Status: Wow. One of my servers just lost Internet connectivity. How... convenient....
Edit: shit shit shit shit Looks like it really is down. Here's to hoping it's just Cox being dicks and I just have to wait for the router to figure out that the public IP has changed (and therefore should update the DNS entry)....

Status Time to whip up some reports!
O god! One of the data queries is giving a descriptive error ... manually refreshing them one by one to figure out the culprit
uh ... no error ...
refresh all
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Maybe it's one of the pivot's ...
SCREW YOU EXCEL!

Yeah, isn't it a joy that refreshing the data tables doesn't necessarily refresh the pivot tables? And sometimes not even if the sheet is not the active one!

@Tsaukpaetra you know, where I didn't visit here for three months.

Yeah ... you can solve that by putting a slicer on it ... if it has a slicer it refreshes ... or so it seems ...

So ... if you make a data query and let it create a table with the data and then you create a pivot based on that table you can't set the data query to 'connection only ' without destroying the pivot's connection ...

I thought that was a sabbatical. We knew you'd be back in some form or another.

pivot tables
I'm more annoyed by excel throwing errors during 'refresh all' without indicating witch sheet, table, pivot, connection, ... in my 100MB excel file with like a gazillion pivot tables is actually having an issue ...

Status: OMG My 4-year-old brother is learning to play Portal! Squee!!!
End result, he got to chamber 18 with only a little guidance before it got too complicated. The most difficult concept he struggled with was the bidirectional nature of portals. The skill most needing improvement is planning and spatial cognition.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed!

Yeah, I ended up making a macro for this exact reason that enumerated all tables and pivot tables, showed and activated the sheet they were on, attempted the refresh, then undo the show if it was hidden, and reporting back which ones failed (and, if available, why).

status 1h later and the damn data refresh is done.
I'm going to need more

I must be exceptionally clueless because I never understood that you stopped visiting because of a fallout. I simply thought that your working conditions must have improved so that you had less reason to come here. I guess I was being too positive.
Anyway, your loss -- our gain. :-)

I guess I'll have to go home and see if I can get database stuff working as one of those. EF hates PCLs, but maybe this will work.

I wasn't aware my switch could even go that fast! That is the equivalent of having 19 interfaces in the LAGG and they're all blasting out data, right?

Status: Tentatively hopeful that tonight's follow-up deploy will mark the light at the end of the Big Red Button tunnel.
Not sure whether three days worth of running down problems and doing follow-up deploys both during and after the day counts as a reasonable amount of headache or not, given the nature of the upgrade... I think by most standard definitions, it means I need to re-tag the original RFC as "Failed", though :/

Hm, "connection only", maybe...
Helped my stepmother out with an automagic Excel worksheet that takes the data she pastes in as a table and then separates out data into different sheets, builds a summary sheet, etc... turns out it fucks up now if the file's anywhere other than in its original location. WTF, Excel?! This isn't an external data source here!

So, had two finals back to back this evening... that was fun.
The first one... I'm not going to parse words here. I got fucking WRECKED. By the time the final ended, my leg had been twisted up my asshole and my mouth ended up on my left nipple. The only consolation I have is that every classmate I talked to afterwards seemed to be in the same state of shock; one must hope that there'll be an aggressive curve. I know one of my friends in the class actually threw up afterwards β yes, it was that bad. I wasn't feeling much better, though I was feeling resigned rather than sick. What the fuck was the professor thinking...
On the other hand, the second final was as good as the first final was bad, and that's saying something. I was honestly dreading that one more, as that's a class that's 100% mathematics and that's not my strong suit. But it's like the professor picked exclusively from the list of topics with which I'm most familiar and gave me problems I could do with one hand tied behind my back. I think I got one question wrong (well, I know itβ it was variance of a composition of two dependent and different probability distributions, and I swear we didn't have enough information to solve the problemβ I ended up just pretending they were independent distributions and hoped I'd get partial credit). But the rest I was 100% sure of and the final grade is a minimum grade for the course. So I was on fucking cloud nine, baby. I swear I've never felt that good.
I have a term paper due tomorrow (of which I've written 1/3) and at work, crunch time also starts tomorrow (cutover to a new software distribution, I'm the only person with access to the back end, I know it's going to be a nightmare because yesterday we weren't even sure what we were going to be doing). But that's tomorrow, suckers. I've got the hard part of my year done, as far as I'm concerned.

@dkf actually at this point, IE7 should be the pain point. Everyone gave up old IE hacks and just went to standards compliant stuff which isn't too bad at IE9 or especially IE10. But IE7 is the Vista of the IE world, and almost no one really cared about it because the jump was from 6 to 8 to 11 but 9/10 stand reasonably well anyway. Unlike 7...

I am impressed. According to Microsoft i got Windows 10 running on a PC from the mid nineties
In no way is Microsoft confused by the fact that Ara is a VM running on Hyper-V, it's a Microsoft hypervisor, there's no way it would get confused!

STATUS:
Conversation I just had.
Colleague: What's the meeting about?
Me: Boss has a new client. A .NET shop that wants to oursource development with us.
Colleague: But we don't have .NET developers, right?
Me: Right. Boss will hire some based on what they need and our estimation. But for now, we must pretend to be .NET developers.
Colleague: How?
Me: Make yourself sound like a wheezy nerd kid, but also sound sad and hopeless at the same time.
