I'm a veterinarian specializing in balloon animals. Does that count?

Re: W.h.o.a.

if that translates into adding new features to the site then yes it probably can

Re: W.h.o.a.

are you telling me you would sell [ms] to the big corporationy world for 200 mil?

Re: W.h.o.a.

no, I'm telling you that I love how other websites have easy layouts and easy navigation and I'm pretty tired of modifying a run-of-the-mill forum software to make it as easy as possible to navigate when in reality I'm placing a bandaid over another bandaid without any true resolve.

"The Last.fm team will continue to run the online network under the terms of the deal and work with CBS to apply their community-building and technology expertise to extend CBS businesses online, it said."

Hopefully this will mean that the station will pretty much stay the same. They will probably just get more bandwidth and money to do more promotions.

Re: W.h.o.a.

they'll make CBS money...in the grand scheme of things, it'll be a small percentage, but it's profit nonetheless..

Re: W.h.o.a.

Kamal: I'm a very capable programmer but I've had a few years off. I'm currently keen to get in to php/mysql, but I'm starting from the bottom rung of the ladder again.

If I ever get my groove back I'll be the first to volunteer. But you must split the $200 million with me 50/50
