Yes. Just got notified, that tomorrow I'm on the move (out of office) - so I thought to remove it...

And I want ideas for things to put in it.
(I am building the library with C#)
So far I have:
* An abstract implementation of IExtenderProvider
* Extensions for ISynchronizeInvoke
* A Work-In-Progress Multiple-Backend settings system
* Missing Enumerable.[Min/Max] overloads that take a custom IComparer<T> or a Comparison<T> and a few other extensions
* A class to modify the DLL Search Path
* Generic overloads to Marshal.Copy
* A class to wrap a native library and get exported methods and variables from it
* A class representing an exported variable which can read/write various types.
* Some basic extensions to the String type, as well as extensions to cast a string to a particular type (e.g. int)
There is also an internal RecursionGuard class, that throws an exception if recursion happens (it's not very complex, just a list with ID strings and two methods, one to enter a no-recursion section, and one to exit said area). I will make that public and document it if there is interest in it.
And yes, this library will have full XML documentation comments for all public and protected types, methods, properties, etc.

I like slightly toasted rye bread with goat creme cheese with chopped basil leaves and some fresh tomatoes...
An addition of tuberose tea with a bit of honey will be also welcomed...

I don't have a jetpack ready, but you could take four of those[^] to have enough thrust to lift you off the ground. I will leave the little details of stabilization and control to you. 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It's a bit too close.
If you figure a 12st male, that's 170lb including clothing, plus 22lb for the motors, plus some extra for the tankage, structure, control systems. So figure 200+lb total dry mass to lift.
The biggest engine there (that I saw) provides 52 lb of thrust, so four could lift me up - but I'd only have fuel for less than one minute, and very little margin for vectoring the thrust into directional control or stabilisation.
With 5, the numbers improve, but the weight and fuel consumption increase, so you'd probably need around 8 motors to carry sufficient fuel for a short flight where you wanted to go, particularly since you probably don't want to run at full thrust all the time! And the weight of the whole package starts to rise alarmingly as the flight duration goes up and the thrust safety margin increases.
I'd have to crunch some numbers properly, but my first impression is that it's going to be too big ans unwieldy to make a "proper" jet pack from!

The Jetcats are made for model airplanes, so they might not be optimal for building jetpacks. A look at other manufacturers might solve a few problems. On the good side: You can take ordinary Diesel or Kerosene as fuel.
And how about this one[^]?

It prolly needs a module for:
large scale software development outsourcing management.

I've got one of those (article probably in January actually, since I decided to document a lot of it) with things like this:
static assertion helpers
view driven ORM-less SQL generator and database interfaces
extension methods (string, IEnumerable, etc., a bunch of stuff)
module management (runtime dll loader)
semantic type wrapper
async semantic processor
service management
state management
thread queue / pool (Task and ThreadPool sorta suck)
runtime type converter
a really nice password hasher
concurrent list
some serialization helpers
workflow management (passing an object from thread to thread for async workflows)
and then separately, a bunch of modules and services (hence the above) for web stuff:
socket server
file response service
HTTP/JSON/etc response services
router service
web server service
session service
authentication service
I use most of this stuff daily and especially when writing websites (because I don't use ASP.NET, Razor, IIS, or other kinda sucky stuff, hahaha)

I saw I had a CP Notification, read your reply, and I'm all:
 *What* is he talking about? 
Then I read my OP. "Ah, he's not talking, he's typing..."

Really. Consider where one uses javaScript.
Does it makes sense to use a single malt to make a whiskey sour?
So really, there's no problem once you put it all in context.*

I don't care what they say about you: you seemed to have at least figured this one out!

No, Nagger - not quite.
It all stems from having sampled both the aroma and taste of gin.
Honestly, I was just being charitable. See where it gets me.
It's not like I (openly) stated that gin is the official sponsor of VB6 or anything like that.

Ehhhh. The more perfume Nagy drinks, the less the rest of us have to smell. 
Do you think we could replace his current tanker truck relay with a dedicated pipeline?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
