How good is your memory? Chances are it’s better than mine. At the very least, your short-term memory has to be better than mine, as mine borders on ‘utterly pathetic.’

As i recently mentioned, I’ve redone my website a tad and I busted my ass to cover as many of the style bugs as possible. Everything was going well until I upgraded to Wordpress 2.6. Now I’m not saying the version of Wordpress busted my website good and proper, but that’s what happened.

Something I lack.

For the last month, I’ve had no time in which to complete some things that I really want to get done. Sadly, my priorities are all messed up. Well, alright, not messed up, but due to their arrangement I’m forced to put things on the back burner.

Hence no Monday post. I’ll try and do better for Thursday, but I cannot promise anything this week. Trying to finish work for a side-client, and my daytime job has been insanely busy as of late. Throw in Mothers day and my weekend bar job and you get an amazing lack of time available. I’ve been going to bed after 12:30 every night for the last two weeks.

I tried to create a Custom List. I had event receivers attached to custom lists and i got this:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column ‘Name’, table ‘[somesharepointcontentdatabase].dbo.EventReceivers’;
column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.

I found out what this means and how to get around it.

So recently Microsoft was doing something. I say something because I don’t know what it was they were doing, only that it affected many users of the popular chat client Live Messenger (MSN Messenger for those not bothering to keep up). Basically it cut off a good section of people - myself included - from the service. The best part is that different people were getting different error messages, and there were different workarounds that worked some of the time.

Alright, so a post at 11:30 pm on the day you say you’re going to post still counts right? Regardless, here we are. My only defense is that I was no where near a computer for the time required to actually put something together. I’ll make it up to any/everyone that actually reads this.

Anyways, todays little post is a little bit of a bitch. That is to say that I am bitching about something that to this day manages to blow my mind.

Why the hell can’t people drive in the snow?

Seriously, it’s been around longer than we have. We have developed wheel-drives, tires, break-styles, wiper-blades, anti-freezing, self-heating, Pi-calculating cars. So despite our advances against the frozen flecks of water still manage to turn everyone into drooling, knuckle-dragging morons whos only response to having to drive in the stuff is to go under twenty km at any given time. For those out there still using the imperial system, that’s roughly 12.4 miles per hour.

So I just spent four hours of my life fighting with SharePoint 2007. I can’t explain all the details because my employer pays me, which in turn pays the bills and they frown upon my telling of company secrets. I can, however, bitch about some things that have been irritating me over the past while. As it turns out everything I hate converged on me today.

Let the story begin!
