Happy Birthday to Ed Hansberry

[Jason Dunn]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/103-7161360-8904647?id=2JZIN6G6CCD3Z' target='_blank'>http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/r...d=2JZIN6G6CCD3Z</a><br /><br /></div>Ed, our resident opinionated flame-bait guy, is having a birthday today. Happy birthday Ed! :bday: I appreciate Ed's contributions to this site a great deal, mostly because the older I get the more mellow I get, while Ed remains just as excitable and opinionated. :lol: Ed's been with Pocket PC Thoughts since 2001, so he's been a core part of this since almost since it's inception. If you'd like to show Ed your appreciation for his work, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/103-7161360-8904647?id=2JZIN6G6CCD3Z">here's his wish list</a> - or you can just use it to have a peek into his psyche. How can anyone who listens to all that mellow female-vocalist music have so much hatred for Bluetooth? :mrgreen:

Have a great day Ed! Happy Birthday. :D

:bday:

Oh, and I get this when I try to view his wish list:

Yes, a very happy birthday to you!

I always like looking at people's wish list (mostly to see what I would want to get in case I overlooked something :wink:), but I'm getting the error message, too. Would you settle for a free copy of Bubble Buster Advanced?

[foebea]

Hats off to you Ed. You are the best at instigating firey debates and keeping us PPCTeers high in all kinds of something or other.

It wouldn't be the same here without you!

Works for me here - both links - so try again...?

[OSUKid7]

Hmm, yeah, both work fine for me too now. Who knows, maybe that Amazon.com programmer was trying something new. :lol:

[Raphael Salgado]

Interesting... NOW it works.

I noticed that the original, posted link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/103-7161360-8904647?id=2JZIN6G6CCD3Z
pauses on my browser, then turns to:http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/104-8110519-5927925?id=2JZIN6G6CCD3Z

Could that have been the problem? I think the long string of numbers is your session ID. In the future, you can just simply give this URL:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?id=2JZIN6G6CCD3Z

I don't know if that loses an affiliate link, but at least it works. Goes the same for some people that post those obnoxiously-long Handango URLs. Cut the 'jid' and practically everything else out except the 'productId' phrase and it'll still work.

Happy Birthday mate! Always enjoy threads where you're at...

[Janak Parekh]

:bday:, Ed. You need to get some more music CDs on that wish list of yours. :P

Happy Birthday Ed! I think we need to start a special forum for "Best Of Ed" Posts!

Enjoy the day, and keep the fiery attitude!

I second the motion. I can't count the number of times your postings have helped me.

:multi: :bday: :multi:

Happy birthday, Ed!

Ed is to PPC what Jeff Kirvin is to PalmOS. That's a good thing, BTW.

Love the books you have on the wish list. I'd buy any or all of those.

Happy Birthday, Ed! Maybe someone will give you a Palm Pilot to help cheer you up today (snicker) ...

Take care and enjoy,
Bruce

[ctmagnus]

Happy birthday! May you one day become enlightened as to the enjoyment of Bluetooth!

(Bluetooth is good, Bluetooth is great.)

[Tim Rapson]

Bonne Aniversare Et toi!

My French is 35 years rusty!

I noted your Amazon wish list includes a copy of Norman Geisler's book, "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist."
I want to recommend that if you ever have a chance to meet this former professor of my class at Dallas Theological Seminary (I didn't graduate) or hear him speak, RUN, do not walk to the event. You will not be disappointed. He is easily one of the ten most amazing people I have ever met.

Today, you are on that list too! Happy Birthday.

Except that Ed is a very mellow guy when you hear him speak. ;) And, of course, in our perspective Ed makes sense. :P

How come you don't like my friend Blue Tooth :(

[Ed Hansberry]

Happy 51st birthday, Ed. :-)

:rotfl: Dude, you are seriously projecting! And to everyone else, many thanks for the good wishes, and the comparison to Jeff Kirvin... I think. 8O :| :? :wink: :lol:

Yeah, I will boldly withdraw it now, before folks think I'm telling the truth. Happy birthday, Ed.

I'm not so sure about that Jeff Kirvin thing though. That's got to leave a bit of a bruise. ;)

:rotfl: Too funny! Hope you have a Happy Birthday Ed, and may all your gadget dreams come true. 8)

[Darius Wey]

Happy Birthday, Ed! You're a top bloke.

And because I know you love 'em, here's a few "cheer-me-ups":

[Iznot Gold]

Happy Birthday Ed.

Not only has Ed been very helpful here on PPCT, I seem to remember in the early days, before I found PPCT, Ed also replying to my early questions on the MS PPC support forums too. A true gent!

Cheers

Sorry I'm a day late - hope you had a fun time.

Don't mellow - unless you are as a child (excitable, opinionated etc.) you cannot enter the Kingdom

[Steven Cedrone]

Happy (belated) Birthday Ed! Hope you had a great day! :way to go:

[Kris Kumar]

Happy Birthday Ed! :bday:

[Jonathon Watkins]

Belated best wishes Ed. :jester:
