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

COWBOYS ARE SECRETLY, FREQUENTLY (FOND OF EACH OTHER)
Willie Nelson
Well, there's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas; There's many a young boy who feels things he can't comprehend. And a small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes. No, a small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.
And I believe to my soul that inside every man there's the feminine, And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear. Well, the cowboy may brag about things that he’s done with his women, But, the ones that brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other. Say, what do you think all them saddles and boots was about? And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother, And inside every cowboy there's a lady that'd love to slip out.
And there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper, And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead: So when you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister. You can't fuck with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other. What did you think all them saddles and boots was about? And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother; And inside every lady there's a cowboy who wants to come out. And inside every cowboy there's a lady that'd love to slip out. |

I will pose blurry, low-light photographs of people I know in various public places, shot so it would look like they were either surprised or unawares, and then post it to craigslist missed connections as either m4w or m4m. Ideally, these images and text posts would be easily identifiable as coming from the same person.
Something in the same vein as these email virus messages that were going around May of last year:

Something that creepy and identifiable, leastaways. I'd want at least one shot on the N-Judah, one on BART, and one on a Muni bus. Maybe an m4m ad on the J-Church, although I've never seen one of those in CL-MC. And I could do multiple shots of the same person on the same bus wearing different clothes on different days. Aside from that, I'd need new subjects everytime.
Here's to pipe dreams.
(Edit: It'll work even better if the subjects are shot unflatteringly. Make it seem like ordinary people would not notice these missed connections. Baggy hooded sweatshirts. Tacky black eyeliner.) |

From StadiumPal's testimonials page:
just wanted to tell you thank you for offering a product that is capable of so many wonderful things. My name is Steven and I am a driver for United Parcel Service in Michigan. Having an occupation that requires speed and always on the run, can cause problem with having to pause to use the restroom. There has actually been a couple drivers from my center who have lost their jobs for urinating in bottles in their truck! Now that I have my stadium pal there is no more delay or inconvenience for constantly stopping to use the bathroom. It was a little unusual getting used to, but now I find myself urinating right during delivering packages or conversating with people. What people don't know won't bother them!!!!!!! I am always on time and no more bathroom worry. Thank you Stadium Pal.........
Results, Steven
I'd just worry that eventually you'd slip up and not realize you weren't wearing one on your day off. |

I'm sure this is going to be all over the web log planet, but:
BBC on the first use of spy cameras
Any guesses who the first criminals were that were surveilled in such a fashion?
Ladies and gentlemen! Please, allow me to indroduce to you:

The Suffragettes.
Humans can be so twisted up inside. |

I swear to Jesus that I am not the lead guitarist, vocalist, and manager of Phineas Gage, a "unique hard rock / heavy metal sound, that has attracted an ever growing following" from Milwalkee.
Similarly, Die (my name here) Die has nothing to do with me. All the other top ten hits on Google for my name are really relevant to me. Posts to technical mailing lists.
I say this all as if you care. |
