I have the weird feeling that there is something missing....

I remember twitter having used it, maybe that is why I thought it odd it appeared in the Linux.

Good story behind it though. Ta.

Since I'm not a Linux User I had to search the net also and stumbled across this.

http://linux-commands-examples.com/gnome-session[^]

from the several other pages that i have seen I would think that could be like a first chance exception that was handled by the system.

Or that no error message was able to pop up.

Cheers, this post was about the origins of the whale, not about the problem Smile | :)

But thanks anyway, i'll take a look.

ok, most of the post had to do with twitters Fail Whale.
I don't Twitter either.

But as far as linux is concerned more reading makes it appear to be more like a windws bluescreen,only it may give options to recover.

to figure out what caused the error you may need to read the lines reading up to that message.

sort of like this one.

I had found that other link that Pablo Aliskevicius found but didn't think that was what you were looking for.

Cheers have a good day. Smile | :)

Browsing NuGet has its advantages...

I only know of the "fail wail":

Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb follow the ear-piercing sound and arrive at Baljeet's house. There, they find out that Baljeet signed up for a class called "Summer Rocks" which he thought it was a Geology class but it turned out to be a rock and roll camp and is scared he'll fail the class. Phineas notes that he was making an interesting sound with his guitar, but finds out it was actually the "Fail Wail" coming from Baljeet himself. Phineas and Ferb then offer to teach him how to rock.

You find packages like CsQuery[^] (Github Repo[^]), which is a C# Port of jQuery, with CSS2/3 parsers, a DOM, several utility methods, and the validator.nu HTML5 parser.

What NuGet packages have you guys found that turned out to be useful for a task you were doing? And what are your favorite packages to use?

Never used them (but know what they are)

Heard of it, never used it.

~~Never heard of it before.~~ Just looked it up. Quite cool!

I like SharpCompress[^] for compression functionality.

Wow, a c# implementation of a 7zip decompressor! That is very impressive of SharpCompress. I had a quick look at it, but it couldn't find it - does it support compressing to zip with password encryption?

Brisingr Aerowing15-Dec-13 6:07

Here[^]

Note #2 under the formats table says pkware and WinzipAES are supported. As SharpCompress supports streams, one could wrap a [de]compression stream in a CryptoStream and encrypt that way.

Thanks Brisingr.

That is very cool, it looks like I might have a new compression library to use!

Yes, one could use a CryptoSteam, but one of reasons I use Zip is that almost every computer has basic tools to access them, and embedding a encrypted file in there stops that.

Mono.AddIns is one I use a lot, along with AvalonDock and Xceed.

Brisingr Aerowing14-Dec-13 13:17

14-Dec-13 13:17

I use the github repo for Mono.Addins, as the NuGet package hasn't been updated for ages.

I usually go to the project page/source repository to check versions/bug fixes/features/etc. before using a NuGet package.
