Jeez mate, you scared the daylights out of me. Here I was expecting it to be Mr Auld and you pop out.
Totally off topic: I may be popping through Sydney next month but it'll be a flying (literally) visit. You anywhere near the CBD or the Rocks? I'll hunt you down if possible.
cheers

Let me know when and make it happen.
If it happens to be the 15-11-2014, then you'll have to make it my way, no excuses. I brew the keg weeksend after next and this time the keg comes home, with tap and all. Will then bottle anything that is left sfter the party.

a) I'm not an expert in anything! (well anything that counts at least!)
b) Nobody would want to sit and voluntarily listen to a balding scotsman who talks at a 1,000,000 words a seconds with a deep scottish accent when talking passionately about something.
c) Public speaking aint my forte..........bad enough when I have to do it as part of my job to an audience of a hundred or so offshore workers.

Well if you wear a kilt, drive a tractor and go off on tangents ranting, I think you would have a huge audience.

Ok, and only Irn-Bru, Whisky and Tennnts Lager is served, with stovies and haggis as the food during the intervals.
edit: ps. I forgot to say, put Whisky and Irn-Bru together and you have an Iron-monkey[^]

C'mon Pete, stick your head out there, let us suck all the goodies out... oh sorry I was channelling the zombie in me. Live Q&A AAAhhhhhhhh....
Wasn't that called a support service in the 90s and was/is a nightmare job for a developer?
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

It's Thanksgiving in Canada and it seems the tradition is to give thanks for those things your thankful for. I'm an import, so I'm still new at this, but I thought it appropriate to make a space to say thanks for the things your friends, relatives and significant-others may not understand. I'll begin:
I'm thankful for:
- Syntax highlighting and live syntax error reporting
- 27" screens, noise-cancelling headphones and Spotify
- Multi-threaded debugging and Edit-and-continue
- Automatic buffer overflow protection. In fact all the security you get with .NET and other managed environments
- Anonymous types. They don't make a fuss, they don't ask for much, they just go in, do the job, and disappear. God Bless their little cotton socks.
- Virtual Machines. What can't they do...
- Source code control.
- Redis
- Cloud services. All of them.
- All the things I can wear on my person that now have more computing power than my previous laptop.
- The continued enthusiasm and cynicism of the developer community: Making things better while keeping reality in check.
- jQuery
- Ergonomic chairs
- 802.11ac
- Dark Horse Espresso
cheers

I've found myself quite thankful for Resharper over the last few weeks!
|
|
|
|
|
All those with the skill and thoughtfulness to share their experiences and expertise, here on CodeProject and elsewhere, in blogs, articles, videos and books for free. Their generosity has helped me learn many new technologies, programming tricks, and best practices when I needed it, how I need it.
Thank you all!

I feel like I've been burned by the last few wi-fi upgrades, so I'm holding off on the ac upgrade. Am I missing out?

I've seen a dramatic jump in speeds - to the point where I can cut the cable.
(though if a few others start jumping on the router then...where's my cable gone...?)

As a Briton, I'm extremely thankful that Canada isn't the USA.
Best to all my (both real and non-familial) cousins over there.

I'm thankful that at the age of 95, my dad is healthy, happy and able to live independently and enjoy life every day.

So I created a new email address. I've been using the email name I created when I was 16 for ten years now.
Not only do people have problems with the spelling it's also not a very professional sounding email.
So I decided to create a new email address. Both old and new are gmail. So I want to copy my emails and contacts from my old account to my new account and be done with it.
Err! Unfortunately Google's support for these basic features is very sad!
I can copy all my email, but my labels aren't saved. So I just get an inbox with 1000's of emails while my old account had everything neatly organized. I fixed that by using a third party tool, Got Your Back.
Of course I can also copy all my contacts, but Google simply refuses to copy pictures with it! I've Googled around and it's a popular request to save contact pictures. Unfortunately Google hasn't implemented it. I'm still looking for a tool that can copy my contacts AND preserve their pictures...
I also use YouTube via Google. No way in hell I can keep my likes, favourites and subscriptions on my new account. Why the hell should that be a problem!?
Google, in case you're reading, you disappoint me.
Unfortunately there's no real alternative (maybe Outlook, but that just doesn't do it for me), so I'll just keep on using Google services...
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>

public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

You get what you pay for

I guess
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

And you really don't see the advantages of any of that?
When you move house, do you literally pick it up and move it somewhere else?

Not the house (GMail account), but everything that's inside it (emails, contacts), yes literally.
It's an OO world.

{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();

Quoting Wikipedia:
Thanksgiving Day (Jour de l'Action de grâce in Canadian French) is a national holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.
