A company that makes software that we use has a bug that I've been dealing with for months now. They just sent me a MS debugger with instructions on how to set it up. Problem is, their debugger crashes the processes that they're trying to debug. Me thinks their instructions left out something important.

They also sent me a zip within a zip within a zip within a zip. It was like Inception.

coming from south jersey i don't know if i'd do it either. But it's not just a 13 mile course. It has a ridiculous little hill that will put the hurt on everyone. Lots of opportunities for breaks. 13 miles .. 15 miles. I'd just fib on the length if you placed. Set your speedo to a smaller tire size and show the upgrade coordinator your powertap file.

I know the stretch of road ken is talking about and it is a 15+% grade straight down hill for a long distance. It feels like dropping down an elevator shaft after the climb.

Folks around here (south-eastern USA) talk a lot about the 6 Gap ride and how hard it is. Truth be told only Hogpen is a super hard climb. That one hurts bad. The others aren't that bad. Hogpen from either direction hurts a lot.

If it's windbg (or cdb/ntsd) you're debugging with, note that it will 'break' into the process when you first attach it - the -g commandline option will get around that, or just hit 'g' to continue once it breaks in the first time. Just a guess, might not help at all..

Lol - it was a crappy movie with no plot, built around a few special effects? I tried to watch that movie, it was tough..

Just got back from the monthly team meeting. I agreed to go on a ride with Ben P tomorrow in the late afternoon. He is starting to get into great shape. Tomorrow will hurt really bad.

I really feel like I earned my shower today. Over an hour of commuting/riding around town, then gym-ing. Woot.

Side note: I liked inception.

Side side note: I'm seeing girl tomorrow. We hung out pretty much all weekend. I saw her fri sat and sun. This is weird...

She seems to like that I'm weird. That's not normal.

I think that there's something wrong with her.

Edit:

I'm supposed to see her tomorrow night, but she doesn't get free till later so I said that I'd have dinner ready. Then I was like, I'm clearly not wearing the pants in this relationship.
Her response: Make sure you have your apron on when I get there.

Edit 2:

She came over on fri night and I cooked salmon for dinner. It was pretty much the first time I've ever cooked it, but it came out pretty well. We went out to a bluegrass show at a bar and she crashed here. I made us brunch the next morning.
It was one of the best dates I've ever had. Most of the others have seemed to be with her too.

Oy...

I hate crashing. My car's seat rubs up against my road rash, so now I can't drive anywhere without being in extreme pain. I also need to pick up some tagaderm because I'm getting blood all over everything I wear or lay on. O and I freaked out my girl when she saw it.
