Major Bike accident on the way home today

So back in January...yeah it must of been nice around here then...I wrote about two morons popping wheelies down the highway.

Well guess what happened today...had to have been a few minutes in front of me traffic stops and as we start merging to the right I see that two cars have the outside lanes blocked off with flashers and in front of them is two bikes down on the road.  As I get closer I see all the skid marks from what I could tell it looked like there were three bikes, one looked to come down from a wheelie sort of at an angle and whiped out and must of took out a second bike...either way two bikes looked to be totalled and leaking gas all over.

One guy was on the highway and a lady was holding the guys neck in place, no police or medical personal had arrived yet.  The guy seemed to be "ok" as he did have his legs bent so I am sure the lady was just being cautious as she should.

Here's a better look at the Sabres new logo

STILL hate it...no no no I LOATHE IT!!

Buffalo Sabres unveil new jersey's

Um wtf???

"I think fans like the jersey, but they really love the team," Sabres managing partner Larry Quinn said.

Ah...no, no we don't...they are hideous and don't have any of the former Sabres feel.  They remind me of the Atlanta Thrashers jersey's.

The new jersey's should of been last years red alternate jersey's.

Although the only cool thing you did was bring back the 1970's jersey as the new alternate jersey but ffs bring back the old jerseys and don't start the season with this debachery.

Since when has Reebok and Nike become experts on designing jersey's and logos.  This is the second team I have seen a sneaker company ruin a jersey/logo.

No Widescreen iPod Announced today

Man am I bummed...I thought for sure we would see a widescreen iPod today...especially with the announcement of movies (Disney) now being available in iTunes (widescreen format btw).

They even upgraded the resolution of TV shows to 640x480 up from 320x240...almost to DVD quality (720x480).

But they did improve on the iPod to make it easier to watch video by increasing the brightness that one can allow... a bigger choice 80 GB instead of 60GB ... a 24 hour battery...Games available for 5G iPods.

But still they foregone with the widescreen feature...I've been holding out and will continue to hold out.

I thought the Zune, Microsofts new portable entertainment system would be my new system...but it won't do video so it's not even a choice now.  But they have a widescreen! wtf?

Oh well...when the next major annoucement?  January? MacWorld?

New Dialog box in VS.NET 2003

When I load up a web project in VS.NET now that I have Subversion installed I get this dialog box that says:

Refreshing the project failed. Unable to retrieve folder information from the server.

Thankfully this isn't a real problem just a nuisance as after you click ok (the only choice given) the project loads just fine.

So what's going on?

Well a bug is happening.  VS.NET refuses to read/load directory names that start with a "." and guess what new directory in my web project now starts with a "."?  .svn

I do not have VS.NET SP1 installed yet...I'll install that tomorrow and let you know if it contains a fix for this particular issue.  But digging around the net Microsoft has known about this issue back in 2003 when people first started to complain about it.

Update (1/30/2007): I see alot of people finding this post via google having the same error above.  I found a better way around this.  So instead of starting a new post I'll just add it here.

You can set up Subversion to use _svn instrad of .svn here's how, if you set an environment path variable SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK to true and then restart your computer (you must restart to have tools like Tortoise and Ankh recognize the _svn folder).  You will need to recheck out your repository and then VS.NET 2003 will work as expected with no error messages.   The problem lies in VS.NET 2003 only 2005 will read .svn folders fine.  But the good thing is 2005 will also run _svn folders with no problems. 

So rule of thumb if your on windows and using Subversion with any version of VS.NET just add the path variable.  Also very important...make sure you commit everything before you do the variable cause you won't be able to after it's added, you'll have to undo the variable and commit and then add the variable back.
