The Lounge

In 1978, "Adventure" was the first game I ran on my (then) newly built Heathkit H8 computer -- built while I was an undergrad at a regional campus of Purdue. It's been so long that I can't remember where I got the executable that ran it. I'm not sure if I bought it or if it was freeware from some "dial-up" BBS downloaded at 300 baud on my acoustic coupler modem. Ever since I first set up my home Wi-Fi ages ago, its SSID has been "XYZZY." I'm quite sure none of my neighbors get the reference. I feel so old. Of course, that's because... I am old. ;)

The contract has two months left, at a minimum I assume I won't stay on. I've already interviewed with someone who expects to hire in Jan

Might be "Drop Da Bass".

Now you're just being a child. VS has--literally--millions of users, and it's often the *only* tool that will work - for example - with the latest .NET release. You think people will forego its use just because it doesn't work offline as well as it could?

bryanren wrote: Rabbit holes - Making and watching makers One I find fascinating is Allen Millyard. He builds his own 'bikes and engines out of other 'bikes and engines - mostly Kawasaki but others, too - in his home garage using hand tools and a couple of machines. So he has built a V12 out of a pair of Z1300 straight sixes, lots of straight sixes out of fours, a V-twin out of part of an aero engine, a V10 bike with a Dodge Viper motor ... you get the idea.

Maybe a slider control could be useful. Edit: I see it's already been suggested, and you already have one :)

I'm fine, just busy on things. >watches another deadline flying past< veni bibi saltavi
