Unity Application Block – Lab 01

Alright so I didn't end up making it through the entire lab last night, but I did get through several of the steps. This is actually difficult to learn. Maybe next time I'll try it without a glass of wine.

So who's dumber, The guy writing the email for hitting Reply To All or the people he's complaining about. I report, you decide.

I present to you Exhibit A:

Dear AdminPerson,

On behalf of the few moronic humans who occupy this building who did not have a care-giver in their life teaching them to clean up after themselves, I apologize for their lack of courtesy.  I am also sorry you had to even send out a note such as this.  I guess for some of us it is simply too difficult to take responsibility for our own actions and to think of the next person.

Thank you, AdminPerson.

Good afternoon,

Facilities would like to remind staff that the restroom facilities are communal areas.  When using the restroom please be courteous to others and clean up after yourself.  This includes putting tissue in the appropriate receptacles and not leaving it for others to clean up.  If the restroom requires additional cleaning or a hazardous situation occurs such as a spill, please report it.

Your continued cooperation and common courtesy are appreciated.

AdminPerson

Unity Application Block

I need to get my learn on so I pinged my mentor and our good friend WassupJose for advice on Dependency Injection. He pointed me to Microsoft's Unity Application Block. I've downloaded all the materials and have started up on Hands-On Lab 1. I'm going to try and post on my progress on a daily basis to keep myself on task. Nothing like some accountability to keep you moving...

Cold Sell

I run into the local supermarket last night to pick up a couple of items and more importantly to refill my water buckets for the fish tank. (I decided to start buying them filtered water to help my algae problem) I walk into the store with my cart filled with the empty containers and head towards the refrigerated section since I needed to pick up some eggs. I suddenly catch the vibe that someone is following me. Maybe because K-Man was suppose to visit me this weekend and didn't the guy happened to remind me of him, but I notice that there's an Indian fellow tailing me. However, this guy is acting a little odd. He's obviously following me, but pulling the "I'm looking at this handy kitchen appliance on display as soon as the person I'm tailing turns around to look at me." Strange. I grab my eggs and pull up to the water filtration center and start filling my containers and sure enough this guy pulls up right next to me. "Is that purified water?" I answer in the affirmative and try to give him some more details about the process since he seems to be curious. I tell him where I purchased my containers and the reason why I happened to choose this station. He just continues to gaze at the machine and seems to be taking in the display. I figure he's trying to make a decision on whether to buy some water. Then he says, "I have a purifier at home, which with a family of 3-4 would equate to 30 cents a gallon a year." hah! This mofos is trying to sell me a product. I humored him a bit and then went on my way. He had my number the whole time when he saw me walk into the store with those water jugs. I hope though, for his sake, that he doesn't just stand around waiting for people to walk in with empty water jugs all night.
