@DogsB so you didn't try turning it off and on again?

@Magus I hate MEF so much. SO MUCH.

@blakeyrat interestingly, the MEF bits work great. It's my own horrid code that's causing problems.

Ok, so I'm trying out the LastPass desktop app, right? I run the installer, click advanced, and untick all the browsers so it doesn't try to install the browser extensions (I've already installed them), and as soon as I click next, without warning it kills Chrome. Hard. WTF, I was listening to something! It made me so enraged that I mistyped my master password enough times to lock my account. Twice. Then I had to sit and cool off for five minutes. Twice. Finally I log in and it opens Chrome again and tries to install the browser extension anyway even though I already installed it myself and also despite me unticking the checkbox for each browser individually including Chrome. At least Chrome remembered my tabs and the YouTube video I was listening to remembered its position. But seriously, what were they thinking!? The Chrome extension is great but the desktop installer looks hacked together and it kills browsers without warning or permission.
Then I find out that because I told it not to add a desktop shortcut, the only shortcuts it added to my start menu were to web URLs! It didn't open any program other than Chrome and didn't give me the option to do so. I have to go track down the actual executable myself! Let's see, what should I open?
Would you guess
lastpass.exe
? Nope! That's just the original installer! Who knows why! It's actuallyLastPassBroker.exe
, which doesn't even open a window, just a tray icon. Let's see, what are the settings I can change?Huh, what's that IE poll thing? I wonder if it will give a description of it when I hover over it?
Psych! That's how you access a secret option to sort something alphabetically instead of...I dunno, randomly?
Also, if you right click the tray icon instead of left clicking it, the menu appears behind the taskbar so you can't click the option to exit:
In fact, it won't even go away unless you choose an option! Somehow it went away on its own after I typed that, not sure how.
The actual window showing my vault is even uglier and less intuitive than the one @blakeyrat was complaining about in the other thread. Screw this. I'm uninstalling this crap ASAP. I'll stick to the web interface and Chrome extension.
At least it actually warns me this time. BUT WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~!? Seriously what reason could you possibly have to do that!?
I was just curious if it would automagically handle wifi passwords or something - it certainly detected that they are stored unencrypted on my system and offered to import and remove them. But after this experience, it looks like that sticky note is staying on the side of my router.
And maybe this is TR or something, but despite all this I'm going to keep using LastPass for now - just never the desktop application.

Status: No, you don't need to access BitBucket anymore. Just like GitHub, you could upload code! We can't let that happen! Let's not trust our developers to not do stupid things like that. Just wait for our MITM solution for BitBucket and you can access it again.

Status 1: So, got my Band 2 back ... again. Short recap: The first and original one developed a small crack due to design issues, the second one had those issues fixed but didn't turn on.
This one works fine and also has the improved design.
Though I once again had a regarding UPS - this time I was successfully able to divert the package's address to a UPS access station. I got an email stating that the package had been dropped off at 10:50. When I arrived there at 15:30 and stated that "there was a package dropped off for me today", the clerk looked a bit confused.
Because, y'see, there wasn't a package dropped off today (in fact, there were none dropped off today).
Queue hilarious confusion on both sides with me nearly calling UPS (once again...) to give them a piece of my mind, when the clerk had the bright idea of looking through friday's packages. Which was a huge success.
Honestly, I'm not really sure what happened here.
Status 2: Just been asked to adopt the role of 1st and 2nd level IT tech support at my school. This usually means stuff like ordering ink cartridges for the printer, helping other teachers with tech related stuff, install a program here or there and act as an intermediary between the school and the IT company supporting us.
Which is largely what I've already been doing, so it's more like an official acknowledgment of my work. And, yes, it's paid - not with money, though.

Ethanol?
Naw, that one I have in sufficient quantities in my lab (and it's even the good stuff without the bitter additives).
No, the way it works is thus:
Our contract requires us to work a certain amount of hours per week - there are complicated formulas which calculate which type of lesson requires how many hours, for example a German lesson in the 13th grade is rated at least double a Sports lesson (partly due to the huge amounts of reading you have to do when grading tests and exams - it's horrendous and I'm really glad for the somewhat binary nature of exams in the sciences).
If you now take on additional tasks, those may be counted towards fulfilling your contract, basically reducing the amount of lessons you have to give. "May" because not all such tasks are essential and it's also dependent on the total quota of the school - there are additional complicated fomulas which determine how many teachers the school is given (largest factor: The gross number of pupils. Secondary factors: The type of pupils - type, as in: Refugee, pupil at our commercial college, pupil at our vocational school, pupil at our academic high school).

Good grief, npm is really a shitty tool. So, I just did an update (because that fixed one issue I was having) and npm broke completely. Once again.
So, this is the workflow which has been proven to work:
- Use
ncu -u
to update the package.json to the latest version - Fucking purge the complete node_modules directory from existance
- Use
npm install
to re-download everything without anything breaking this time
- Use

Status: Monster is really shit. CWJobs seems more useful. Reed, too.
8 things to follow up on, and all with at least as much involved, especially when I factor in the £2500 train fares which will no longer be necessary, and in some cases the starting is at least as much as I'm already seeing...
And with 4 hours less commute per day. What could possibly go wrong?
