I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I would throw something out here. I got a kick out of this IM chat I just had with my wife:

me: i hate ASP.NET
wife: what do you need to know
wife: i haven't brushed up in awhile
wife: but i might be able to help you
me: ahahaha
me: tell my why this isn't being declared when the class is being compiled
me: strFullPath = Request.Path.Substring(0,Request.Path.LastIndexOf("/")+1 )
me: I've already declared the string
me: but when rendered it come pack and says it's not
wife: because you have too many periods in there
me: it's so simple...
me: it just might work... [not really]
wife: bryan
wife: just think
wife: you're missing the obvious
me: der! too many periods. what was I thinking?
me: strFullPath = Why.the.f(0,ck.won't(you,"work")+you+(piece.of.sh).it!

I'm really starting to loathe .NET. Seriously. It has so much potential. I'm respecting the framework. I'm spending time learning its intricasies. I'm putting in the work, but when it's time to reward me, it fails for some unforseen reason.

It's like dating a really hot model that doesn't put out.
