For a while, I was sure that I had a spyware on the machine, but it turned out to be just VS2005 SP1 Beta1 installer (from now on, known as SP1, because it is quite a mouthful).
It kept pegging the CPU for about 20 minutes!
At least I managed to uninstall it and got back my Web Application Projects.
It took amazingly short while for me to decide that SP1 Beta1 is not going to work for me.
Here is what I get when I try to create a new WebForm in my application:
I'm going to try reinstalling, but if it isn't working, then it is going away.
I got a couple of complaints about regression in NHibernate Generics 1.0.11, about using an abstract class. I hope that this would fix the issue.
Code and binaries are here
I just found the text below on the NUnit forum (removed since then), and I couldn't stop laughing.
Please do not develope components for .NET It has become required for a few companies apps like Sony and ATI. It installs over 15,000 registry entries!
It is a complete hostile takeover of a system. It does not benefit the user.
It is very similar to a Vampire. A vampire must be invited in to give it power.
The .NET component must be downloaded of your own free will to give it power.
They cannot sell it to you as that would be illegal due to what it does once it is installed. Please study this issue carefully through forensic examination to reveal exactly what .NET is actually doing for both you and for the master controllers. This is a dangerous trend in computing. Please do not support it and especially do not support companies that require it.
I will be going to look for my tinfoil hat now...
Yesterday the beta for NHibernate 1.2 was released, the new features that interests me are:
IL-based reflection optimizer - another big performance boost.
You can get the new beta release here, and the full release notes are here.
Only occasionally I get to read a book that make go "Wow!", merely because the strength of the plot and the charm of the charaters. Scalzi creates a full fledge world (universe, actually) very quick, very easily and very convincingly.
The story reminded me strongly of Hienlien's Starship Troopers (although the only common plot idea is war among the stars). As someone who grew up on Hienlien's books, that is a high praise.
There are two other books in the same universe, and I'm looking forward to reading them...
I am currently listenining to Hansleminutes #33 and found out that Mac users has an advantage over Windows users in the laptop department. Apperantly Mac user can simply shut the lid, put it in the bag and go on.
I've been doing the exact that with my laptop, whose uptime at the exceeded the 40 days mark before the @#$% Windows Update decided that it is a good time to force a shutdown, with nary a problem.
IoC 29 - Required to make Binsor work, has moved (with changes from Hammett), to the trunk. I've update Rhino Commons with the new changes, and now you can use it with the Windsor from Castle's trunk.
Have fun...
I just had a converstion with a friend of mine, that started like this:
Her: (accusing) "Why didn't you call to say happy new year*?"
Me: "I don't call anyone to say that."
Her: "It is good that you didn't call, I hate when people do that."
Damned if I do, and damned if I don't. God help me if I could ever understand women.
* It is the Jewish new year.
The blog was down for about half an hour while I updated to dasBlog 1.9. You should be able to notice a major speedup.
The nice feature that I really want is the tag cloud support, but I can't figure out how to make it work, I added it to the theme, but it isn't outputting anything. You should notice the nice category view, though.
No future posts left, oh my!
