@Lorne-Kates You don't have to do much more than putting an updatepanel around your entire form content, in the case of simple forms, IIRC.
And UpdatPanel still uses the page lifecycle. If you turn off viewstate, updatepanel explodes still.

@blakeyrat If only they could be discrete about the whole election process, like the Americans are.
Americans:
18 months of non stop Trump panic, Bernie whining, Hillary bashing. Day after day after day.
Then, let's take one week to see through the referendum which will determine the fate of a nation and possibly Europe as a whole.
Waaah! Waah! No one is paying attention to us every second of every day any more. Waaah! Waah!
Interestingly enough, I'm pretty sure brexit affects me as an American IT professional more than which particular dipshit we elect president. The details will differ, but the net result will be more or less the same. Brexit, though, is a big fucking deal.

@blakeyrat there are not supposed to be crunchy bits in her wet food so of course she gets suspicious.
Our two cats love cat candy. I've so far been successful giving them medicine by giving them two candies, the medicine, and then two more candies.
...eventually they will catch on to this as well, I'm just happy as long as this works. So I think the bottom line with a cat is: whatever works right now, use it. But have more than several backup strategies.
Last resort: Cat burrito.

I'm not sure about you but management here spent half the day panicking about which country our cloud is in. I suspect Ireland which probably has a backdoor deal about sharing information between the two islands. although this internet age thing is pretty recent so its probably negotatied at european level. We're boned.

I just received the shipment confirmation of the arrival of my Oculus Rift. Trying to persuade my boss to let me out three hours early.

Status: Just watched someone try to play through Mighty No. 9 as Ray. It was quite entertaining how much rage resulted. He actually seriously enjoyed her gameplay for most of it, and then he came up against Cryosphere.
He has the boss's weakness, but every time he uses it, he immediately allows himself to fall down on top of an attack and die. So he eventually just used other attacks and won after about an hour of trying.
Then I saw him fight Brandish: He'd equip the boss's weakness, but only ever use it when the boss was invulnerable, waste all his energy, and then switch back when the boss is vulnerable. This fight took him another hour or so, because he refused to make it easy.
He basically never used transformations unless absolutely required, couldn't figure out how ledge grabs work, couldn't deal with the fact that enemies damage you by touching you... and then complained that the game doesn't act like it's predecessors.
By the end of the video, he's raging that the game is ignoring his controls and making him lose, and that it's generally badly designed.
Quite funny really. The precision of the controls is the one thing you can be certain of in that game.
EDIT: If there's any question about what I mean, it's that the controls are good. Really good. All this guy's deaths were his own fault.

I knew the dangers when I ordered the Oculus Rift: either I was going to use it all the time every day, or it was going to sit on the shelf and collect dust.
I can say with relative certainty now that it is the former.

@accalia No regrets. Love this thing. It's best argument so far for me to consider Lasik. The only troubles I've run into have been my glasses getting moved around inside the headset; it's a pain to fix. That's going to be true of any headset.
Oculus Touch is coming soon. I have no desire to be mobile using this thing. In fact I'm using it in my bed right now to type this on a giant virtual monitor on my ceiling.
Edit: actually it's curved around my head

IIRC Betamax was the technically superior format. Market dominance is what matters.

Edit: actually it's curved around my headI saw an antvr on eBay for £100 and grabbed it. Despite being a bit shit it did turn me to vr but I'm going to wait until the market settles. It still gets a lot of use though. Mostly when I'm too lazy to sit at my desk to play games so I lie in bed. which is most of the time.
I would murder for a better monitor in that form factor.

STATUS Feeling heroic!
I was cleaning up the back yard today. I moved the bin and was removing loose thrash and putting it into bags because we have the most retarded garbage disposal in the world. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving. It was dark and slimy and I almost let out a squawk thinking I had seen a mouse. Luckily I noticed that it was a frog before such an indignity occurred.
It started making a beeline for the pond nearby but luckily I spotted the heron in its path and shuffled towards the heron to scare it off. With the heron gone I watched the ugly little thing hop slowly towards the pond and with a little plop it was gone. Not even a how do you do!
I feel like I've done something today.

How dare you deprive that poor heron of its first good meal in days. It's probably going to starve to death because of you

Status: The burn rate for alcohol with 4 adults on a lake trip with 4 kids is roughly 1.75l of vodka every three days, 1.75l of Jack Daniels every 4 days and 1.75l of tequila every 5 days.
This is concurrent usage. not consecutive. Adjust accordingly.

I've had the headset on for a couple hours. It's stupid that you can't launch external apps from the Oculus home (and you can't install new apps while an app like Virtual Desktop is running). So I had to take the headset off and return briefly to the muggle world.
I have a slight headache. Possibly eye-strain?
