Microsoft, with billions in cash cannot do VS2008 work, what does you to think that you will do? :rolleyes:

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.

If you don't ask questions the answers won't stand in your way.
Doing a job is like selecting a mule, you can't choose just the front half xor the back half so when you ask me to do a job don't expect me to do it half-assed.The best thing about programming is that if you misspell a word and are consistent you just have another variable, albeit with a strange name. :-D

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:

I always leave debug = "true". I get better error messages from my error handler if it is set to true. 99% of the time I get the exact line number of code that caused an exception.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

I didn't do it today, but the result showed up this morning. Months ago, when I was designing a new substation, I took elements of other designs and adopted them for this station, especially areas in which I have no training or experience - steel and concrete, in particular. Having a perfectly functional substation at hand a few miles away that uses similar steel structures, I made the assumption that similar foundations would be adequate. Wrong. It rained more this past week than in the previous two years combined. This morning one of the linemen went down to the site to check on things and reported that one corner had subsided about a foot from its origianal elevation and the whole structure is now skewed. I can't verify it, since I don't have a vehicle capable of reaching the site until the ground dries out considerably, but this individual is known to look at things darkly. It may not be that large a problem, but I won't know until I can get out there with a laser and shoot some bearings and levels. But it's a worry. Fortunately the boss is in DC, attending some conference with the new administration there about energy policy and tribal resources, so I don't have him here jumping up and down in a panic. One thing you never want to do is inform your boss of a problem without having a solution in the other hand. Even if he doesn't like it, it's far better to have something to present than to appear empty handed... makes him feel like he's got to solve it, and nobody wants that. Since the individual piers are only about 3000 lbs (7' deep x 2' dia.) I'll propose that we excavate the problem child with a backhoe, lift and reposition it with a line truck hoist, and backfill with rock. Then we'll bond the piers together in pairs with concrete pads, 4' x 20' by 2' deep that completely encase the top 2' of two piers in each pad. That will reduce the soil bearing load from about 1275 psf to only 350 psf, which should be easily carried by even this nasty clay soil. Of course the linemen will hate on me for it, since they'll have to take apart most of what they built a couple of weeks ago to make this work. They don't seem to realize that the boss spends a lot of time trying to think of things for them to do, rather than lay a couple off. I'm just doing my part to help keep them employed. :-D Dumb? Yeah. It was dumb to allow the boss to direct me to do something I'm totally unqualified by training and experience to do. It was dumb to put up with him refusing to review the design, and him dema

That is one of my pet peeves, incorrect spelling in a database.
xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support
IronScheme - 1.0 beta 2 - out now!
((lambda (x) `((lambda (x) ,x) ',x)) '`((lambda (x) ,x) ',x))just tried red-gates smart replaced to change a field/column name, admittedly on a small DB under development. Works fine EXCEPT for dynamic code.

Left my shiny new notebook in the car while I was buying some bread. Twelve minutes later I found someone broke the window, reclined the backseat and stole the notebook bag. Luckily it was covered by insurance...

"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844
