i'm surprised you are still awake with those in you.... :impressed:
Depends on how long he's been taking it and what his tolerance is. I occasionally take Benadryl for insomnia and it quits working after two consecutive days, at least on me.
-
Chuckles All depends - it's an on-again-off-again sort of thing, my reading (of this forum). At some point I need to get back into /t/1000 and catch up on my likes there too

You aren't the only one looking through old stuff.

Eh, Benadryl only knocks me out when it starts wearing off. Zyrtec has little effect...
lucky bastard. both of those knock me right on my tails.

Benadryl never makes me sleepy. It actually makes me feel a little wired. I definitely cannot take it before bed. It makes my legs restless.

Try Safeway brand benadryl.

Status: suddenly had an intense urge to know who would win in a Batman vs Mario battle. Found out it was already in my search history.
-
I'd guess Mario, if Batman isn't the Green Lantern at the time.

The contract position I interviewed for on Monday is with a client that is, apparently, notoriously slow, even for contractors. The one I interviewed for today, I didn't expect quick feedback.
FML. The face-to-face interview I had scheduled for the end of the month just said, "Don't bother. Send us an update when you know about the other possible offers, and we'll let you know if we're still interviewing for this position."

They don't generate enough black ones. I like black ones.
-
Yikes. At least they had the courtesy to tell you they're about to fall asleep, instead of having you call them on a weekly basis for a couple of months until you get tired of doing it.
-
It could go like this: Batman sneaks behind Mario and grabs him. Mario immediately dies because someone touched him. Batman is traumatized from having killed someone (no matter how ridiculously) and quits his crime-fighting career. Mario respawns because he obviously didn't come with 0 lives left and wins.

heh, i'm not the only one who wasted time on that

i'd make a version only with black ones, but that sounds a lot like work

You were enjoying the pretty colors, while I was ing you.

I just spent half an hour trying to figure out what I had done wrong.
I had just created a working sample app to figure out PRISM and had decided to finally add Azure Mobile Services into the mix in order to see whether there were some incompatibilities before I set out to create the actual app.
One minutel later I noticed the XAML preview crashing. So I figured: Must've been something I added to the code in the last minute.
Nope.
Right. Must've been the references I added before that.
Nope. Same error.
Okay, now I'm really out of ideas because this is the state it was working in before. Maybe restart Visual Studio?
Nope. Same error.
Hmmh. Build the project?
Nope, Results in an infinite building process.
This sucks, what else...
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
Okay, that would explain it.
-
One of the current heads of PRISM is also in the same role at Infragistics. Once, I was doing some weird arcane testing on a custom control or something, and just happened to have a XamComboEditor inside a Fakes context. Know what happened? It broke the CLR. IL error. WD IG, I totally trust you to make a wonderful contribution to PRISM.
The same company which, for several years, had a policy of, "Oh, our combo editor doesn't let you bind to the checkboxes we implemented? That's easy, just copy-paste this page-long attached property, include these three libraries, and add this! Isn't it wonderful how simple our software is?"
So when the guy responsible tells me that PRISM isn't large and complicated, I take it with a grain of salt.

I suspect it was largely, if not entirely, a matter of not wanting to pay for travel arrangements for an interview I might not even go to because I already had another offer. Since I would have had to make the arrangements and pay for them myself — and be reimbursed by the company, eventually — I have mixed feelings. I'm unhappy at having the interview canceled, but relieved that I don't have to spend money on travel that I may not take (and which they would probably be reluctant to reimburse if I canceled).

Every time I update Windows, stupid HyperV "accidentally" gets turned back on and screws up my VirtualBox-es.
GO AWAY HYPER-V! NO ONE LIKES YOU!

Well, from what I hear, PRISM for StoreApps is indeed a compact and rather lightweight version of the WPF one.

Somwhere in this office is something that beeps with perfect regularity twice every five seconds. I don't know what it is, where it is, or why the goddammned fucking hell it is, but it is.
... I don't want to jynx it but it seems to have stopped just as I was typing this. Long may it last.

Well unless someone's just fixed/replaced it, it's presumably now died.

I've only once traveled for an in-person interview. I don't know who paid for it, but it wasn't me (at least, not out of pocket.)
-
well your computer's still on and the noise stopped. i count that a win!

Come to think of it, the only times I have were when I was looking for my first job out of university. The first job landed me in Silicon Valley, so for most of my career the local job market was sufficient.

installing Office 2013 again on the work machine for rasins... activate the thing and up pops a little video animation.
WHY IS THE VIDEO THAT BLURY?! nothing else on the screen is, and the slides before and after the video are nice and sharp.
also why show me the Windows 8 intro video? this machine is Windows 7!
-
That... is bizarre. I didn't see that when I installed it at work... though perhaps I only updated Lync?
-
i don't recall it either last time i installed it. although the last time i installed it the first app i needed was outlook not excel, maybe it triggers differently depending on which app you use to activate?

Status: it's as if the client is actively trying to shoot down my every attempt at code reuse.
"...and we don't want this column to show up anywhere in our reports."
"Okay, that's nice, I'll just decorate the model with a

Welcome to business programming, where every project eventually turns into shit.
But if it started as shit, it should surely turn into gold now, right?
Ugh. Looking at my Jira, it seems like I did zero progress on my tasks this week so far - added quite a bunch of new ones, and extended some estimates though. It's nice when you get your business requirements from the QA guys...

So this sprint, I made a form to enter some data. All the grids are filled, all the columns formatted and adjusted, all dropdown fields bound to their respective dictionaries, displaying mini-tables with incremental search, when you enter a value that's not in the dictionary, it prompts you whether you want to add it, and I'm just starting the "show validation errors in grid" feature. Overall, it's a thing of beauty.
It also doesn't do jack shit, because I had no time to code the actual submission logic behind it.
