Datarock - Datarock Datarock

Oh my God.

Datarock is easily one of my new bouncy favorites. The only way I can describe them is disco acid pop. There’s prob­a­bly a better way of explain­ing them, but that’ll work for lack of the cre­ation of new words.

As an aside, I want to apol­o­gize for the title of this post. I’m using the normal format, but their first album is actu­ally called “Datarock Datarock” so it makes for some crummy arti­cle titling.

What the hell day is it again?

So how about that sched­ule of mine eh? I was doing so well too… well alright not that well but better than I was expect­ing given that I’m in school once again.

So what have I been up to that has kept be so busy over the past couple weeks that would ruin my blog ethic? School (assign­ments and tests alike), a side project that went public, home­work, wed­dings and a desire to finally beat a game that I’ve owned for far, far too long.

Raspberries: Not Just Slang for Tongue-actions Anymore

Okay, maybe I’m just going insane, but I’m pretty sure there has been a sharp increase in raspberry-​flavoured goods.

Cannot insert the value NULL into column Name, Thanks SharePoint

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.

Inconsistency Melts Brains

Everyone’s done it. We get lazy, we’re pressed for time, or we oth­er­wise don’t care enough to stan­dard­ize our stuff. I can note this most preva­lently in code, but it easily extends into design and every day life.

I cannot claim to be inno­cent of this crime, nor would I. It takes effort, expe­ri­ence, and an iron will not to cut cor­ners in every­thing you do.

A Lesson In Driving

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.

A bit messed up.

So yeah, this past week’s been some­what busy, as I have had a room upgrade and had to move all my junk into another part of the house. This also requires me to go wire­less, so I may not be online for a while (we’ll see how instal­la­tion goes).

Regard­less, here is some­thing to tide you over.
