She’s twelve.

Okay, so I’m working on project in Visual Basic.NET.  Using Visual Studio 2003.  And it’s really, really bad code.

You there, stop snickering!

Anyway, the point of this post is that, if you see the above error, it probably has to do with a bad path in your .sln file pulled down via SVN or other.  Open it in Notepad and change:

Project("{F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F}") = "IPTV", "http://localhost/somepath/IPTV.vbproj", "{AD96074E-13E6-47B2-8B61-14FCE9EE9377}"
ProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject
EndProjectSection
EndProject

to resemble how you configured IIS.

This is genius.

Because the tonkatsu doesn’t have to end with the cabbage.

Occasionally people complain that the URL for this blog is difficult to remember. So I’ve gone ahead and created a Dickens URL:

From Great Expectations. I’m sure everyone remembers this quote.

My Gods, can nothing stop it?!

Quick, somebody call Bruce Willis!

When in doubt, reboot. Nokia’s reset codes are pretty easy to remember if you use the “RES” and “RST” mnemonics.

Soft reset code: *#7370# (*#RES0#)
Hard reset code: *#7780# (*#RST0#)

Literally. I was just alerted to this site here:

As you can see, in less than five days the Epoch time will reach 1234567890.  Ephoch time is, of course, POSIX time, a popular time-keeping method for Unix which is measured in the number of seconds that have passed since the POSIX clock started virtually ticking at midnight on January 1, 1970 (not including leap seconds).

I hereby call on all geeks everywhere to begin immediate global Epoch time party mobilization.   We’re gonna party like it’s 915148800!!

Or, well technically we’re going to party like it’s 915148800 + 319419090 plus or minus some leap seconds.  Which happens to also be this coming Friday the thirteenth.  Which might be unlucky except that it falls before Valentine’s day in the year of the Bull, so…

Er.. Nevermind, just get some booze and spread the word.

Oh pshaw!

“Pshaw” I say!
