Twitter, who do you follow?? -
Solo developer rantMany years ago I was employed to support a sprawling access application that had been written by a subject expert who taught themselves database development from a book. Fortunatly they knew their business domain. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to write a maintainable application. The whole thing was a mess and it had lots of similar issue to your current ones. Constantly changing feature list, large user base, conflicting requirements (user A wanted something that would prevent user B from doing something vital, etc). They way I dealt with it was to break it down into small deviverable projects. Push the complex ones to the end and ensure that refractoring acheived something visible to users - I.E. something they would notice. I'm very happy I don't have to do that sort of thing any more, but it taught me that managing expectations is just as important as writing code, especially if you are going solo.

Trophy HuntingWhile I mostly agree with you, one bit is not quite true.

Wild animals hunt for food or to save themselves. They do not hunt for "fun".
Polecats, ferrets, foxes and lots more preditors have been known to hunt and kill for no reason that can be thought of as survival. I have no real problem with hunting as long as you are going to eat what you catch. Shooting Lions and other big cats is just madness.

Iron SkyWas mostly fun, but I thought the ending was a bit weak. Awesome Inglorious Bastards spoof in the PR company though. I wish more B movie sensibility would creep back into films. Charactor development is for chick flicks.

HiFi questionsGo to a hifi shop and ask questions is the best advice I can think of. I have similar requirements (along with something to play vinal on) and can recommend NAD gear, but there is lots out there. There's also lots of hifi groups that can (and will) give heaps of good advice.

Dropping KP - what do English CPians think?Not very popular in Australia at the moment either. We can deal with not being the best, just not with loosing to England.

Dropping KP - what do English CPians think?Had to think about this myself, but I assume it's Kevin Pietersen.[^]. Couldn't get a game in SA, so went to blighty.

String.Format - I'm sure there must be a worse way to do this.Got your insert right here.
// Format month
var sbMonth = new StringBuilder();
sbMonth.Append(month);
if (month.Length == 1)
{
sbMonth.Insert(0, "0");
}I'm sure if the genius who wrote this was aware of Insert and string builders, it would have been used. Can't complain too much. At least the code actually produces the required outcome. I can't always claim that. :)

String.Format - I'm sure there must be a worse way to do this.// Format month
var sbMonth = new StringBuilder();
if (month.Length == 1)
{
sbMonth.Append("0");
}
sbMonth.Append(month);Awesome! I knew there was another method missing! :)

String.Format - I'm sure there must be a worse way to do this.I'm a bit surprised there isn't an embedded String.Concatenate call in there as well.
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
// Get year, month, and day
string year = dt.Year.ToString();
string month = dt.Month.ToString();
string day = dt.Day.ToString();// Format month
if (month.Length == 1){ month = "0" + month; }// Format day
if (day.Length == 1){ day = "0" + day; }string DocumentName = string.Format("Application - [{0}] - " + year + month + day, this.Person.RegistrationNo.ToString());
I'm thinking that there is a ToString() call missing just before the final ; too. Oh - and this one too.
TRIMSDK.Location trimLocation = trimLocation = trimManager.FindLocationFromNickname(string.Format("{0}", this.Person.RegistrationNo.GetValueOrDefault(0).ToString()));
I think I need a Rum! :wtf:
