Also, rendering. Why is it forcing an aspect ratio?
Not pictured: It squared the adjusted picture, so now I look fat in the profile pic...

Hmm. Good point. Perhaps I should stop getting 100%s on these things in a few minutes (compared to the two hours they're supposed to take)...

Status: I was about to report some of the NodeBB bugs I've mentioned in my thread, but then I realized I'd need to create a GitHub account to do it and fuck that.

Ah, yeah, the best way to cancel your monthly paid services - be broke as fuck.
Or get your card details swiped and have your bank freeze every thing

Status: IT won't let me visit the Humble Bundle site in Chrome. I can get there in IE, but I can't log in. However, I can buy something and route it through Amazon for payment with an email address bound to my humble bundle account. So cool?

Status: As I am leaving from a meeting at a client's location, a user says to me that their Outlook is running slowly so I go over to take a look.
26,400 unread emails...

Now that I think about it...I wonder if he really had exactly 26,400 unread emails or did Outlook just give up and think "Meh, +-50 doesn't really matter at this point..."?

i really, really, really hope this is the case.

In this charming tale, ex-boss man is played by , and I am played by
I'm looking for the API call you used to apply a note to the underlying ticket
Well, you should look for Ticket and Note in the project.
I looked all around and never saw a reference to <note_table_name>
Per the line that the code is on, the method is ticketNoteSave
oh, you're not hitting the underlying table. Do you use the 3rd party API everywhere?
Only where not using it broke the crap out of things, since the 3rd party API was generally a steaming pile.sigh
Status: counting down the days left in this retainer.
I should disclaimer: repeatedly injected himself into the design & development process of this app with suggestions of how to do it because he "worked in coding a lot" back in the day... 30 years before this project kicked off...

Status: without any intervention on my part, received a popup with a ticking timer promising to upgrade my laptop to Windows 10 if I didn't successfully defuse it. The only option was to delay it, and the maximum delay was 8 hours. On selecting that it hung - permanently on top of al other windows of course - until I dismissed it via right-clicking on the taskbar.
Selecting the 'get windows 10' tray icon, I did get an option to 'cancel scheduled upgrade', but I assure you I did absolutely nothing to schedule it in the first place.
I blame third-party extensions.

@Polygeekery Outlook doesn't round any other number, I don't see why it'd do that.
For reference though - on my Windows machine at work, one of the mailboxes I have in Outlook has the wrong side of 200k unread emails without it slowing it down.

Yeah, but this user gets a shitload of e-faxes and PDFs. His inbox is well over 35GB.
-

Ouch.
I think the team who look after our email servers would short circuit if I asked them to let me have a mailbox that big

Status: Sat down to write a love story about how a canon couple met, at the request of my beta-reader.
An hour later, I was wailing MCR at the top of my lungs while writing furiously.
This isn't going to be the story he wanted, but it'll be the story he deserves ;)

Status: How the fuck do I create a new folder in the Windows 10 mail client?
Edit:
It's not possible to use the Windows 10 Mail app to create new folders or to delete folders for your email account.
…what the ever-fucking motherfucking fuck?
Editit: …and via the web interface, I can't create a folder with
'
in the name.

huh.... well then....
i really should install proper outlook on this machine, but the mail app works well enough most of the time and it's not like this is my primary machine to do email on..... that's either my desktop or the good laptop.....

Status Skipped through homework. I'm about 86% certain at least 41% of the answers are wrong, but I can't be arsed to check them after spending 2.5 hours on it. Should have taken maybe half an hour, plus time looking up stuff from the book, but noooo, everything is hard now.

So, I'm still playing around with UWP...

Windows Runtime methods cannot be genericERROR
'System.DateTime

This popular NET library won't work on Windows Runtime library. Better write your own!What a gimped piece of shit. No wonder no one is bothering with this platform.

@cartman82 Oh, another fun one, almost forgot.

I think I have a disease.
While reading a news story about a murdered teenager, all I could think about was the sad state of English grammar :(

STATUS:
I was just reminded that C# doesn't have a mode where you can just paste a bunch of html or json code and get a multiline string. The best you can do is unescaped string, but then if you have quotes (which you probably do), you have to go through your text and manually escape them.
var str = @" <div attr="oops, better go back and escape that quote. And ALL other quote characters too."> ";
This is bullshit.
-
@cartman82 One feature in Lua that I miss in other languages is a multiline string syntax that doesn't suck.
multiLineString = [[ This is a multiline string. It can even contain "quotation marks"! ]] otherMultiLineString = [===[ You can use multiple equals signs between the square brackets to allow the string to contain what would otherwise be multiline strings. [[ like this ]] [==[ or this ]==] [======[ or even this ]======] ]===]
Edit: How do I set the syntax highlighting language now? This is Lua, not SQL.
-
@cartman82 Given I'm a few years behind on the web dev shit, but HTML attributes still allow single quotes, correct? Just do that. Considering it's in the SGML standard, the XML standard, and the HTML standard, I'm doubting very much they've removed it from HTML 5.latest. Especially since they've been doing basically everything to make it MORE compatible with XML.
-
@Choonster Even toxic hellstew languages to useful stuff at times.
$multiLineString = <<EOF This is a multiline string. It can even contain "quotation marks"! Or EOF. Long as it's not on its own line. EOF $otherMultiLineString = <<EOS And you aren't limited to using any specific delimeter. EOS

Update: OK… so I was expecting to have to fight my corner a little over the logic change, but… it was accepted and merged without comment :)

Status: The print edition of the Grauniad had a classic production error in today. Something like this:
“The Guardian Easter double prize cryptic crossword is located on page 21 CHECK of the Review.”
With the bold uppercase CHECK. Oh well, it's not just us who sometimes leave things in production that we oughtn't…

I guess seeing the exact line that threw an exception is for corporate drones stuck on dusty old NET. Everyone join the fun that is the Universal App Exception Treasure Hunt! Fun fun fun!!!

Maybe try running it in Debug mode? Like you would for any other type of .NET app?

Status: Wasn't in the happiest of moods going into this weekend, so I figured I'd feed into that by playing a game that I generally heard was terrible, Two Worlds.
So far, I'm finding it more as a game that has a "so bad it's good" side in the voice acting/script, and is just a decent game otherwise. I don't know whether to be disappointed or happy at the turn of events.
-
@RaceProUK maybe if you dont know what you're talking about, you shouldnt give advices.
-
@cartman82 I've worked with .NET for 8 years, and not once have Debug builds failed to give me line numbers
-
@ChaosTheEternal i remember having a lot of fun fusing weapons in the first one. Then in an instant i grew bored with it, and never played it again.
Never quite got into the second one

WHICH IS KIND OF THE WHOLE POINT OF MY POST, ISNT IT?
-
@cartman82 I wouldn't know; you didn't specify you were running a Debug build
-
@cartman82 Oh, just thought: do you have the debug symbols downloaded for the framework? If not, that'd explain why you're missing line numbers.
