Post Race!

[szlamany]

So sorry to hear of your loss.

Italian Americans also hold godfathers and godmothers in high regard - at least from my experience.

If only there was a film about that!

[Shaggy Hiker]

It's been altogether too quiet around here!

[dday9]

-cricket noise-

-cricket noise-

There's a big thing going on that's building up; it's like an oppressive cloud over everything.

[Shaggy Hiker]

It's just gas.

[dday9]

Tum, tum tum tum, tum TUM!

Jobu is smiling tonight... more cigars and rum!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, no doubt. It's shaping up to be an interesting series.

[homer13j]

I am really growing to hate WPF.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Do you mean Windows Presentation Foundation, or is there some other WPF?

[szlamany]

Hillary knows they've never created a Willie Proof Floozy?

[homer13j]

I have no issues with Willie Proof Floozys, but Windows Presentation Foundation is a royal pain in the ass.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I haven't used it all that much, but Xamarin uses similar stuff, and I've used Xamarin. I suspect that if I had more experience with WPF I'd agree with you.

[dday9]

I like the concept of WPF and using XML(or XAML) for control layout, I just think that it was poor implementation.

I can understand the benefits of separating the data from the UI in large-scale systems but the one I'm working on is just for capturing photos & video from a tiny medical camera. Besides reading & writing to some small XML files that's pretty much all it does. Of course the developer who chose WPF for this software is "no longer with the company" so I can't ask him/her why WPF was chosen.

I'm sure that Jobu was happy last night with a 6-0 shutout.

I'm sure that Jobu was happy last night with a 6-0 shutout.

Jobu is pleased as long as the supply of cigars and rum holds out. So far, so good.

[dday9]

Dude... Clevland's catcher, Roberto Perez, was on fire last night!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, how often does a guy set an all-time team record in a game....oh yeah, it was the record for home runs in a world series game for the Indians. Not a whole lot of competition going on there for the last few decades.

[homer13j]

Kluber also set a MLB record by striking out 8 through the first three innings, but what impressed me was Miller getting himself into - and out of a bases loaded/nobody out jam.

Raining here now - they moved the start time for tonight's game back an hour but it's possible they may not even play.

[Shaggy Hiker]

My memory of that area was that it could rain for weeks on end in the fall. It would be rough if the World Series didn't conclude until after the Super Bowl.

[homer13j]

How I feel right now...

[Shaggy Hiker]

I do think they have this one, but remember the example set by the Cavs. Being up 3 to 1 is not as much of a guarantee as winning that fourth game.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Tonights the big night.

I hope Homer isn't too stressed at this point. The Comeback Cavs have to be looming pretty large at this point.

It'll all be over in a few hours, though.

[homer13j]

Wow, what a game... extra innings and they just unrolled the tarp. It's going to be a while before the game resumes.

Looks like I'm taking a half-day off tomorrow. At least.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Well, you can't get a much better series than that. Extra innings in the seventh game between two perennial losers makes for quite a wrap up. Almost a shame that somebody had to lose.

[dday9]

That game was awesome in every since of the word. It truly inspired awe and wonder.

Chicago leading off with a -insert Trump voice- huge lead. Cleveland chipping away at that lead. Chicago pulling ahead again. Cleveland tying it up. Chicago pulling ahead in extra-innings. Cleveland setting up the tie, but just unable to pull it off.

It was everything that baseball is about.

[homer13j]

Shut off the giant downstairs TV when the Tribe went down 5-1. Went upstairs and listened in on the radio until Davis tied it up with the homer off Chapman. Since the radio is always a pitch or two ahead of TV I was able to watch it as well. Really thought they had it at that point. Shaw seemed sharp until the rain delay and a completely different pitcher after. Pity since the run Cleveland got in the bottom of the 10th could have been the game winner otherwise.

Considering the nearly season long loss of their center fielder and best hitter, mid-season loss of their starting catcher, and late season loss of both their #2 and #3 starting pitchers they did pretty well against the best team in the majors. Never thought I'd see both Chicago teams win it all before the Tribe, but that's life as a Cleveland sports fan.

[Shaggy Hiker]

The irony, to me, was that the Cavs did the incredible by coming back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals....then the Tribe did the nearly unthinkable by losing when up 3-1 in the World Series.

If you remember the 2007 ALCS Cleveland had a 3-1 lead and ended up losing three straight to Boston. So we're no strangers to such disappointment.

[homer13j]

In other news a WPF bug has been kicking my ass. Several web searches have shown I'm not the only one dealing with touch screen issues in a WPF app. But in this case I'm not sure it's WPF, .NET (4.6.0), or our own code causing the issue. It's a strange one, indeed.

[Shaggy Hiker]

There's a subject that I have yet to venture into....but I kind of think it's in my future.

Gas prices went down 3 pennies today!!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Gas is down out here, too. It's the lowest it has been in perhaps a year....which I find kind of bizarre, since I thought it was generally up. On the other hand, we don't necessarily follow the trends.

[dday9]

Gas has floated around $1.90 a gallon here. It will creep up to $2.00 and then drop back down. It's odd.

HOLY cow!

that is cheap! it holds steady around 2.12- 2.29 a gallon once a week it goes up and down litterly, for a day it may be 2.16 and tomorrow 2.20 a gallon

[dday9]

I live 5 miles next to a refinery, man if our taxes weren't ridiculous gas would be next to nothing.
