Why is it when I am doing a VAT return my MD and my FD descend upon me in a state of urgency about getting a budget for a new site out.
Flap flap flap...
I am online with the HMRC trying to pump in numbers and miss the pennies off a return.
It doesn't sound much, but when I run the report it does not come back to zero, there is 81p o/s.
This means the TB and the Balance Sheet Report have two extra lines which annoys me as it now looks ugly.
And I have to remember to reverse the balance next month.
I wish people would just FRO on a Friday.

Pfft, have you looked at a mirror lately? 
Actually I meant to make a comment about truth==beauty, but my evil side intervened.
No I didn't!

When I first saw it and started to read it I immediately thought a Beach Boys song was coming on.

It usually gets even worse when someone from England[^] tries it.
Edit: At least at first he sings the correct text and it's even understandable.

As a programmer the way people write it drives me crazy. The proper way to write it should be:
In CamelCase:
RhabarbarBarbaraBarBarbarenBartBarbierBierBarBaerbel
In another language this translates to:
Baerbel from the bar that serves beer to the barber that cuts the beards of the barbarians from the bar of Barbara who makes the wonderful rhubarb cake
Actually it is quite a feat to derive all those contexts (recursively) on the fly.

That's the wonderful thing about forums, there are so many people within different countries looking at local humor, and they pass some of the best to their friends on different forums. Just enjoy.

I just spent three weeks trying to figure out the nuances of restarting a process on a remote Windows machine from a web site. The task description started out as "convert an existing VBS script to c# so we could use it from a web site".
Windows XP Embedded does ship with schtasks.exe. This means you can't schedule tasks on the box, so you have to run PSEXEC instead to run your process directly. The PSExec thing on XP boxes is a relative piece of cake to get working. The problems exist in schtasks.
Non-embedded versions of Windows have schtasks, and you have to run it with WMI to avoid permissions entanglements. You also have to be very careful of how you specify parameters. Windows XP uses schtasks v5, and Windows 7 uses v6. If you specify a command line parameter that doesn't exist for the given version of schtasks you're trying to run, it simply doesn't do anything (and v6 has params that v5 doesn't have). Since you're running via WMI, you can't capture stderr or stdout, either.
This has been a freaking nightmare. We still haven't figured out why it won't work in a virtual machine, but for me that's a non issue since the web site won't be manipulating VMs at all.
BTW, you know you have problems when you run schtasks and you don't get a file in the (Win7) Windows/System32/Tasks folder, or the (XP) Windows/Tasks folder. It's important that you have an account on the remote box in question so you can observe (via remote desktop) the task manager and the Tasks folder. Without that ability, you have no hope of determining exactly what has occurred.

I still haven't figured out how to get cron (*nix task scheduler) to work.

No one has, the standard is to get the job 'nearly there' then panic when it fails at the critical moment.

We have a little snow and ice this morning and the news is treating it like the apocalypse has come.
We get snow and ice all winter most every year.
There are the usual drivers that think the laws of physics (nature) do not apply to them. You know, the ones trying for the Darwin award.
Well I guess I will just turn off the "news".

Yeah, I had one run into me on Wednesday when the “big storm” hit Minnesota. Apparently didn't know why it made sense to keep a fair distance between them and the vehicle in front of them. Luckily, no injuries.
The same thing here, OMG! AAAAAH! It's snowing! Buy every snowblower, shovel and sandbag from the stores NOW, DURING THE STORM! Idiots...
It was broke, so I fixed it.
