Oh Vaaska,

I actually use hageslag on my sandwiches hmmm..

Yep, just like the picture on the box. I should take a picture of this.

Oh, and we found some "American Buns" recently at the grocery store. Best I can tell they are a cross between sloppy joes and piroshki with a rather odd bolognese twang to them. If I was anything but American my gf wouldn't have given them a second thought. Yeah, I know...

No, definitely want the null one. I've used it time and time again, but for some reason today I just can't think of what they hell it is.

Terrible kludge:

echo NUL >&2 2>foo.txt

obtains a similar result (foo.txt becomes empty). However, as you can see, it doesn't really do the equivalent of cat /dev/null > foo on 'Nix...for one thing, your terminal will echo "NUL".

"NUL" is supposed to be the Windows equivalent to /dev/null ... but for some reason WinXP doesn't want to let me access it...it'd be nice if Windows had a real shell like tcsh or bash . . .

never used it, but, here. bash for windows

Cheers NUL was what I was looking for. I've used it to exec stuff and get php to run straight past, and last night was sick of forgetting where to edit the dreamweaver config files every time I need to add a new type, as I want .cgi to be highlighted as php. I put this in a bat file, but both windows won't kick off at once:

"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" "C:\winFiles\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml" > nul 2>&1

"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad" "C:\Documents and Settings\s\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\Extensions.txt" > nul 2>&1

Any idea if I can get it to not wait for the first one to close?

Tried "&" between calls? That's the UNIX way.

Generally I have to get up and walk to a system to play with Windows....

"Yeah, but she's a bit bobfoc" was doing the rounds about a year ago. BOBFOC means

Body off Baywatch, Face off Crimewatch

Crimewatch is a show with CCTV and crime reconstructions where you phone in to say if you can help, not one of these tacky "When Bears Don't Use Their Indicators" sort of things.

EDIT: Roger's Profanisaurus is a good place to start learning British filth.
