Picnic Box

We brought the load of yesterday’s grasses to the transfer station. On impulse, we stopped at the Picnic Box for lunch. It was good and made me feel almost human again.

I cut down the small grasses.

Have seen some fine films on Netflix this week.

More .NET Hell; Trimmed Grasses

“Parser error”. I converted the site to an application running under the .NET 4.5 application pool. Too many hours wasted.

I’m still sick but cut back the three remaining big grasses in the back yard with the electric hedge trimmer.

Watched a superb film “Reluctant Fundamentalist” directed by an Indian filmmaker Mira Nair.

Visual Studio Nonsense

This works: CodeBehind=”~/Schedule2016.aspx.cs”
This doesn’t: CodeBehind=”Schedule2016.aspx.cs”

From “Tortures of the Damned”:

This option is no longer available in VS2013, but you can accomplish the same thing by selecting your project in the Solution Explorer, then going to the Project option on the Menu Bar. Near the bottom you will see the Convert to Web Application option. This will generate designer files for all the *.aspx pages in your project that don’t have them, but be aware that this may not be what you want if you have a mix of CodeFile *.aspx pages and CodeBehind files. This will also convert CodeFile pages to CodeBehind files. (Courtesy Joisey Mike)

Stupid Thing This Week

James reports that a bunch of parents were parked in a fire zone at the high school during a fire alarm.

Alarms were ringing, people were leaving the building, but no one moved their car.

A fire truck arrived, honked repeatedly, and eventually the dimwits moved.

The irony in all this is that the parents were waiting for their kids to get out of class. A driver’s ed class.

Dear Sandernistas, Shut Up

President Obama’s observation this week that the meda hasn’t started seriously vetting Bernie Sanders’ ideas is spot-on. Also, Sanders keeps harping on the same old Republican line, and it’s wearing a little thin: Clinton makes too much money from the wrong sources and voted for the Iraq war 12 years ago. The Iraq war was a big mistake and she’s admitted it. As for money in politics: the anti-Citizens United arguments sound more and more like red-baiting from the 1950’s, tilting at windmills when the real issue is a lot deeper. Money contributed to political campaigns is used mostly for television advertising, correct? TV political ads appeal to emotions not to reason. A gullible and poorly educated public is the real problem, and that’s a much tougher nut to crack than whether a billionaire wants to risk cold cash on a proposition that’s 50:50 at best.
