That's why you should always keep your notes on the top shelf. After all, most guys have a hard time hitting the high notes.
No one uses notes anymore, make a note of that.
I just created made a general purpose .net JSON serializer/deserializer. You should check it out in the codebank ;)
That's dangerously non chit-chat-ish.
:eek:
What have I done?!
Revived the post race, apparently.
Two days in a meeting, and darn near NOTHING was posted in all of Chit-Chat.
That is the essence of chit chatQuote:

So how bout that superbowl?
Its on to damn late, i had to go to Bed just into the the 3rd Quarter as it was 2 am and i was in work the next day!
You guys have no consideration for a international audience :)
I have to say Foles played great though, they have a nice problem at QB for next year
I'm not a Patriots fan by any means, but Brady played exceptionally well too. 505 yards, 3 touchdowns, and a QB rating of 115.4. With stats like that, your defense lost you the game, not the other way around.
The defenses on both teams were terrible. The Pats never punted in the entire game, so the vaunted Eagles defense never got a stop aside from the strip sack that won the game.
The Eagles don't have a good QB problem for next year, they have a pretty miserable one. Unless Foles is willing to play backup for small money (he actually might, cause he's a different sort), he'll be gone. Carson Wentz is just too good to leave on the bench. He's better than Foles, even after the end to this season. So, Foles will depart to greener pastures....MUCH greener....lots of green, really, and the Eagles will have a great QB...with no safety net, just like every other team.
Of course it's a good problem, they could be the Browns or one of the other teams with no chance.
Whenever you have a decision to make between 2 good options thats a good place to be in.
The Browns have a management problem. They have some talent, they just can't manage nor coach their team.
The Browns have been a mess for years. A buddy of mine is a Browns fan, so we laugh about it a fair amount. I was surprised to see them go 0-16 this last year. Not sure what to expect next year. It kind of depends on whether or not they swing and miss on yet another quarterback.
It was still a good game. Not one sided at all. Half time sucked arse and our pizza arrived late and not hot enough but oh well
My pizza was JUST hot enough. I've been going over to a buddy's house for several years now. He makes up a bunch of pizza dough and the rest of us bring toppings and appetizers. I brought along a tin of chipotle peppers in some kind of sauce I can't spell or pronounce (mostly cause I forget, though not entirely). As a pizza topping they were awesome. Loads of flavor, and a medium amount of heat.
I just pulled up the sales tax for my city: 10.75%
We're ranked 8th highest in the state.
Bernice, Farmerville, Jonesville, and Lake Providence are tied for the highest sales tax: 12%
In LA county where most live its 9.5% but several cities within it have district tax added to make it 10.5% :(
I think we have 6%, but it's on EVERYTHING, including food. The cities keep asking for the ability to set their own rates, but the state consistently denies them. That's kind of ironic. The state is arguing that the feds are too overbearing and decisions should be made closer to home...except that they take action each year to prevent the cities from having any authority. I guess decisions are best made somewhat closer to home, but not TOO close to home, cause that would just be bad.
Whenever I bought my truck, I paid $31k for it. I had $3,000 as a down payment, $3,000 for my trade-in, and then I financed the rest. The sales tax came out to like $3.4k, it basically wiped out my down payment and then some of my trade-in.
Depends on your financing interest rate. When I bought my 2015 mustang I put a G down to order it and when came in I financed the rest with 2.49% for 6 years. Stupid registration tags were $600 almost as much as the entire term financing cost. the tags "were" going down but then stupid governer brown jacked up the fees with a $185 increase on top of your regular feesQuote:

If I went 60 months I would have got 1.99% but for 1/2% I figured with no early payoff its worth doing 72. Then if I want or am able to I can pay off earlier

