The day is saved! Great issue again Pete!

Happy birthday man! What day? (this is a fork birthday loaded week, me, my friend, my other friend's girlfriend, now you).

Glad to see one of my submissions topped a list, even if the list was given in no particular order...

Great, I especially liked the random algorithms article, it was ammusing.

That's what I'm trying to figure out - me and 2 other people on the same forum (and it's not a very big forum) all have July 24th as a birthday. The closest thing I can think of is Halloween, although that's a very wierd time to be making babies.

It's only weird if you're a conservative or a fundie.

meh, a holidays a holiday... Kinda cool to be conceived in the Night when the Dead cross over...

matt stops thinking about parents fork.

Thanks Jacob, Figure it was a good time to write something like this especially for this interested in learning to make their own gui. if you want, you're more than welcome to publish it somewhere on your website .

I just worked it out though, and in order to be born in the last week of July, you'd have to be conceived around mid-october, not the end, unless you're 2 weeks early.

Although often sometimes if he's the first born, it happened alot that the first born is a week or two late

Great, I'll put it up right away

Great issue, Pete!
I'm still reading.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank MystikShadows for his kind words about my tutorial on Data Validation Implementation on QB Express issue #11.

In issue #12, I particularly enjoyed MystikShadows' part 1 of a tutorial on Database Design. Having dwelled on the subject for years, I can appreciate his gift for presenting the salient facts without getting into much of the gory details. Great job! I can't wait for part 2.
