Time For Working Vacation & Random ThoughtsJuly 9th, 2007 After we complete an outsourcing effort for a F 500 and wrap up dispatching all the upgrades for Translator 5.0, we will collectively go for a period of "working vacation" lasting about 2 months or so. What is a "working vacation"?
My definition of "working vacation" is when we tie all the loose ends, upgrade infrastructure, hire new employees and train them, setup few additional dedicated servers (any recommendation?), switch web server, fix and add features to Comment Guard plugin for future release, setup 24/7 site and server backup, prototype new ideas, develop spike solutions etc.

I agree with you in every aspect but u must understand their had to be a little base-ness in voldemort’s personality and/or intelligence or else he would be an omnicient type of villain that would never be defeated
Thanks for the referral to another book i need a new series to follow now that J K Rowling is done with this one (maybe?).

I think Harry Potter has turned from being a children’s book to a teenage/adult book as the character Harry has grown.
J.K Rowling’s version of the villain Lord Voldemort is a very realistic description of a callous killer. People who think of themselves as indestructible often overlook things and the way the character Lord Voldemort is oblivious to matters of love makes perfect sense as he has never loved or been loved.
