Which is your favorite mapping software? On the day trip to Windsor Castle, everyone found out the Buka loves Goggle Maps. It was funny that the directions from Goggle made us go in circles (literally). We drove past the ‘Pink Castle’, and the same running dog at least twice (if not more times)….until we had to stop to [...]

Simply- if(DateTime.Now.Day == 18 && DateTime.Now.Month == 7) this.Age++; The geeks out there will probably know what is happening here. Non-geeks can try and probably figure it out (or better yet, grab a geek to help)

Arrived at London Gatwick about 45 minutes early (yeahh). Took almost 2 hours to clear immigration – long lines at passport control (booo). Immigration/passport control guy was so rude and unsmiling – it was almost a mean ‘Welcome to England’ scenario. We cleared through the guy in less than 5 minutes, though he found it [...]
