It's about as likely as finding a jewfish in a church.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Hi All,
Two big things One) pointless stand up meetings (I'm doing X not having any issues was said as response) Two) the Arduino I am playing with will talk over the Ethernet but not ping!

Ah! You need the machine that goes "Ping!", that's your problem. You can lease one back from the company you sold it to; that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

My wife just got a new iPhone 7, and it makes a "ping" sound when she gets an alert. So of course I couldn't help but say "I see that you have the machine that goes ping...".

I believe ping is disabled by default on Debian et al. That, and you may need to configure your router to open the port. ping uses.

Welcome to Agile. Too bad we are agile enough to dodge the daily standup. There is a collective cheer any time it gets cancelled. Why do we have to announce when nothing is "blocking" us? Wouldn't it be more Agile to only mention it if there WAS something impeding your progress.
Does my heart good to see Work on the end of your name.

What and take away a manger opportunity to micro manage what you do.
We have 3 of these a week and some last an hour or more (3 dev, 1 BA, 1 other) I don't think they have the right idea about stand ups.

There's an ointment for that.

My responce "I'm doing X not having any issues", true, the Arduino issue is to over come another teams issues I can't be asked formally as I would have to bill my time to that project (and then answer all sorts of 'you are not working on that' questions) the issues is 'use an Arduino' is a PM get of jail free card to why an issue is a pain, problem is there was only one person who knew how to use them (who shook my hand vigarously when I joined, also use the odd phrase 'welcome to Arduino h*ll...)

Hi all,
I need to make a quotation to a customer and I've tried to start the job to see how it would be automating visual studio to reconfigure a running machine (hardware thing with a PLC and CNC that need to change the number of physical elements involved without needing a programmer there).
Given the PLC and CNC software is not prepared to do that, and that the software used to program all those things is embedded into Visual Studio... I've started a small program to reconfigure the items in the project automagically.
It seems it will work so I'll be capable to make a quotation for that customer.
Anyway, the C# editor is really nice. 
I'm testing all those things in a console application and the way you can concatenate strings is also really nice...
I know you could overload the + operator in C/C++, but here it works out of the box already...
I think C# and me will be friends from now on...

And so it begins. Next, your dating, then there's a ring, and pretty soon, it'll be "'til death do us part." 
I definitely hitched!

Same here, but I've still got C++ dry-humping my leg now and then  .

Ah thank Ghu I managed to stop VB from doing that.

I'm also a big fan of C# and the .NET framework. So much, that I even prefer building native Android apps using C#/Xamarin instead of Java.

Always wondered about that but never went that far. Android and C# combo seems really odd to me.

That's understandable. 
I initially used Eclipse/Java when I was learning Android. However, I'm primarily a .NET developer and have lots of legacy C# code that's very stable and well tested. When I decided to write my first real Android app (a port of this[^] desktop app), the decision to use C#/Xamarin was a no-brainer. Not only did I not have to rewrite (and retest) thousands of lines of business and persistence logic, I got to use my favorite IDE (VS) instead of Android Studio, which isn't bad, but one that I'm not very familiar with.
Also, being able to replace setFoo() and getFoo() in Java with a simple C# property .Foo seems much cleaner, not to mention all the goodness of C# (e.g. Linq) that I get to use in my Android app.
I'm lovin' C# and Xamarin thus far!

Hmm.. Never tried C# as embedded. But C# on Android, can't wait 'til .NET Core is officially support in Android OS.
