I know in my heart that this is sarcasm and I should be offended but ... I've always wanted a talented and brilliant embody so, thank you!

Nah, only 10,718,970 - "Dij the Cat" is technically a sock puppet, even if he has his own email address.

Trust me, that would have worked!
Mind you "Dreamies" Salmon flavour would have worked better - he will even do "Sit!" for them.

That's quite far from Ystradgynlais, isn't it?

An add-on-in that detects the very frequent times it is not ready to perform some operation because:
1. when you click on a Control in WinForms, and then hit F4 to bring up the Property Inspector: it opens said Inspector with no content displayed, requiring you to close said Inspector and re-open it.
2. you choose to open the design-view when you are working in a code-behind view, and it needs to load the Form (that's what it tells you in the in-progress dialog it puts up, anyway) ... even if the design-view tab is currently present in the view-tabs.
Myriad other cases in WinForms, and, I'm sure, similar in ASP, WPF, etc.
So, what is needed is an add-on-in that lets you record (or link to sound-files) of some appropriate sounds to be played during these frequent "pregnant pauses."
So, when it puts up the blank Property Inspector, I can hear something like: "Gate gate paragate parasamgate Bodhi svaha !"
Or, in many other cases of "surprise delays," perhaps: "Not tonight Dear, I have a headache."

How about an animated character similar to "clippy" - let's call him/her/it "curly" - who pops up to entertain you with animated antics until the IDE is ready.

Simply pop up a message saying "Try notepad..."

This is a Microsoft product we are talking about: it can't just "pop up a message".
It has to slide a thing in from the bottom right corner, unfold it into a box, fade it into view, then give you a button to see the message. (Which takes you to the metro screen even if you have windows 7, and won't let you back)
"Pop up a message" - tch! So last week!

I see, back to Java I go...

Google translate did a good job on that: Detected it as Javanese and translated it to English as:
"Gate Gate paragate parasamgate svaha Risen!"
So I manually change the detection to Thai, whereupon it magically become:
"Gate gate paragate parasamgate Bodhi svaha!"
Which is clearly much, much more useful...

Try searching on Prajnaparamita Sutra, Heart Sutra, or, Lotus Sutra, or try: [^].
The last time I said this (out loud, with this body's voice) was when the next-door neighbor, a Thai, asked me to come over and see Milo. Milo was his very friendly aged cocker-spaniel, who, imho, like all long-haired dogs, suffered mightily in the heat and humidity of Thailand.
At his house my friend showed me a freshly covered over excavation, and said, in Thai: "Milo's dead." For whatever reasons I bowed (made the "wai" gesture) to the late Milo's grave, and said the mantra: to my delight, and surprise, my Thai friend, a Buddhist, promptly said: "Amen"
Way back in the late paleolithic, before even Visual Basic, when I used to meditate at the Berkeley Zendo, this Sutra would be chanted in English after the sesshin was over: it was always comical to be part of a group of thirty, or so, people speaking in unison: "no eyes, no ears, no mouth," etc.
cheers, Bill

I would like a plug-in that would tell me when I'm being stupid. Problem is, it might get stuck in an infinite loop.
