Yep. From the second image (the close-up) one can instantly tell that
you're not him, but from the first image one could be misleaded.

I think neither.

Same here. It's a good look on you, Andy.

I think my wife might object. ;-) Still, that doesn't mean we can't go
out for that beer/Dr. Pepper when I get over there next time. It's just
proving to take us longer to get there because of the economy and our
finances...

If the social experiment has to do with dating, it's a perfectly valid
use for your time.

Well - if they know you and they know you do good work -- why would they care
one way or the other what you're wearing? I will admit that my *expectations*
of someone's performance *might* be colorable by their choice of attire; but
once I know what to expect from someone -- why would I pay any further
attention to their outfits?

That's usually a good way to distract someone from social experiments at the
workplace, yes... ;-)

Some companies (and managers) do care. When we're in the office working
where I work, my team is expected to not be wearing jeans, shorts, t-
shirts, etc. "Professional dress code" is ours. But others on other
teams in my building have a different standard.
Another reason I like working from home.

So have you asked if she would like to join you at the next Haskell user
group meeting, or a Sunday brunch at a cafe by the park, yet?

Well, I tried this, and it seems to be working. (Or at least being
noticed...) Every Friday I come dressed down. Yesterday somebody
mentioned it.
Ah yes, that was fun... Yesterday I walked into the tearoom, and one of
the girls looked at me and hung her head in her hands, *crying* with mirth.
For about 10 minutes.
Apparently my trousers are too short. Well, whatever. Anyway, the girl
next to her complained that I should wear something more trendy, and the
first girl says "oh, he does a dress-down Friday every week".
So apparently I'm not as invisible as I thought. Well anyway, I'm
dressed down today, and second girly seemed to approve. (Hey, just
walking into the tearoom and got getting laughed at was good enough for
me...)

Well take that as an opportunity to buy some proper-length ones and then ask
her if they are better. That lets her know that you are paying attention to
her.
