Amazing game! Unbelievable that they're through to the semi-finals! 
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head (Metal Health)[^]
In purely related news I've spent the last 3.5 hours trying to get a copy of a rails site I did a bit of maintenance work on 2 years ago running locally without the assistance of the primary developer (who's on vacation).
Could be worse I suppose, my frustration levels haven't reached the point of classic: System Of A Down - Elephant The System [^]
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've got a lot of heavier stuff too; this was about the meta though.

Boy does that bring back memories. Which I wish I could permanently delete. No recycle bin!
I probably have a price point where I'd work on Ruby on Rails again, but I doubt the RNC and DNC coffers combined would hit it.

Yeah. I'd been happily rails free for about 2 years when this malodorous lump landed on my plate.
I've gone from:
Why me?
To WTE won't this work, Google says I just need to force bundle to update itself to the latest version and I should be able to download all the gems that were added in the last 2 years.
To, hmmm I guess I need to update RoR to a newer version than it was on; but still not to the latest one.
To, I have WtfLib.dll in my ruby/bin folder, and WtfGem has been deprecated since before the project was started, so never mind why I need to download a stand alone copy of WtfLib, why do I need this stupid gem at all.
To, if I force it to use HTTP instead of HTTPS I can finally sneak the last bits I need to download past the corporate firewall. (Other options include figuring out how to make the downloader use a proxy, figuring out how to make it use NTLM authentication and feed it the https mitm proxy's cert, and accidentally dropping my laptop down a flight of stairs.)
To, ok the rails bit is running, now I need to get the database up. But rake db:lol omg:bbq are all failing with 'unable to fork postgress: unknown reason'.
To, this might actually be the only time that stopping and restarting something (postgress) actually fixed a problem.
To, having to manually set a targeted config setting via an environment variable sorta makes sense; but for all that's unholy why was rake db:create defaulting to test, while :migrate defaulted to localDevelopment.
To, rake's finally able to start building the db up. Emphasis on start, the migration scripts are crashing sometime in 2013.
To, elephant this, time for the long weekend. ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) :cider: :whisky: :scotch: :bourbon:
Yeah it was a fun afternoon.

Ouch.
Ruby and Rails are clusterelephants of complete crappiness written by special little sunshines.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Since my new serializer is now working I am going to put it on github this weekend and start working on a CodeProject article.
But Here comes a very important question: what name to chose?  
One the one hand, just like latest nuget package nomenclature, I could name it after the assembly name, that would be something like Galador.Serialization or maybe Galador.Reflection (might as well put some other reflection utilities)
On the other hand, in the spirit of javascript silly pompous name I could call it TRex?
So many questions!

|

Just don't call it Star Trex, or...
It was broke, so I fixed it.
|
|
|
|
|
Wow! Such a good name! 
|
|
|
|
|
Ah yes. Cos nothing says 'not pompous at all' like Galador! 
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
|

Galador is my Wizard name since 1994!!!
It's also my domain name, behold this, cough cough awesome web page[^]!

How about Quisp[^], the cereal serializer, as an added bonus, it comes with its own alien mascot, who I think is Bobs cousin.

Sadly Quisp is not gluten free.
That just won't do it for me!
