    You're thinking waaay too logically here. This document obviously exists in a Twilight Zone where logic has been suspended.

    1. Notes Mail supports sort by subject in the default design. You just click on the Subject column. (True in Notes 7 as well as the current Notes 8.)

    If it takes you 7 versions to get sort by subject in your mail client, you're doing it wrong.

    3. You know that a focus-stealing dialog box is only one of the available options for notifying you of new mail, right? I mean, other mail clients have a focus-stealing dialog option too.

    No one reasonable has the sound unmuted at work. The other choice is to raise an icon in the system tray. Yeah, that's noticeable.

    Breath? Do you mean Breathe? They are different words! Different parts of speech, even.
    OUCH ! Guilty as charged - good catch. I pride myself on my good English; I plead temporary insanity or incipient senility.
    AMerrickanGirl:
    That's a total pet peeve of mine. "Breath" vs "breathe". That along with "lose" and "loose".
    ...and feral apostrophe's (sic).

    i'm currently working off a 13 sheet excel project plan. it uses 11 different background colours, one for each resource. i'm pink *twinkle*

    "I don't want to be Mr. Pink!"

    As I believe I mentioned, in rather more detail above, you really, really do want to be Mr Pink.

    Walking away, humming something different to myself:

    "You used to think that it was so easy You used to say that it was so easy But you're tryin' You're tryin' now Another year and then you'll be happy Just one more year and then you'll be happy But you're cryin' You're cryin' now"

    ... and that serves you right for not reading through the thread first.

    Damn!

    But yeah, if that filing cabinet had been made of wood, they wouldn't have had this problem. Duh!

    I do call BS on this. Programmers (he is talking to a Programmer!) that don't know that writing on a piece of paper is not the same as updating any on-line database is inconceivable.

    For less computer literate folks 'maybe' but a programmer, never.

    Also, reading the handwritten note as 03/03/06 would probably be more accurate.

    BarbarianHunter:
    the date on the handwritten note is 2/3/06 the date on the printout is 2/6/06.

    ergo: shenanigans!

    How did the handwritten note predate the printout it is written on?

    You may want to compare the date on the top and the bottom of the printout, according to which 2006-02-06 == 6/02/2006 which is thus before 2/03/2006 == 2006-03-02.

    Uh, the handwritten note looks like '3/3/06' to me ...

    Feral apostrophe? Where? You mean the contraction of the words "that" and "is"?

    Actually the fuzzed out URL looks like http://bugzilla.xxx.com.au/ to me (the xxx could be anything) where D/M/Y dates make sense.

    Also useful clue: the timezone is marked as WST, and the only such timezone appears to be Australia's Western Standard Time, as applied in Perth, and the remainder of Western Australia. (Source Wikipedia and time and date.com)

  • Matthew Watson (unregistered) in reply to DribbleDropper

    Yeah looks like the dates are dd/mm/yy format (except for the yyy-mm-dd ISO one!)
