So what's this hockey thing I'm attending? I think there are at least five FT attendees now. ;)

Good afternoon, Box. Now that my phone issues are mostly resolved, I'm building the CSV file from hell to import my contacts. Good times.

Also, I welcome an EWR-land Do or something like it since I would likely be able to attend.

Does the Blackberry Desktop Manager help at all (old phone and/or new phone)?

There's always the back-burnered idea of Box Trivia Night.

A non-golfing attorney? I didn't think the factory made that model anymore.

ETA - would have been nice if I posted this correctly in teh first place.

Speaking of which. What days are people currently planning on travel into/out of PRG and through which airports?

All winter fares to Europe are still extremely :rolleyes:, so I don't know what cities I will be arriving/departing. My best guess is that I'll arrive somewhere in Germany on Friday morning and leave PRG on Monday morning.

I believe the bulk of activities (meaning binge drinking and behaving irresponsibly) are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, though some or many may be arriving on Friday. Most have not booked tickets yet, as winter fare sales have not really begun in earnest.

I think we'll do the same order of events we had in BRU - dinner followed by some pubs and karaoke (:D) on Saturday and sightseeing on Sunday.

It does indeed, as that was the method I used to first determine what the CSV format was for this particular device, and then to load the file onto the device once I was done. I'm not using my phone with a system like Blackberry Enterprise Server or my company's Exchange server so I don't have an external contact storage unit except for a CSV file on my computer. It seems to work very well, though I had to do it twice as I fat fingered a comma and threw all the entries out of whack.

I keep personal contacts on the phone and work contacts in Exchange - I like life that way. I also disconnected my Blackberry from the Exchange server after the change in position; I'm not on call 24 hours a day so I don't need to see e-mails 24 hours a day.

Enough MyPoints to redeem for a decent BP Gift Card. Nice.

Hand wedge - some days, the best club in my bag.

25 years later, this still happens every day at the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas.

I am also proficient with the cleat wedge - the tip of the shoe planted firmly underneath and slightly behind the ball creates straight flight and just enough backspin to usually land the ball back in the fairway.

sbm12 is also fond of getting 40-yard favorable bounces off of trees, and rolov tends to bounce balls off of flagsticks...

Yeah, it is really embarrassing.:o For most of my attorney years, I was at work, so I did not have a lot of time to get on the course.:rolleyes:

Story time .... I am about 19 and out playing a round. I am taking some practice swings on a hot summer, sunny day. Of course, I put some sun tan lotion and forget to wipe/dry my hands down. Well, I swing the club, and all of a sudden, the club disappeared ..... I had no clue what happened. I lift my eyes to the sky and there is club shooting into the heavens.:o I had enough time to casually walk away from where I was standing as it fell to Earth. Yes, I am the world's worst attorney golfer.:D
