Well done. I'd be 79 to get there and the old genetics ain't on my side. Now if I was a foot shorter and female no problem, Grandmother was a few days short of 92 and my Nan is 92 and still living at home by herself. Granfather 66, Pop 54 and Father 57, I'm going to beat them all cause I'm a competitive old lady parts but don't reckon 80 odd is a chance.

Not to worry. "Only the good die young"
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I forgot mine once too. Noticed that it was the day after and said "Happy Anniversary" to my wife. She said "Oh is it our anniversary?"
Dodged that bullet!

Nope. On a tablet or phone? That's the only time things seem to go weird for me.

And it is now working for me. In both explorer and chrome.
Apparently commenting on it has made it go away...

Congrats on 22 years. I can't forget dates and stuff, ever since I was a kid things like that just stick, old ladies hated that I'd remember their birthday and also how old they were.
24 years since I got engaged next Friday and 30 years since we started going out on 21st October.
The Missus is the one to forget stuff so I'm all clear on that one. I hate cards, the Missus wants to keep all of them from everyone. I spent time throwing them away when she ain't watching. Plus I want the money for the card and wrapping paper put into the present. My Mum's side of the family used to do that and wrap the presents in newspaper and write on it with a texta who it was for and who it was from.

That sounds familiar. The wife and I got married December 6, 1980. Less than 48 hours later, John Lennon was shot and killed.

That prick should have been put in the perpetual arse raping cell. So many other talentless nobody musicians could have been lined up but he had to get Lennon.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8
August 14, 2018 by Visual Studio Blog
Today we are releasing Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8. In this version we have focused on productivity, performance and bug fixes. There are many new features you‘ll find useful...
So they are focussed on "productivity, performance and bug fixes"
but yet, "There are many new features"
new features a plenty, many of which range from useless to barely useful new features. (also left wondering how many new bugs these introduce.)
nary a note on which bugs were fixed - probably ran out of time packing in so much umm, err ... bloat.
really, since they abandoned the half cooked 2015 the vs team have really taken a huge turn for the worse. for the sake of stability I'm still chugging along on 2013, some new features look OK but not worth the headache (- rather stick to doing those 'new feature' things in a few more lines of code in a version that has less chance of letting me down).
dunno which is the bigger joke now: win 10 or vs 2017 updates and non-fixes.
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

I think I should start playing the lottery because I must be so lucky. People complain all the time about Microsoft but for me, their products work great and always work. I've been using Win10 and VS2017 for a while and have no issues.

Lots of hobbyists who will shout that anything Microsoft is to blame.
Still, there is a noticable shift in the products delivered; the company that catered to "developers, developers, developers" is now catering more to marketing. It feels like the emphasis is on new and sexy UI's, not functionality, usability or stability.

Could be true, but I don't see it. They have a free version of arguably the most powerful IDE in the world. That seems to benefit developers dramatically. I've been doing Microsoft development for 20+ years and it just keeps getting better and easier. Sort of.

The difference between the VC6 and VS2015 is a lot bigger than the more recent improvements.
Same trend is visible in Office and the OS itself; that is if you compare it to the previous versions. Still doesn't mean that there's a "better" version of Office

When did that happen? In terms of UI, they're so bland and colorless nowadays that apart from resolution, I swear you could re-do today's UIs on CGA video cards.

There is no money in changing the shade and color of a button. I prefer simple and practical.

...and can't tell where a control ends and the next one begins, because borders don't show up until you hover the mouse over them? Which isn't an option in a touch UI...
