I'm enjoying having time to spend on MR for the first time in a few weeks! I have missed this

pilotbob · 10-02-2009, 10:59 AM

reading through the RIA Services overview and trying to learn it, Silverlight 3 and .Net Entity Framework all at the same time.

What makes it worse is that I have already found two bugs in the overview/walk-through. Try debugging sample code when you don't know anything about the tools you are working with yet.

Welcome back! Where've you been?

zelda_pinwheel · 10-02-2009, 02:56 PM

trying to decide whether i should just give up on getting anything else done today, since i've spent the last several hours trying desperately not to fall asleep in my chair anyway.

looks like i'll have to work this weekend. *sigh*

Steeling myself for this weekend's agenda of crawling down an extremely tight manhole and opening the 90 year old valve that empties my pool. Summer's over.

*sigh*

wow.

all i have to do is shut the windows, and maybe drag my winter coat out of the storage box under the bed (not yet though).

Oh, it gets worse from there. First drain the pool, then clean out the accumulated algal growth with a power washer, then haul all the patio furniture down to the deep end and put a tarp over it, thendrain and winterize the pump and filter. We already took the three dozen plants in heavy pots into the house for the winter...

ShortNCuddlyAm · 10-02-2009, 03:27 PM

I had two choices regarding winter coats - make another one, or buy one. I've been lazy and done the latter.

The two I already had, plus the gorgeous cloak I also had (you'll notice the past tense here), all got badly attacked by moths during the year.

and you've never been tempted to, maybe, turn it into a skate rink ? or a giant flower bed ? put a roof on it and call it a bunker ??

three words : cedar wood blocks.

now, i am wondering what it is about those little kitty toys that make the cat go around the house bellowing whenever she plays with one.

now i'm praying that The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus will be released at the same time in france as in the us. tom waits, terry gilliam, AND johnny depp ! does it get any better than that ? i don't think it does.

Dang. I'm with you Zelda. Hire a guy with a bulldozer to fill it in and pretend you know nothing about it, pshwynkies. By the way, didn't you just get through filling the pool and getting the temperature above freezing about, oh, three and half weeks ago?
