Response to MehGerbil:
You try parking you car each morning when some hairy fat old man is watching you from his room, with binoculars and his hand down his trousers doing unmentionable things - then posts about your parking on codeproject!

I don't know what you're implying there.
I'm not hairy.

Is this like the hairless cat; or a different form of horror.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

I remember when I started working many years ago, there was a set time I needed to leave by in order to avoid traffic issues, both going to work and leaving work.
If I didn't leave by set time, it was my fault; not the fault of the other drivers.
So, if one wishes to avoid waiting for a parking spot or seeing someone try to park, one should leave earlier. Simple enough.

My aunt learnt to drive in the 1970s and quite soon after passing her test took her friends down to the town. One of the friends was amazed when my aunt reversed the car into a parking space. Apparently she did not do reversing, and if it was ever required, her husband did it!
One of our other family stories must date from about 1962 when my father had built himself a small boat. At the weekend we would tow it down to a nearby lake which was at the end of a narrow single track road. One time we met a tractor coming the other way, whereupon my father leant out of the car window and shouted out, "I can't reverse. I've got a trailer". The tractor driver replied, "Well I've got two trailers so you'll have to". I don't remember how long it took him to get out of that mess but later at home he practiced reversing my toy tractor and trailer through an obstacle course laid out on the dining room table until he knew how to do it properly.

My dad once got stuck with a truck and trailer in Amsterdam during peak traffic.
Amsterdam is just lots of narrow, medieval streets, just wide enough to get through.
Until a pole blocked my dads way. Of course he had to reverse the entire thing, but lots of cars had already gathered behind him.
And so started a half an hour long reverse car polonaise
He went into the IT field after that

I love those sort of stories of parents and their family in driving moments..
Best one I ever heard was from my dad. When he was posted in Harrogate in Yorkshire at an Army training camp they decided that he needed to learn to drive to progress up the ranks.
While on the driving lesson he was asked to take the 3rd exit on the roundabout and somehow ended up in the middle of a large roundabout. Second lesson somehow he crashed it into a wooden bus shelter. After that crash he never tried learning to drive until we lived in Londonderry some 10 years later and then he crashed a car into a lamp post.
Eventually he passed his driving test after his 50th birthday and still to this day he doesn't actually drive.
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

I've given up hope on ever becoming good at parking...
I now have a small car so at least I can park a little sideways and still be in the parking spot.

Adjust your mirrors!
No, seriously - adjust them.
Go to an empty carpark and get the car neatly in a space. Take your time!
Then sit in the driver's seat and adjust your mirrors so you can see the three lines which mark the space and the car - if you remember where they are in relation to your normal seated position (or mark them on the mirror with a Chinagraph pencil), you can now use the mirrors to locate exactly where your car should be as you reverse in.
When you're happy, drive out then try reversing into another space. It's surprising how much difference it makes just knowing where you are...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Well you could also buy a camera for reverse driving
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I think some of the car manufacturers are trying to force that option on you! The Fraud Festa for example has such a small rear window that you need a camera to see anything...

I have to admit that parallel parking with a full trailer is a bit taxing.
|
|
|
|

I actually typed out a similar letter, printed it and placed it under the windshield wiper of the offending vehicle. It was some goober who straddled the parking space line, I mean dead center straddled so no one could park close to his truck.

I've been handing certificates [^] out for some time. I doubt that it makes any difference to the retard but it does make me feel better. It is a bit of an Afrikaans / South African joke, but anybody should get the idea behind it.

I've been hearing about this new fangled thing called the cloud... ... Enough crud, I do killer MVC and AJAX, etc. I have long (since classic ASP) had a portfolio site that I keep updated, especially when I'm looking for a yob. The last update was with MVC 4 (love MVC). The website is pretty cheap overall, I think I pay $80 a year for ASP.Net and have MySQL available, so I can do want I want. (I host the Cosmic Store, selling fine spaceships, weaponry and other SciFi paraphernalia). I only need the bandwidth of a good soda straw.
The point is that I only use the site about once every year, but the cost is low enough as to be ignored. Along comes Azure. I need to be practicing development there. We don't use the cloud at all..... yet. I am experienced enough to know that I had better be ready. I know that I can get a free month of usage from MicroSquish, but that will not serve my purpose. I need something that I can work on over the years as I learn new methods and as far as I understand the cheapest Azure account is about $50 a month. That is not negligible. VS 2015 is coming. Is there anyway to get a "hobby" site like I have described for cheap?
