    Couldn't figure out why a stored proc suddenly started failing after moving a bunch of columns around... Todays lesson is brought to you by the optional column list in the SQL Insert statement. :doh:

      I opened a door, and hit myself in the face. I don't know how it happened.

        I mailed out two packages to customers. Then I discovered too late that I had switched the labels amongst the packages so they are each on their way to the wrong place.

          It was yesterday, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me why I couldn't get ASP.NET forms authentication to work. I kept getting a weird 401.2 error telling me my server was configured incorrectly. I was getting very frustrated because I've used FormsAuth many times before, without issue, on this same box. Then, I remembered that when I first created this site, I removed a bunch of HttpModules that I wasn't using, and, wouldn't you know it, the FormsAuthentication and RoleManager modules were both disabled. Wasted a good 30 minutes trying to figure that one out. :doh:

            I hate it when I do that or start questioning simple words being used to represent something. Like the work 'look'. You know you need a break when you question the spelling of something that simple.

              Well, last night's left over pizza hadn't filled me up and there was this box of Valentines' chocolate... X| I haven't written any code today and I don't plan to, so I should be good on that front.

                        True story... I used to work for a Japanese company, and one of the lead developers was called 'Fukui', pronounced "fu-kew-ee", not "f*ck-U-I" which would have been really great, considering the product! :-D

                                    I misspelled Ammendment Actually the spelling error was a few weeks ago. Today was spent replacing every class, reference and text reference under source control with the correct spelling. It really didn't take more than about 10 minutes but man were there a lot of references.

                                          Spent way too much time trying to figure out why a function I wrote to do Ajax calls was not returning to the specified callback function. It turns out I was enclosing the name in quotes and passing a string (the name of the function) and not a reference to the actual function. :doh:
