More fun with SSIS deployment [Tue, May. 19th - 5pm]
[Tags|, ]

So you're trying to deploy a SQL Server Integration Services package to a 2005 server, but you recently installed SQL Server 2008? Not behaving nicely?

I get this error, over and over again:



Full text:
TITLE: Package Installation Wizard
------------------------------

Could not save the package "C:\ss\SSIS\Control-Import GLPMF_CSH.root\Control-Import GLPMF_CSH\Control-Import GLPMF_CSH\bin\Deployment\Control Import GLPMF_CSH 2005.dtsx" to SQL Server "kci-marts".

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Storing or modifying packages in SQL Server requires the SSIS runtime and database to be the same version. Storing packages in earlier versions is not supported.

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------
Thanks, ass. It's NOT an earlier version! This is a 2005 package! It should be aces, right? Well, you think you're using the 2005 tools, but you're not. Your first clue that something is going wrong is here:



That's version 10, when you are supposed to be using the version 9 tools.

Here's what fixed it for me:



If you have any idea how to make this sensical (changing the path, as per this article, did nothing) to me, I would hugely appreciate that. Actually, if you can tell me how to fix the guts behind that "open with" menu in general, I will give you a little kiss.

When you are deleting spam messages in gmail because it feels so satisfying: [Fri, Dec. 5th - 11am]

Sometimes, when I need to do something to calm down, I will check my spam folder for false positives.

My first email from my friend Anne, six years ago when we re-caught-up after college, went to spam and I never woulda noticed if I didn't have this occasional habit, so. Also, new developments in spam are totally hilarious and fascinating to me.

Every time I've done this, I click "Select: All" & "Delete Forever" a few times in succession, because there are no false positives aside from Anne. Across the top of the screen it says something like "1 - 25 of 3611".

But it alternates between showing 25 or 20 messages per screenfull.

1 - 25 of 3587
1 - 20 of 3562
1 - 25 of 3542
1 - 20 of 3517

WHY? THIS IS THE FOUNT OF MY MADNESS.

If you leave the spam box, it remembers the amount of messages it was showing you. However, if you click "Older >>" to view more messages, it skips you to "26-50 of 3517". It will always show you 25 message chunks when you page forward, even if you were only looking at 20, as if you were looking at 25. Skipping 5 potentially excellent spam messages! Why?! If you page forward in *any* mailbox & return to the front page of your spam box, it reverts to showing you 25 messages.

I could go on. If you have any further questions on the details of this quirk, just ask. Unfortunately my curiosity (WHY?!?!) is a little hard to satisfy on this subject, because googling "gmail 20 25" obviously isn't going to get me very far, and I am not sure whether anyone else on the planet gives a flying eff.

My best guess is that it is part of some brilliant user-interface coup, or it is for defeating robots.

My new dentist might do ok for a replacement shrink. She just spent 30 minutes telling me how nice my teeth are. Repeatedly. With enthusiasm. And my teeth were stressing me out, man.
