Someone broke in while we were gone for 30 minutes and stole a bunch of stuff. It could have been much worse, but these things I will miss:
- IBM Thinkpad T43 Laptop - with a giant black pirate-fish decal on it. This had a LOT of FSM-related stuff that was in progress. I had a lot of stuff backed up, but it’s all older versions.
- Nkon D200 DSLR Camera with Nikkor 18-200mm VR Lens. It was less than 2 weeks old. Any pictures taken with it will have my name and email in the exif metadata.
If anyone comes across the above items by some chance, let me know please. I have the serial numbers.
Remember to back up your work frequently, and keep the backup somewhere else.

In the US, Sunday is the first day of the week. Saturday is the last.”
.
It all depends on which US you live in.
In the US of America, Monday is the first day of the week.
Otherwise you wouldn’t start your school and work week on Monday.
Which US are you in?

@Wallace - Then why is Sunday the first day in each row of days on a calendar?

Silly typo is all.
What do you call “weekends” (Friday Saturday) or (Saturday Sunday)?
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Saturday and Sunday are the week ends. Sunday is at the front end. Saturday is at the back end.
.
“Silly typo is all.”
It certainly is, when every calendar in the US starts with Sunday.

Damn son! Hold your ground! hahaha
Monday STARTS the week!!!
Get with the program already!

According to the Wiki. article on Sunday most countries adopted the practice of making it the last day of the week in the mid 20C.
.
This in no way affects the outcome of my calculations as the conspiracies they reveal were written in the early 17C by the Bavarian Illuminate. Friday was definitely the 6th day them :)
Sunday is most definitely the first day of the week.
And I’m the pope damnit, so what I say counts!

@Wallace -
Why did my French teacher tell me that the first day of the week is Monday in France, in contrast to Sunday in America? Why did my father tell me it was Sunday, after I told him I thought it was Monday (I was probably seven years old)?
.
My mom, her friend, my grandma, and my grandpa all agree that Sunday is the first day of the week.
Pixel, as always you’re lost! hehehe

Artie, taking a Frenchmans word isn’t very bright!

Besides, my theme song proves it!

What’s your point?
MONDAY STARTS the week, FRIDAY ENDS the week.
SATURDAY and SUNDAY, are WEEKEND DAYS!

I rest my case! Endo storyo!

The Pope said the first day of the week is Sunday.
The God of Satire said the first day of the week is Sunday.
The God’s Mom said it was Sunday.
The God’s Grandma said it was Sunday.
The God’s Grandpa said it was Sunday.
So far, five sources of Authority and Power have said Sunday is the first day of the week.

Go Authority!
“MONDAY STARTS the week, FRIDAY ENDS the week.”

Then Friday is the weekend?
“FRIDAY ENDS the week.”

I’m thoroughly offended by that! As a matter of fact, I’m almost never lost.

How bout this: Sunday is a day, similar to all other days, only slightly different in that Sunday preceeds all the other days, and is preceeded by all the days of the previous week. There’ll probably be arguing about it for years, Sunday is a christian day, so it isn’t even that great. Why are we even arguing, though I do think that Sunday is the first day of the week, it’s the first one on the calendar, and that’s damned well good enough for me!
Unless we’re using the Mayan calendar, or the Chinese one…

In my pocket diary, the week starts on Monday.
The Christian argument is internally inconsistent. God worked for 6 days and then rested.
According to Genesis Chapter 1, the universe started on a Monday.
What do you people want?
This whole Saturday is one end and Sunday the other making up the weekend is also faulted.
We don’t call it the weekends. It’s just a long end on the week.
