Did you ever try to eat a clock? It's time consuming, especially if you go back for seconds.

I wonder if that trait is passed down from your large grandfather Ben, he was a tad cuckoo, though it didn't seem to alarm anyone.

Ate a clock?
Isn’t that past your bed time?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

To develop VS extensions with all the new bells and whistles, MS suggest to use the meta-packages, that are combine together all the (over 20 probably) references you need.
Fantastic!
There is a minor problem... When building the project the final product (wsix) does not contain a single DLL from the list one would except...
I should have take sabotage as second subject instead of philosophy... Now I can only think about how to blow MS up...

Hi all!
One customer asked me to solve them a problem which I already solved years ago.
We are speaking of source code here, not libraries or something that can be linked or obfuscated as it is part of an industrial PLC program.
This said, in this case, we are not speaking of selling it, or getting paid to develop something, we are speaking of licensing that code for their use.
As I see it, I should bill them the LICENSE COST and make a license contract that states the use they can do of that, that the intellectual property of the code is mine, but that they can use it without limits in their systems (I won't have any chance to control if they have installed somewhere else).
This should allow me to keep using that code freely and billing them for their right to use it without loosing anything in my side... is that right?
Any hint?
Thank you all!

First; there is copyright. You need to be able to prove the code is yours in court. Mail it to yourself on a CD, and don't open the envelope. The date of the post office is your date. For one project, I sent five of those to myself, since it is cheap to do and I'm a bit paranoid. I'd walk that extra mile to sleep well.
And yes, you should sell licenses, not the code. The code is bloody yours, your work. You sell them a license that says "you can use this, for the time I grant you". You need a lawyer. Don't worry; if your project succesfull the lawyer pays for itself. That's an investment that pays itself back.
Good luck. You came this far, the extra mile isn't going to hurt.

The more modern option would be to upload the code to a private repo on github/etc; and let their records record the date.

Maybe so, but that relies on a third party that can go poof! just when you need them.
And don't tell me github is too big to go poof, either. We both know better.

Your CDRs aren't going to last forever either, and once they go poof you can't prove you actually had your code on them.
I figure the odds of github (and if paranoid <insert second="" company="" name="" here="">) going poof before your optical media does is minuscule.
