the moment

Todays bike ride

Stats:
Distance: 28.92 miles,
Ride time: 2:25:42
Avg speed: 11.9
Max 29 miles per hour
Total miles: 595
The real total miles is a lot higher, but I changed odometers a while back and the new one wouldn’t let me bump the millage. I found the old one but the battery was dead so I guess I will never know the total miles. Its somewhere in the range of 2000 miles

Maybe I should say where I went, Gallows Road to Wo&D trail, to curtis trail to the Mall in Washington DC. 🙂

I love this song, las temporadas by big sky,

Scotland ….summer time ….. freezing
Scotland ….summer time ….. raining
Scotland ….summer time …..

I haven’t been able to make out the last one yet 🙂

I listened to the scottish CD I bought in the car while driving to see Ghostbusters. I have decided that I like it. There are a couple tracks that I don’t like but the rest is growing on me.

Is this supposed to make my life easier?

Some times I wonder about our CM (change management?) system. I have one document I want to add, “sorry you don’t have the role to do that”. So I move onto updating some scripts but do I create a TDR or and ER?, response oh an ER. So I now have my ER, but I still can’t do any work on it since someone else has to approve it, so my computer is filling up with -temp files until I can get the CM system to allow me to check out my code so I can edit it. Then there is the little problem of not being allowed to load a file with the same name twice in different projects…… I am sure this is supposed to make my life easier but I am getting to the point of doing my development on my local machine and only checking in files when I am finished but kind of defeats the purpose of using CM.

I have finally gotten close to finishing an other page for projectphotos. I want to have a show case of my favorite photos that are online, normally you need to create a loggin before you can see them. I like to know who is looking at the photos:) I should go sleep now
