Perhaps some hi-res aerial shots of his property at differing heights (if you have the gear for it.) You never know what might come of that.

If we forget about hi-res, he just needs to see my youtube videos.

It never worked, but I was still able to access downloads on msdn.microsoft.com.
Now that page says:
Good news! Your subscription(s) has been migrated to a new portal.
Not good news to me. Using the exact same login credentials:
Sorry, we couldn't find any downloads for you.
Thanks, Microsoft. 
And yes, at some point several months ago I called their help #, was on hold for 1/2 hour, ended up talking to someone from India who said she had to escalate the problem, and no one ever got back to me. I ignored the issue because the MSDN site still worked.

Well, that's one I have rarely experienced.
My working hypothesis is that when MS staff start emitting Cerenkov radiation they are sent to the MSDN gulag to work on documentation where their descent into dementia can be ignored.
Oh, was I just unkind ?

Works on my machine! 
On the blue bar at the top, do you have "Showing: ..." with a drop-down arrow next to it? Try clicking that to see if you've got multiple options. I have "Visual Studio Professional (MPN)" and "Visual Studio Dev Essentials", with a different list of downloads for each.

When you log in the visualstudio.com did you get asked if your account was "Provided by your employer" or a "Personal Account"? (or something along those lines)
If so, I found out that you always have to choose "Personal Account", even if it's employer supplied. I found that nugget buried under a trash heap in the corner of the internet.

Lesson here is that you should not trust people who wear white coats. I'm pretty sure we learned in school what a femur is, but had to look it up anyway

Welcome to the Metalwork Club: your membership card is already installed, and will be checked at every airport, court, and other security scanner!
Mines my right shoulder, rather than a hip - hips are my brother's speciality, he's on his fourth I think. (Being allergic to surgical steel means his don't last more than ten years at best: something they found out almost immediately after fitting his first one)

Some doctor stole a piece of my intestines. Not fun to be in a hospital and see computer-screens displaying errors. Been looking for the CodeProject Q&A logo on each screen.
It's good to be back. I missed being a PITA for the rest of the board

Sounds like fun. Did you notice the theft at the time, or was it later when you woke in a ice bath and counted your kidneys?
Hope the removal has sorted whatever the problem was?
When do they let you eat normally again?

I went 'voluntary'; that's what it is called if it is the only remaining option.

More comparable to a software-patch than a solution, but even that is progress if the computer stops crashing. Got permission to eat all I can. May take a while before that works again, which means I have a good excuse to go for the best beef

I should focus on protein. IIRC, that means less veggies and more meat.
Did not ask about alcohol, already can guess it does not mix well with morphine.

You need a water bath and a vacuum sealer, but...
2 tbsp black peppercorns, ground
2 tsp garlic powder, (or ground dried garlic)
2 rump steaks, about 8 ounces each.
Sauce:
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons brandy
150ml heavy cream
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup beef stock
Dozen or so whole peppercorns
Method
Mix the ground pepper and garlic.
Put the steaks on a board and trim away any extra fat. Press the pepper mixture onto both sides of the meat, coating it completely.
Seal the steaks in a vacuum bag, and Sous Vide at 56C for at least 60 minutes (more doesn’t hurt at all).
Melt the butter with the oil in a heavy frying pan over a high heat. Brown the steaks for 30 seconds or so each side. Remove and place in a warm place.
Pour in the brandy to deglaze the pan, scraping the base then lower the heat and add the onion powder, pepper, and stock. Add the whole peppers and cream slowly and stir them in (as usual, don't add cream to boiling liquid - the stock should help reduce the temperature nicely!) Add any juices from the meat, and serve.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No need for an expensive vacuum sealer; submerge a ziplock in water (keep top dry), add contents, close ziplock. Not completely vacuum, but close enough.
Sounds good with those spices, so thanks for the recipe!
