Base 13 would explain why government projects always run way over budget...

I can now breath easier knowing that a solution has been found...but I don't see or feel any change yet.

Douglas was an initiate in the Egyptian Osiris/Isis mysteries: there are 42 judges who decide the fate of the soul after death.
The heart of the deceased is ripped out by Anubis, placed on the scales where it is weighed against the "feather of Ma'at." Too heavy: You are reincarnated as front-line tech support for Windows. Nice and Light: you become a CodeProject MVP.
There is a further mystery, here, involving a scarab; if you know what that is, I give you the necessary secret handshake before we communicate about what must be concealed from mere mortals' eyes.

Sounds like heaven. How about reincarnated as third tier support / first-tier engineering / departmental sh<nobr>it-job boy... Oh wait.

Sitting at the screen and spots a small ant (about 2mm long) walking across the screen, went to flick it away and nothing there.
I was beginning to think it was a 'feature' as I was having connection issues with a sandbox and maybe some sort of new easter egg in chrome.
Until I tapped the screen and it fell off. The thing must be be in the screen, between the LCD and the front glass. He re-appeared again a few minutes later.
For some reason my daughter has named him Geoffrey.
The spray has come out!

Are you sure you are looking at a monitor and not her ant farm? In that case it could be Geoffrey MCLVXIII

Visual Studio 2017 is now nagging me to update to 2019 and 2019 core 3.0 isn't even released yet. (winforms designer is broke last time i checked)
First the start of christmas season gets dragged to practically july by the retail folks and now this.
Everyone's in such a rush. GOTTA GET THERE BEFORE THE DOORS OPEN ZOMG.
Visual studio 2017 works for me just fine until you actually RELEASE the next version, MS.
Your prerelease installs never upgrade properly to the releases anyway, so putting them on your machine just hoses it for down the road

hopefully the winforms designer works by then. winforms is kinda nonsense without it - may as well use XAML

it's funny (not really).
We tried upgrading to VS2019 (C++/MFC) last week and it was the first time that we needed to revert back because of a C++ compiler bug.
I'd rather be phishing!
