Here he is with Willie Nelson

I first read the text in the title as "Terrible guitar break" - until I heard the song and realized that that couldn't possibly be right! Glen is really good on the guitar! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

RIP Glen!

I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking. Just barge in will'Ya?

I've heard rhinestone cowboy about a gazillion f*ckin times this morning. I didn't like the song when it was new, and I don't like even more today.

So... turn the radio off of put in ear buds.

It's all over the damn television too. You can't get away from it.

Yeah, that's what happened to Elvis and me when he died. I didn't mind him when he was alive, but I really got to detest him the first month after he left us. Radio stations from every music genre played non-stop Elvis for about a week. I was travelling then and it was Elvis or nothing (that was back in the AM/FM radio days).

I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

The funniest one-liners from the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe[^]

I particularly like: "A lot of people say I'm egocentric; but enough about them." Brilliant.

These made me laugh:

Quote:
It’s so weird that Americans say “eggplant” when they’re called chickens.

I went to a French restaurant the other day. Awful. Not only did they have Fish Poison; on the menu, they couldn’t even spell poison right.

Government can give you nothing but what it takes from somebody else. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Sometimes it seems I feel like I'm talking with someone who seems to understand the words I'm saying in that they recognize the spoken sounds or written words, but ascribe different meanings to the words spoken or written. It's really frustrating when you think there is agreement when it's the exact opposite.

argh...

Sooo, what I'm hearing is, "I speak imprecisely and expect others to just know what I mean".

Yes sometimes that occurs. But more often than not, a person's life experience allows them to hear the words you are saying but understand them from entirely different context or even agenda. Hence it can seem like you are communicating, when in reality you are not. Other times, you end up violently agreeing.

That's what I understood too. Big Grin | :-D

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

In your case, you hear what you want to hear. Poke tongue | ;-P

That is so funny. I had no idea who you were referring to but it fits Ryan so well that I had to say it, just for a joke! Smile | :)

When you know that no one understands you just as much you never understand anyone else, you will know you do not understand that, either.

In that state, there is a very small chance wisdom may begin.

«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

I've been looking for an implementation of Kademlia in C# (not, it's not a disease) and found this, which actually looks pretty good. It seems they have implemented all the concepts.

The only problem is that their implementation is entangled with RavenDB, and the fact that they are using a DHT for an audio player, UDP transport layer (that's fine, but not for testing, where you want to completely spoof the transport layer), and other annoyances (like, who the heck uses log4net anymore???) and WCF bindings Dead | X|

Why? Why can't people write a nice coherent, independent, library with proper inversion of control, interfaces, etc., that completely decouples the DHT from the specific application. Mad | :mad:

Now I have to go through the code and extract all this shyte, which I think is still more efficient that rewriting/debugging everything from scratch.

What's particularly disappointing is that code seems well written and documented, I would have expected better from the people that wrote this, given the quality of their stuff. The dichotomy makes me think they borrowed some stuff from somewhere else. Or, given that it's written by two people, maybe their architectural skills were orthogonal. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Example:

Log4Net is used almost everywhere. But then...

Console.WriteLine("Storing resource from peer " + peer);
