From the link: The house in Sleman, on the island of Java, is on the market for 999 million rupiah (about US$75,000).
Wow, 133 rupiah for 1 US penny?

One other way to look at it is whether you get a similar house in the US for $ 75,000. Which states and neighborhoods.
Of course, ignoring the wife part of the deal.

I was just marveling at the exchange rate. Yes, you're not likely to find much of a house anywhere for $75,000, except perhaps those with wheels.

Agree. Exchange rates are really intriguing.
When I went to Japan, about eighteen years ago, I gave them US $ 1000, and they gave me back more than a hundred thousand Japanese Yen. First time I saw *so much* money.

Yesterday I was once again reminded that it's often easier to solve a problem if you remove yourself from your work environment, as that forces you to think in a clear and unbiased manner.
For the past couple of days I've been stymied by a code smell re: the need to include Interop.Shell32.dll with a custom installer I'm writing for one of my freeware apps. The emphasis is on ease of use by a complete novice, and I wanted the user to be able to run a single standalone .exe that had no dependencies, other than the presence of .NET. Anyway, I figured I'd come up with a solution (that honestly seemed hackish at best).
Last night, I walked to the kitchen to turn out the light and found myself (involuntarily) drawn to a container of chocolate icecream. Several minutes and several more spoonfuls later, a ridiculously simple (and much more elegant) solution hit me. All this while I was no nowhere near my PC or Google.
Moral of the story: eat more icecream.

What was the solution?
I've made a .Net WPF app a single exe by embedding the required dlls as resources in a post build event and then using OnAssemblyResolve (or something like that) to load them when needed.

That was the smell.
I decided to instead keep the installer brain-dead simple (i.e. it just downloads the app and deposits it in a user-specified folder). After downloading, the app is started and instructed to delete the installer and create a shortcut in the Startup folder. That way, the interop .dll is one of the app's components and lives with it. The .dll is also required at run-time, because the app has a "Start with Windows" preference that can be toggled at any time.