I think I am at 1.9% for 48 months, or something like that. I overpay by 10% per month, or therebouts. Not sure when the payoff is, and I guess I don't much care. I shouldn't be paying off that much because I can get better rates in bond funds these days. I'd just rather dump the debt.
Finally got some rain this week. I didn't wash my car so not sure why lol
Been getting lots of snow this week, even into the valleys. Skiing has been great last week and this week. Too bad it's already March, so the skiing will be ending pretty soon.
Need to submit a website to google and Bing. Havent done this in at least a decade. Things have changed allot.
You submit websites? I figured this was more of a pull than a push.
Spring has arrived. The temperatures are getting into the 60s today, with warmer temperatures to come each day for the next few. Time to take the skis out of the car and swap out the studded tires.
Temps just missed 60. Too many clouds early, I suppose.
Actually had some light rain/sprinkles here. Cold weather down into the upper 60s.
I did finally get my Shelby towed home from the shop after 4 years of being there :D
That's why it rained.
We're having sun and mid-50s. We should get into the upper 60s today. That would make it the warmest day of the year, thus far. The skis are out of the car, the studded tires come off tomorrow. Spring is here.
Isnt spring next week?
Well, our clocks already sprung. I don't pay attention to the celestial spring, just the biological spring: Geese start showing up on top of buildings so they can hiss at me (I seem to cause them particular offense), flowers start blooming, and so on.
I hate geese; the little bastards are mean!
They are only somewhat mean. If they were REALLY mean, they'd improve their aim.
Actually, Canada Geese are not as mean as lots of other geese. They are nowhere near as aggressive. The only time I had one come after me was when I was on a bike and suddenly came up on a pair with goslings. The goose herded the goslings into a pond, while the gander came after me. Darn near anything would react the same way when surprised, so I wasn't bothered by it. That guy never got me, either. Mostly a bunch of flapping and hissing. All sound and fury.
Gooses are good for nothing lol
Now I'm having the second bathroom remodeled at the rental house. Its a total gut job. Seems yesterday when they turned off the power they did something to knock out all the power to the garage. :( Never fails, one job creates multiple repair jobs.
Mais you always got something going on with those rental houses!
Yeah. I found a bit of a leak under my kitchen sink. At first, I felt it was just a bad joint on the P-trap. Having had a closer look at it, I realize that the P-trap isn't a conventional P-trap. Somebody manufactured their own in such a way that it doesn't really work with any standard sink drain. The leak has to do with trying to connect standard 1.5" drain pipe to 2" ABS built such that one of the junctions is always under water. I'll never get that sealed well enough with just a compression coupling, so I need to...do something else. I just haven't figured out quite what I'm going to do, yet. I could either extend the 2" ABS to move the joint higher, or replace the whole P-trap arrangement with conventional stuff. I kind of like it, because the oversized P-trap is very clog-resistant.
I'm thinking about updating and then monetizing my tutorial website. Has anyone gone about doing this?
New HP Elitebook 850 G4! Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB!
Inter Core i7 7600U - 16 GB RAM.
Installing SQL and VS tomorrow!
Fancy, I've always liked HPs.
I think this is a tricky thing to do. Whatever you do dont put up some sort of paywall there are so many tutorial sites out there your web traffic would just disappear.Quote:

@szlamany: So, why that choice? The specs look pretty nice, though you didn't mention whether or not it has an SSD drive, which I'm totally sold on these days. But still, I assume you looked around, so what was the selling point for you?
I keep toying with upgrading...then I remember that there is nothing working poorly on what I have, so what can I gain that is worth the money?
Yeah my desktop is 3yrs old and Win 7 and I'm itching for a new machine but this one works great and I have upgraded it to a SSD. But I'm retired now and don't need to worry about keeping up with my clients machine, plus I have a Win 10 surface pro. So I can't find a real reason to fork out $1,000. But as soon as one comes out with truly new features, I probably jump on it.Quote:

My new place of employment just migrated to Windows 10 - this was one of two laptop models they are going to support (they image workstations and laptops and must have everyone running the same hardware).
It does have an SSD drive - boots really fast (of course windows 10 now "saves" the kernel on disk and re-boot simply "restores" to that).
Just got SQL installed this morning - seems to run well so far. Got to get VS installed next...
I thought you were self employed writing custom stuff for education?
I took a job with one of my bigger clients (had this client since 1988). They had an IT guy (that I worked with in the 1980's) retiree - replaced him with a job jumper - lasted a bit more than a year. He left - and I thought... health benefits, two pensions vested in 5 years - keep my existing clients (now I work twice as many hours!). It's been interesting to say the least! And I went and landed a new school in Texas two months ago (college). I'm doing a custom housing system for them now followed by a Food Ordering system for on campus catering.
It's nice being comfortable with change!!
Well, that's a good thing. That pension can sure ease retirement concerns a bit. Not many of those around anymore, though.
I only have one rental.Quote:
