Working on T-SQL code to look at Windows Active Directory groups. Things going well.
Started on the live server as I had just did some updates. I decided testing should really be done on the development server.
Switch servers. Code no longer works.
Development server does not have AD groups as it is on a separate domain. 
Its going to be a long day!

Your real name isn't Larry Storch is it? 
I was a big F-Troop fan and he was my favorite character and the Hekawis were awesome!
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Yeah, usually whenever someone tells me about some new classic TV service I ask whether or not they have F-Troop. One of them does now, but I'd prefer on-demand so I can watch a bunch at a time.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I've heard that the original name for the Hekawi was Fugawi?

No, I looked sort of like him when I was young and had hair.

Boss back on Monday, Test Rig software a complete elephant up. Hardware modded with only minimal direction of what has changed, software that will only work with the old hardware, the job being to mod it so it works, it is impossible. An ini file that is strange to say the least, no documentation for how the product works.  I being the poor s.o.b. who has to make it work will be asked the following at least "didn't you ask X for a diagram", "yes, but didn't get it". I get the feeling that this is a product that was in development and suddenly changed to production with out thought of what is wrong or right with it (or documentation). I have about a day and half for a complete re-write.

If they get awkward with you tell them it's their own damn fault for giving you so little time to sort out a load of crap that they didn't do properly in the first place.

Lemme' guess VB6 right?
You should be good at that by now. < sarcasm > VB6 is good for quick turn-around code. < /sarcasm >
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Ummm, VB6 as VB.Net with other assorted goodies the further I dig.

Take your time and document everything that doesn't work. When asked why it isn't done start reading from the list.
I found out a long time ago that people cannot push you if you push back.
The first time I got to use this was when I told a manger that I needed 2 weeks to code 3 modules. He said do it in one week. I countered and said let's do it in 3 days since it is not going to work at the end of the week anyway. He gave me 2 weeks.
Never be afraid to give a realistic estimate and don't back down.

As long as you are not the cause of the problem sit back and enjoy the show.

Earth's terminator, to be exact, and not so much a picture as a movie:
Equinox on a Spinning Earth[^] is a short (15 second) movie taken from a year's worth of satellite images aligned so the planet looks immobile. This gives a view of how the terminator -- the boundary between night and day -- moves from one autumn equinox to the next.
And just in time for the spring equinox tomorrow! (Or today, depending on where you are on the planet.)
(Corrected information.)
(Corrected the correction.)

Fun movie!

Should the terminator go horizontal, then termination will have been completed.

I can play Thunderstruck pretty well on my guitar and came accross some youtube tutorials of the song. Interesting, I think, might be some trick or detail I can improve on.
Are there bad tutorials out there or what, some of them can hardly hold a guitar and their version doesn't even come very close. 
What "struck" me the most is that almost ALL versions use picking (with one claiming that picking is the "real" way of doing it. Personally I think Angus uses both methods, I've seen him use picking on live shows.)
So I was curious, am I the only person on this planet playing Thunderstruck with only hammer-on's and pull-off's (for the intro)?
How do you play it?
