I’ve been having issues upgrading VS2008 ASP.Net MVC1 projects to VS2010 ASP.Net MVC2. In short, it doesn’t work so great. OK. It’s really lame. There are two problems to address. The VS2010 solution file uses a different format plus we’re upgrading library references in the background. There’s more to it than that but you get the idea.
I had been creating a new project and sliding things over, but that sucks. So… I get lazy and work on my older projects in VS2008 and the newer ones in VS2010. Like I said, lame.
Basically, I ignore the issue.

Looking back at a couple of my syntax highlighting attempts I realized the best solution needed a little attention.
So… I dove back into the PHP code looking for the problem. I found 2 bad path references buried in some JavaScript code. Fixing those issues, fixed the syntax highlighting across the board.
Yeah!
Now I can keep up with the cool kids.
Or not!
I saw this tonight as I was plowing through my email… Which Language?
Why was I “plowing through” my email? I’ve been in Maui for the last week. I know, rough life. Work hard. Play hard. Then take vacations to recharge. Or something like that.
I never knew I could surf. The woman and I signed up for stand-up paddle surfing lessons at Maui Wave Riders (Lahaina). After doing that for over an hour of SUP, our guide, Sonny B., took us to a spot with better waves to try our hands at regular surfing. I asked a couple questions. “So I put one foot here and the other there?” (Like on a skateboard.) “Yup. Get on your board.” Then he yelled “Paddle!” It took me a couple seconds to realize that I was moving fast enough to get up. I was up, then wondering what came next. I had enough time to look around and shrug at my wife before I dropped back into the water. I rode my second wave all the way to the shore. Hmm… I kind of liked that. It fits in with all of the other gravity sports I like or used to like as a kid. Kinda like skateboarding but not. I may have to do that again and again and again… Ya know. Just to make sure I’m doing it right.
I start a new project on Tuesday. I’ll be converting a bunch of mainframe/COBOL reports into ASP.Net/C# 3.5 reports. The project sounds interesting. I get to do some architecture work and help a company built up the organizational knowledge of the .Net framework. There’s alot of head-down coding work to be done in addition to the other more esoteric stuff. I’m really craving some head-down coding.
Hopefully, my sunburn will have faded a bit and the jetlag will have passed as well. I hate flying. I always feel like dookey when I arrive at my destination. It doesn’t matter if it is a quick hop to Vegas or a long haul to Europe. I always feel crappy when I get there. Some kind of spiritual dislocation or something. I have to sleep before my soul catches up to me… Or something like that.
On that note, I’m going to bed.

It looks like I’ll be going back into the field when I return from vacation. Honestly, I’ve run out of tasks to keep me busy at the office and I don’t like make-work tasks. I don’t mind handing them out to other people , but I hate coming up with things for myself. I don’t create from scratch. I solve problems. Present me with a problem and I’ll find a solution. That isn’t the same things as someone who can come up with problems we didn’t realize we had and find new solutions. I’m not the pie-in-the-sky idea man. I’m more of the grimy fix-it dude.
Anyway, I like books. I love books. This can be a problem. 1) I almost always have one, possibly two, maybe even three reference books in my laptop bag. Carrying around these books gets very heavy. Hard on my body when they are strapped to my back. Hard on my gear. 2) The woman poo-poos my reference book collection. I have a large rolling cart jamb-packed full of books in the office closet. I removed the bar for clothes and rolled in my cart. 3) Airlines charge by the pound. If I don’t take 3 or 4 big books with me, our travel gear would be considerably lighter. 4) Ad-nausuem.
