Bad Brain Curio Shoppe

I'm back! But, I plan to complain a lot about my brain!

I talk about movies, TV and... the NSA... oooh, scary!

Been another year and I was supposed to record something... don't tell me, it will come to me eventually.

This is that one. I may be too old to eat fair food without tums; but, I'm not too old to complaint about it!

Dll Hell musical arrangement by Reddit user arilotter. http://www.reddit.com/user/arilotter

Lyrics:

My references are missing,

Though some seem to be doubled.

Spent lots of time compiling,

but my builds seem to be troubled.

Namespaces are hexing

When you've got some code to sell.

I'm damning IDEs right now.

I'm stuck in dll hell.

My screen is filled with red lines,

Exceptions stop my code.

I wish my education

Had taken me down a different road.

Microsoft is laughing,

I'm no longer feeling well.

My GAC is all poluted,

and I'm stuck in dll hell.

Cascading web.configs have

Made me lose my sense of time.

My brain is so damn tired,

I'm not sure that I can... uh... make the lines sound the same.

I'm disowning Visual Studio,

I long for my Linux Shell.

They'll never find Steve Ballmer

Once I'm out of dll hell.

Moving continues to suck. Podcasts continue to rule. I continue to ramble.

Adventures in moving and angry kitties. Intro and outro music by Latche Swing.

And one day, I decided to do a podcast. It has movies, news, some music and mahogany! Good times. Intro and outro music by Latche Swing.
