Seriously, you check your rep votes daily, that's almost narcissistic.

Never checked mine. Only see the number in the top right. Don't know how these people find that they have a -16 vote or whatever.

Well, in case you want to know,

You just want to test the system again, or at least break it a little.
I have to admit I do check the rep stuff, approx twice a year. I am amazed the volume of downloads that are still done on the articles, 6 years after they were written!

I find it really handy, because the topic of a discussion often has nothing to do with its title, so a list of the topics you've posted messages to can help you find really important things that people say in the Lounge.

I don't know, personally I'm using it as a transaction log as it's readily available in the upper right corner, and I don't have to check each different category under my profile.

And then there's me checking the reputation every now and then with the Reputation Watcher (a Chrome extension).

Oh your not the only one by a huge margin, I just find it weird.
I had to give up on mirrors, too bloody expensive.

I've been inside this room[^] once. Mirrors everywhere. It's a very surreal experience, I can really recommend it sometime

On a completely unrelated note - when did you change your "Lazy<Person>" signature?

Last weekend. That one started out as a little humour, but then people actually started to believe I was lazy.
That's not quite the image I wish to convey

And guess what, I have it as the signature of my primary email! 
I don't care about people because everyone I communicate using that email already knows that I am too lazy.

I'm looking into using Quartz.net[^] but I haven't seen a good UI so that the user can schedule their own jobs.
Just curious what other people have used. Have you exposed scheduling to end users? If so how detailed was it, meaning could the user choose which days of the week, or perhaps every 3rd Tuesday, etc.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You can give a try with this one and extend the same based on your requirement.

I believe it depends on the target user how well they understand the system. To some extent you can give this ability but as the best practices of Quartz says, you need to be really careful in exposing the scheduling ability as it requires a tight security else any malicious user can even destroy the system.
Thanks,

Personally, I've always used plain .NET Console applications that are being started via the Windows Task Planner (or how it is called now) on e.g. a Web server.
Always satisfied my needs.

Wouldn't you need someone to be logged on for that to happen? Wouldn't a windows service work better?

I configure the task to run when the system starts. I also configure a user to run under.
Windows services are way harder to debug. I never had the need to use it when a console app also did the job.

OK. Thank you for the input.

A long time ago I this this in Visual FoxPro. Essentially the user got to pick a job, which mapped to a DLL that was run via a scheduler. Mostly for running processes after hours, such as data aggregation.
Now, I'm actually about now halfway through creating a scheduler app in C# 4.5/WPF. It looks like Quartz has many of the same features:
1. Allows the developer to create Groups which contains any number of Tasks. These are essentially assemblies that implement an interface with an "void Execute(object params, object data)" method. The developer codes the assembly and uses the "Publish" feature to put it on the server. Processes and task have an "Order" so you can control the sequence they run.
2. Has the same scheduling options as Windows Scheduler (Minutes, Hours, Days, Months, and Once Only)
2. WPF UI.
3. SQL Server 2008 accessed via WCF hosted in a windows service for single instance or in IIS for multiple server based scheduler instances for load balancing.
4. Allows passing of data returned from one process to another.
5. Full logging.
6. Email Notifications.
I'd like to hear more about what you're looking for as far as requirements.
I'll publish it here when I'm done.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Yuck. A scheduler can easily get out of hand quickly. For example, you can support very simple schedules: weekdays, weekends; or very complex ones allowing the user to pick every other Wednesday during May, then every Thursday during June, etc. It can get complex quite quickly depending on how flexible you need it.
Right now, I'm not sure how flexible the scheduling needs to be. Likely it will be on the simpler end of the spectrum.
I just need something that allows us to schedule sql stored procedures, possibly command line exes, and who knows what else but is flexible enough we don't have to recompile code every time we need something new scheduled.
