Hah! 39GB. The install I did last night; 55GB and that didn't select everything for installation.

Yeah, I didn't install the C++ stuff this time - and of course the first GIT project I open has a small C++ project, so it's now adding that... Sigh | :sigh:

I don't seriously use C++ any more - it's easier to do it all in C#, and the performance difference is nowhere near what it was to start with.

So "39GB" = "not bad" nowadays.

I remember decades ago (there goes grampa again with his stories) buying a computer for schoolwork from a small local shop (actually a summer job employer of mine) and insisting I needed a big fat hard drive because Borland C++ was going to use 33MB[*] on its own.

I remember the company owner (my boss at the time) wondering out loud, WTF does a compiler need a whole 33MB for???

[*] Not a typo in my units

I was thinking of the time it took, really.
I remember installing VB from a huge stack of floppies and it took longer than that...

Most of the 39GB is Xamarin, so it's Android images, their .NET equivalent, and such like.

Hah! young'uns.
I remember using MS FORTRAN on an IMSAI 8080 with 48K RAM from floppies where you had to swap floppies midway through a compilation ( The compiler was on the floppies - as was the FORTRAN source)

Tried several time to install AnkhSVN and it installed successfully but doesn't show up in Options? Overall I'm impressed with how quick it went, without Xamarin for me.

And Git is built in, it seems - certainly, connecting to my repo's worked fine.

Yeah I ssw that, guess I'll have to break don and learn git. I've tried a couple of times but after using SVN for so many years it;s like trying to learn to pitch left handed.

I saw the end of a rainbow the other day

I too installed VS2017 yesterday. I remoted into my PC at home and installed it. Checked it later in the day and got "Setup Failed".

There was a View Log link which opened the log in Notepad. The failure was

Package 'CordovaToolset.6.3.1,version=6.3.1.36' failed to install.

Only Cordova failed. That's not so bad I guess. It started up OK.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

My wife and I were driving home after a nice non-alcoholic lunch a couple of Sundays ago. There was rain in the air and the brightest rainbow I have ever seen arching across the sky. We came through the village of Stoneleigh and drove across the river bridge. Rather than turn sharp right along the main road, we decided to take the road up the hill in front of us. As I glanced right to make sure it was clear and then started to go up the hill, both my wife and I saw a distinct rainbow against the trees that form the wood on the right hand side of the road. It was projecting vertically down the trunks of the trees with a small but distinct gap between them, and I could see where it hit the ground. I have never seen anything like it before.

I haven't worked for the last 7 years. I got made redundant when I reached 67, the b's. Now I just try and keep out of the way of Her Indoors and play at developing web-sites. I'm developing one at the moment using Metro UI rather than Bootstrap, and having fun doing it.

Red pointed hat? Really? I thought everything was green in Ireland.

Not everything. One of the best things is Ireland is a muddy brown with a nice creamy froth on top.

Yes I saw the same thing a couple of weeks ago, in my case the rainbow was definitely between my viewpoint and a small white cottage.

xiecsuk9-Mar-17 1:25

That would have made it a bit easier to see the colours. I could only make out 4 or 5 of them. I don't think the outside ones where visible anyway.

It did, I remember thinking at the time, perhaps that's where the pot of gold thing came from, just the shear amazement of seeing a rainbow up close like that.
