Provided it doesn't go like this: http://www.jsquared.co.uk/jennyl/verity.htm (case A), I don't mind the idea of a code review. In fact, it would be nice not to be greeted by utter indifference, for a change. I'm quite happy to present my code to the knowledgeable, once I've had a chance to wash its face and comb its hair. I just don't want to talk to anybody while I'm trying to get it dressed.

I'm having my hair attacked tomorrow for the Terry Fox Foundation Great Canadian Hair Do. I've been offered donations and sponsorship for a red/pink mohawk, but feel free to suggest alternatives with a donation. Last time I went for the shave. It is funding to a good cause, and I promise to post and tweet pics. I don't promise to keep it intact until the next meeting, unless I really like it. You can sponsor me at: http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=2060395. It's all kicking off tomorrow in the MaRS atrium between noon and 1pm.
