Look! Less than 30 days until the Milkman expires, which reminds me that I have a few posts to publish. I will start posting them this week and end with another milestone post. I wish I could post the Milkman dance … *hint* *hint* … Sum Yum Do!
I downloaded the Microsoft .NET Pet Shop 4.0 application from MSDN to review the source code. I would have preferred a .zip archive, instead it was packaged as a Windows Installer file. Dammit.
I do not want to execute the .msi package just to extract the source code and who knows what else is defined in the installation database. In the old .cab days, I would use the .cab extractor utility to extract the files.
Well, I searched for the equivalent for .msi files and found a couple of candidates. The Less MSIerables utility is a must have tool. I opened the Pet Shop 4.0 .msi file, selected the files I wanted to extract, and clicked the extract button. Nice!
I want to give our readers a sneak peak of posts in the queue, so here are the (draft) titles for your review:
The above posts will counter bad advice and habits practiced by two idiots. These idiots do not understand software development or its basic principles. Both reckless runts continue to push their idiotic ideas and principles on a project team.
Somehow, I think they have convinced themselves that they (alone) are the reason for the project’s success. Because they will NEVER admit to screwing crap up or doing wrong. One retard never acknowledged his bugs, screwing up merges, and breaking builds.
Bonus, I will post some VB.NET snippets too. Top down programming using a strongly-typed, object-oriented language. Nice. It takes mad skills to do this people. Please do not disturb, Microsoft Certification at work!
I am interested in purchasing a domain name, which is currently parked by a squatter. So, I contacted the owner and he sent me a quote based on a useless estibot valuation. Not to mention, he wants to unload another useless domain name as part of the sale.
First, I do not want the second domain name and I am not going to pay the useless estibot value. The domain was dropped, because the first owner did not care enough to renew it and the other TLDs are still available, because there is no demand.
I am going to register the .net domain name and send him my response, “Pound sand idiot, because I am not buying anything from you!” The domain name is worth approximately $40 USD, but he wants $225 USD for the domain plus the second useless domain.
Nope, it is not who you think. Instead, I wanted to post the location of a speed trap on 80 near Six Flags. CHP vehicles frequently park on the on ramps located near American Canyon Road. The trap is 2 miles North of Marine World Parkway in Vallejo.
So, if you are speeding near the Theme Park and you know you are dammit. Keep the eyes open for CHP or ease up on the pedal as you pass Marine World Parkway on 80. I will take a picture the next time I see 5-0 squatting on the ramps.

Someone call 9-1-1, I was raped in S.F. Yes, $29.00 for less than 3 hours parking in a public garage! The daily maximum was advertised as $18.00 and $6.00 after 4:00pm, how did I end up paying $29.00? No attendant of course. Scammers.
I own a small portfolio of domain names and have been selling them off to focus on a select number of projects. I sold esocialnetwork.com and esocialnetworks.com several weeks ago and noticed the new owner has developed one of the domain names, nice.
Whose bright idea was it to have the party THIS weekend? If Scooter had not called me, I would have thought that we were going to hold it the first week of June. This would give us time to plan a few of the details, but NO!
I called a couple friends of mine, but they are not available. I will keep checking and hope to confirm availability in the next day or two. Scooter is providing the home; I am providing the party peeps, who is buying the food, drinks, etc?
Scooter … should we initiate a cover charge or use the honor system? I should collect for the crowd augmentation services too. If I hear, “good lord that is expensive”, we will have to open up a can of you know what on you.
Calling all sprinters, walkers, spectators! Summer is right around the corner, so I would like to propose a summer run on Saturday, June 21, 2008. This gives us out of shape old timers eight (8) full weeks to train for the event.
Since I know darn well that a callout will not get you to the track, I think we need to ante up or shut up. Send in your suggestions for date, time, and prizes. I will order WassupJose trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!
Put the remote control down, roll off the couch, and register for the race. Scooter Boy will you volunteer to pace us for the first lap? You can use the scooter of course. If the 1 mile is too much for the old timers, we can consider a fast-paced 800 meter. Nice.
