Just had a strange SQL problem I’ve never had before..
I’ve moved onto a new project and took a back up of the database and put it on my local PC and when I came to run my code against it I got this error…
INSERT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: ‘ARITHABORT’.
I’m not a DBA I’m a programmer so I have no idea what this means, but if I get it again I know the following code will fix it…(which is nice)
ALTER DATABASE [DB_NAME] SET ARITHABORT ON GO

Anyone fancy a bit of cat exhumation???
No? Me neither, problem is, I have no choice in the matter.
I had this fun task to do yesterday.
Our cat died nearly 3 years ago and was buried in the front garden, and not long ago we decided that cutting the grass was a pain in the arse and we are a pair of idle gits, so we’ll concrete the front garden…
Fantastic idea, but this meant we would have to move the cat (he isn’t very deep and would get dug up anyway when we lay the concrete).
I was hoping he would still all be in one piece and I could pick him up and take him round to the back garden… wrong, I was finding the odd bone here and there, it was horrible.
Not a pleasant job

I took my 2nd black belt not long ago. Just to clarify, not my 2nd dan, my second 1st dan (I have one in Karate and now one in Tae Kwon Do).
Now we have that straight I’ll continue…
I have been doing TKD for about 5 years (or 4 years, can’t remember when I started), under Graham Lamberts TKD centres of excellence
And here I am getting my belt and certificate from the big man (Graham or Sir as we call him)
Me and the boss
and another pic of me doing an axe kick…
Not bad for an old man..

A friend of mine (well he was, but probably won’t be after he reads this), made the funniest balls up ever yesterday.
Don’t worry, I won’t reveal your name…
He works for a website who sell tickets online.. (I aint gonna mention their names either…) and he was doing some security dev last night, and not realising he was connected to the LIVE site, sent out 1000s of emails to users of the site saying that their passwords have been changed to Pissflaps.
Brilliant mate… Nice one, it’s the funniest thing I have heard in ages…

I got on my bus at 5.30 this morning… most normal people don’t even know there is a 5.30 in a morning.. and this is another thing I like to bitch about… (but I digress)…
5.30…. and the windows on the bus were open… at 5.30 on a cold frosty morning..

As it’s valentines day today, it got me thinking about a little rant I have had quite recently regarding a school that has banned valentines day cards been given out as they didn’t want to upset the ugly kids who won’t be getting any… again.
Seriously…
In my opinion this is gonna make matters worse. Kids need to get used to rejection, it’s dam good for them.
In that case they should ban doing games and picking leaders, then letting them choose their teams…
THIS is what you call true rejection, when you are in the last 2 every time, and then the person picking says “you can have Dazzie P, I’ll take the fat, blind 1 legged kid”…
THEN you know what proper rejection feels like. I got this all way through school and it hasn’t done me any harm.
OK I may have burned a few schools down in the past, but that wasn’t me, that was the voices.. “NOW LEAVE ME ALONE AND PUT SOME PANTS ON!!!”

I’d say the answer is not VB if I had a choice to be honest…
But never mind…
I’m currently working on a new MVC app, and my MVC knowledge is pretty low, and I have just spent about an hour looking through the interwebs for how to add a class to the HTML.TextBox Helper..
If I had been doing this in C#, I would have got my answer from the first page I looked at…
C#
<%=Html.Password("txtPassword", null, new { @class = "required"})%>
VB
<%=Html.Password("txtPassword", Nothing, New With {.class = "required"})%>
for the love of all things shiney, it drives a man to drink so it does..
