The Official Status Thread

Yes but as @blakeyrat reminds us, it'll be shit to make work properly and run like shit unless you needed the exact same thing the open source author wanted motivation for.

Status: Installing Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. After about 9 months of pushing the issue, I'm finally starting to see progress from my efforts to upgrade our projects!

status, winning an architecture battle with my coworker. Boss approved my design over that of or ex microsoft employee.
i may have had a case of the giggles at his reaction. that only made it funnier....

Making a 250 line query a 260 line query.

I work in Seattle. "ex-Microsoft" employee don't mean much.
Especially if he worked on any Windows Live-branded products.
-
Status: unsure I was taking the right approach to a DB mapping, so I'm doing a completely separate DB mapping so when the PM invariably tells me I did it wrong, I already have the right version ready.
Still quicker than asking her directly and having a meeting scheduled to "discuss" it.
-
Ah, you're making a Duck. Wise move.
-
Yeah kind of I guess. It's more a "I don't know which way she wants me to do it, and right now I hate her guts too much to ask."

Amateur. An expert would've figured out what the right way is, and then developed a decoy for the PM to shoot down.

Actually he worked in the build lab, so it's always XML this and XML that and we need a service.
not that those are bad ideas in and of themselves, but we're building a small focused project on a serious time crunch and the endpoint we don't have control of really wants to talk JSON at us...
-
Current status: wondering if I should ask a friend if he wants any help with a mobile app that he's developing, since he's about to expand it quite a bit after it passed an alpha phase test.
-
Status: Trying and failing to figure out why deserializing a slightly large XML object (200k) via an XmlSerializer in .NET 4 is taking nearly 2 minutes and grabbing as much RAM as possible (2.2GB) when the site is published to an IIS 7.5 instance (Win 7 or Win Server 2008) but is nearly instant with no noticable memory grab when running from the debugger in Visual Studio or when published to an IIS 6 instance (a Windows XP VM).
...
Status: Not giving much more of a fuck today since it's quitting time.
-
Became a patreon of a project for $14.99/mo. why? because you can see my contribution on the main page! :-D
-
I have to admit once I get a few things sorted out in my life I'm seriously looking at Patreon for an endeavour I have going on.
-
Received several soul crushing blows today. I knew the day was going to be bad when I got all settled in and ready to code, and pandora trolled me with the barbie & ken song.
-
Stupid question:
Debug vs Release?
-
well if you get a patreon with my name that makes a pledge of $x.99 then it's probably me! :-D
-
Both. Published on both configs and the problem exists. It also won't build the XML Serializer file even if that option is set to On for the project.
Running the same method on a scratch Desktop app that calls the same deserialization method, no delay or memory usage. The only common point of the issue seems to be IIS7.5, but the original version of the code in question (written in .NET 1.1) doesn't have that issue even when run on Win 7.
As for the serializer not being built, I may look at breaking out the one specific class to its own project to see if it'll work then. As far as I know right know, it's the only class in the whole project that needs serialization.

Marked @eviltrout commented bug as resolved
Filed several new bugs for @sam and @eviltrout to look at.
Looks like we're still finding bugs at a faster rate than they are getting resolved =/

Does this surprise you?
Come to think of it, I suppose I am, perhaps, a little surprised the CLOSEDWONTFIX rate isn't as fast as we find them.

So nothing new.

Whether that matters depends on a time-severity-weighted view.

Status: Working from home today. Yay for no commute! (Alas, productivity likely to be lower. I've got some really nice coffee to distract me…)
-

I have to agree this time. I didn't work, at least not properly, and I was disappointed after running it for a day. I'm now looking for commercial motivation in an affordable price range. Perhaps Motivation 365, then I could have access to it from my mobile as well.
-
That'll just be equally crap in other ways but you will at least feel justified when you shout at the author who presumably should have known better?
-
Status: This is not an exciting nor fun work day. At least it's nice outside!

Thanks, I'm too busy watching my grass grow.

Now my motivation has hidden behind a shelf in the cellar and wouldn't come out! Why did you have to scare it away?
-
Because in my own little way this morning I have been through hell and I felt like sharing. Aren't I nice?
As for motivation. Motivating yourself is hard and no amount of tools will magically fix it. You can have the best motivation tool going but it won't magically motivate you any more than a good IDE will make a good programmer; it comes from within. A good programmer could write code with fucking Notepad if that was all they had, the IDE should not be a crutch on which to lean, but a tool to make the job easier.
Motivation's like that. An IDE for the soul. Visual Motivation. Motivation++. Probably an Eclipse plugin too. Motivation Studio.

documenting code..
it's way less fun than writing it.
-
That depends, don't you think after 3 months and no huge changes we should have found pretty much all of them?

Crazy talk.

Oh, I don't mind, actually. Only 90 minutes left, then I'm off work. And more than 3/5 of the work week will be over to boot.Motivation Studio.

Status: writing user stories to catalog all the functionalities our product provides.

pandora trolled me with the barbie & ken song.
That plastic world thing? Yeah, that was pretty 'orrible, but it turns out they have some other stuff that's actually pretty good.

Welp, couldn't move the class out to its own project, it's too interlinked with other classes in the project. So I have a post build event to force the serializer to generate. It makes the file, publish, that file is in place, still the same issue.

I tried enabling tracing, and the most information it gives me doesn't really tell me anything. I already know what is slow (a single deserialization call).
The request that's slow and grabs a bunch of memory is in Application_BeginRequest in the Global.asax (which doesn't show in the trace, only the first page hit does, and it doesn't seem to factor in that call), but it's only slow the first time until the app pool recycles.
At this point, I almost need to move this to a Coding Help topic...

Check the Event Viewer. It sounds like you have multiple versions of .NET in the same app pool.

Bold talk from a cellar dweller.
Ehhh, more about the game than the teams. Hockey > baseball, any day of the week.

I can get behind that, except for the days that end in Y.

Stupid question, are the server specs at least equal to the dev machine?
Is the server doing anything else?
Is there a production config file that may be misconfigured compared to dev machine? (diff compare)
