You are in an experimental drug study and figured out you're in the control group?

Rain.
Just a couple of minutes, but I can already feel the drop of temperature.
(correlation not causation, or maybe causation the other way around? Whatever. I'm sure part of it might even be psychological)

Yes but no but , this is a well-known drug they told me was addicting because of his effective it was.
Well, it helped me get to sleep exactly once, and then I adapted.

And of course, attempting to open the dialog that lets you choose/fix the digital signatures causes Outlook to hard crash.
Good jorb, Microsoft!

I kept scrolling up/down to confirm it wasn't me. And I still flicked the monitor.

Good jorb, Microsoft!According to the Internet, changing the bitniannes of Office without destroying the VBA project (i.e. tearing it down) and then recreating it (i.e. reimporting all the classes/forms) is
Once I did that, Outlook was happy as a freshwater clam again.

Itâs a good thing you hadnât asked, or that response could have been downright unhelpful.

If you pull back a
VARBINARY
column from SQL Server,System.Data.DataTable.DefaultView.ToTable(distinct)
no longer works properly. I expect it's because it won't let me mapVARBINARY
to anything butSystem.Byte[]
and .NET can't compare arrays out of the box.

Status: Fan blown off. Problem is, I'm not sure which fan is counting as "FAN1". Pretty sure that's the rear fan, which was spinning just fine.
Meanwhile, on another server far far away...
This one's FAN2 is apparently dying.
So, one server the fan is spinning too fast, the other, not enough.... Maybe I should switch them or something?

My son has left for work, so I don't need to. However, I've also had no particular reason to remove them since he left. Did I remove them just to make this post? It's a mystery!

Not necessarily, but I want to know whether the herring was fried before pickling, and whether there was any orange involved in the pickling liquor before deciding whether it's a good idea. I like many types of pickled herring, but very much not all of them (including the traditional forms in Britain).

OMG no, why would you do that. That's sacrilege.
Vinegar, onions, cured herring. The only correct way.

Touring thru the hinterland yesterday, I found a rather dry meadow on a stony hill, with interesting plants and insects. Some big ants (Formica rufa) were walking along. I let one of them crawl on my finger and then ate it. The most tastiest ant since long time! Great! More of them fell victim to my appetite. I'll return to that place with the tasty ants.
:burp:
