Dustin, sorry, but I had to share this video with everyone because I saw you eat at least twenty pounds of tuna fish over the course of the MVP Summit. Consider it a farewell tribute since you joined Microsoft.
The video was taken at the EMP museum in Seattle, WA on April 16th, 2008.
Thursday night we gathered at Kell’s Irish Pub and Restaurant one last time before heading home from Seattle. There was an unofficial count of about 75 of us that gathered for food and chatter. It was certainly a lot more than last year and we had a blast. Thanks to everyone that came out and we’ll try to do it again next year!
Pictures from the Geek Lager are here:
At the MVP Summit 2008 I didn’t take a large amount of pictures but I did take a few. You can view them here.
For some reason, and I can’t explain it, creating a backup of my laptop has been weighing on my mind. I haven’t gotten my Windows Home Server up and running yet thus I’m having to do it by hand right now. Since I am about to take a cross country flight I decided to take a snapshot of things before heading out. My tool of choice is RoboCopy which is included with Vista.
So I don’t have to stare at the robocopy help screen again here’s how I backuped up my files to my external Western Digital 400GB My Book drive using RoboCopy. Mainly I’m posting this for me so I won’t have to stare at the command switches again.
I was writing a test earlier today trying to play nice with the red first green later crowd. When I first wrote my test it showed red. It didn’t work, this was good. I went in and wrote what I thought was “green” code. I ran it and whoops I didn’t mark my dummy class public so the XML serializer blew up. My test failed again. I fixed that quicly and ran the test again and it failed again! I looked at the message and this was staring me in the face.
Yah. I’m at a loss too. Doesn’t this test know that it was suppose to pass? I feel like Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore. “Why won’t you just get in the hole?!!!”.
