Chin up and all that - every now and then I've had a post sent for moderation. No particular reason that was discernible (at least to mortals and their gods). I just happens.

Even by your physical presence she would be infected with some knowledge about technology...

Hey! I'm not contagious!
She's gone backwards to an extent - she was an RF tech when I met her. I suspect that because I know what I'm doing, she has got technology-lazy and leaves thinking about that stuff to me. Hopefully, the tablet she is getting for Christmas will help improve that (I've been presetting Chrome to "cat pictures" on mine and pasing it to her when the gory bits start on "The Supervet" to acclimatise her)

So I sent someone a link to semi private page on my site where the link is created partially with GUIDs (it's not a link that is publicly available).
Not sure if the person book marked the link in Windows or it's sitting in hotmail or windows live - but I now have the bingbot trying to take thumbnails of this page (IP 40.77.167.84) quite often.
This is nothing short of invasive.
I am of the right mind of doing a redirect to Microsoft's front pages so it takes a screenshot of itself.
Unreal.

There must be far more better pictures than the website of Microsoft.

That's only funny because you English pronounce his name all wrong

It only works because Americans pronounce his name wrong.
We English pronounce his name wrong in a way that it makes no sense at all.

I get the joke, just pointing out it works because American's pronounce his name wrong (van Go) whereas we English pronounce it wrong (van Goff) in a different way.
I've never met an Englishman (who hasn't been radicalised by the Americans) who pronounces it van Go.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I know you got it
Never knew the English and Americans pronounce Van Go(ff) differently.
Of course the only proper pronunciation is Van GoGGGGH, but no English speaking person (whatever English) can pronounce that
It's funny to hear you say "Van GoGurgleGurgleGurgle" though

I bet the Welsh would give it a go - if they can pronounce Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (🎤[^]), this one should be easy.

Whilst playing in the fields of QA tonight, and hitting a break-point (note: not a 'breaking point'), suddenly I thought: why doesn't VS201X (or ReSharper, for cryin' out loud) let you select code in the current file at the break-point that would be "legal" to evaluate in the Command Window, and by some keyboard-chicanery copy it into that window, switching : simulating you opened the Command Window, typed "? " and pasted in some ripe object/code ?
Yada, yada, yeah, I know you're going to say that you can hover over whatever, and see the results with the inspection pop-up, which 'tis a wonder sure, but there are many cases where you might want test some sub-expression.
Is that too much too ask ?
