Now is not the time to which I was referring. I defy you to reliably pull off that trip 2-3 months from now, during the aforementioned spray season.

unfortunately we are on the cusp of the primary spray season when it starts to rain/snow heavily. bad weather for climbing, not enough snow for skiing. a simple equation: 0% tuffy-tuff + 0% jib = 100% insanity.

Can't be denied that there is a pervasive one-upmanship on this site. Perhaps it can push people to do great climbing, but the elitism can get hard to handle at times. MtnHigh's trip reports were some of the best and he's a great guy to climb with. The perceived negativity is unfortunate. Do other people feel this way?

this is true.

That's a pain, I don't think there are built-in regular expressions for modifying text in that way, you would need to do a script. If you have a perl install on your system and the DBD for MS SQL you could use the above to do the swap (putting in the sql commands instead of standard input). If need be, I could potentially do this from my unix setup here (I would have to hunt down the ms sql stuff, and you would have to trust me with access to your db, if your firewall allows), or you could dump all the data as a tab-delimited text file, run it through perl or something else to do the text swap, then do a load data back into the database. Or you could email me the txt file and I could do this.

are the first, last, and middle initial in seperate defined fields, or is this one field?

here's one way to do it: #!/usr/bin/perl while (<STDIN>) { chomp; $_ =~ s/(.+\b)(.+\b)(.+)/$3, $1 $2/; }

those photos are blurry. I thought I was looking at the zapruder film

I think you can sue anyone you want to, unless I'm mistaken?

My guess is the replacement structure would not survive this assault either.

I bet he couldn't even climb a 5.13 sport route

hmm spending friday nights watching pbs reruns of python. jeezus robbob you are worse-off than I thought

unfortunately I am in a contract with my sponsor AmazingCo. and cannot violate it by using the tough, yet mildly-humourous, sensitive, and disarming t-rex image. If you understand what I am talking about above you are spending way too much time on this site.

what is this, masterpiece theatre?

'scuse me? LOL!

The High Life trailer for TGR looks sick. At some point parachutes will be needed to film those things.

pretty sure I will never do that.

now that's thinking outside the box. my petunias are wilting from lack of nourishment. I would think my climbing sponsor Monsanto would have put in a little something, you know, for the effort.

I know, I have to kill at least 4 of 'em to get a decent chunk of flesh to sew up but you can't make an omelette w/o waxing a few eggs with lead

heh that's a cunning move Apple has made. The iTunes music store is a trojan horse to get PC users to buy iPods. The iPods are trojan horses to get people to buy Macs. The music store will eventually be available to PCs. iTunes the app kicks ass though, too bad it is not for PCs, doubt it ever will be. Apple's not making jack on the music store yet despite the massive downloads, but it's only a matter of time. when it opens up for PC users, they are going to cash in.
