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.
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 read the paper this morning, well I say read, I can’t actually read, I just look at the pictures and make my own stories up, it’s much more fun.. Except when I saw this, this morning about how giant owls are planning to take over the world, it scared the life out of me, I’ll tell you that for nowt…
ok, your right it’s not winter anymore, but it still ain’t warm is is???
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..
5.30, seriously… sort your heads out…
because there are a few daffodils kicking around don’t make it summer…
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.
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…
My computer @ work died the other day, which is a pain in the butt, as my new computer has an image on it that is about 600 years old.. (It has VB6 on it and that’s about it… only joking.. it’s not that up to date.. only joking again.. or am I???)
So I have lost all my setting in VS2008 (aarrrggghhh!!!)
One of them which I used a lot is ignore whitespace when comparing in TFS (after re-intalling TFS aaarrrggghhh!!! - I’m OK..)
So I thought while I’m going about it, I might as well stick it on here how to do it….
Ok firstly in VS2008 go to Tools > Options
Now navigate through to Source Control >Visual Studio Team Foundation Server… and click on the Configure User Tools button
This button here...
Now you need to say what extensions you want to add this to.. ( I choose .vb, .cs, .xml, .css, and I might add more later but this is ok for now - actually I’m not sure if you can put .* and do all..)
Operation: Compare
Command: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\diffmerge.exe (you may have VS installed somewhere else, if so you need to navigate to diffmerge.exe)
As anyone who knows me knows.. I’m not one for whinging BUT god it’s cold…
I thought i’d got it out of my system in earlier posts, but then it just got colder and colder..
THEN in some cruel twist of fate my boiler packs in…
SO not only am I getting up in a FREEZING cold house, but then I have to get a wash in freezing cold water.. go out into the freezing cold… get on a freezing cold bus, get on a freezing cold train… (we’ve been here before Dazzie P in your winter moan post.. just get on with it.. OK… Sorry..)
Go on laugh it up.. I bet you think it’s funny don’t you, EH??? just think about the kids.. ahh your not laughing now are you???
On a lighter note, bought some febreze, sprayed it all over my coat and it no longer smells of onions, so it’s not all bad eh?
Update: 19/01/2010
Got a plumber out to look at the boiler, he said the PCB had gone and was gonna charge £160 just for the board (he didn’t give a price for fitting but I knew it wouldn’t be cheap), looked on t’internet got a board for £90, got my geeky head on and fitted it myself for nowt… works a treat..
