I was busy implementing a system for a client using C++ on Win32 when I had to use the sprintf function. As I knew it was insecure I looked up the function's details - only to be caught in an infinite web of evasion.
Whilst working on my Windows XP SP2 machine, this kept on popping up.
(Update: For those who did not get it, \$BitMap is a MFT system file - for Windows to suggest I have to save it elsewhere is just downright hilarious - that would cause even more problems! They should have presented a different popup message for system files.)
Whilst implementing a .NET application for one of my clients, I recently ran into a problem where a long running task would just suddenly stop working after about 30 minutes. No error, no exception - nothing. I had been troubleshooting this for 3 days now, and that is a very long time for someone with my experience (if I may say so myself). The difficulty with this problem is that there are no - and I mean absolutely NO errors. The only thing I could gather is that the long running task stops because the IIS worker process dies.
For the first time since I got my Ribbon Eel about 2 months ago, he ate a big piece of prawn... It took a couple of minutes of persuasion, but I knew he was hungry in the way he poked the lance fish I tried to feed him with initially.
Ribbon eel ate for first time since I got him. He did not take at anything other than LM prawn. Only a small piece worked - bigger pieces were rejected. He ate about 3 pieces in total.
My Sexy Shrimp decided eating Christmas worms is far nicer than leftover pieces os mysis. I found the little bugger eating on the foot of the Christmas worm, and something underneath that foot kept coming out - almost like a little claw - and tried to chase the Sexy Shrimp away. Fortunately when the Sexy Shrimp decided to jump on the Christmas worm, it retracted.
A while ago I acclimated a black molly to my QT saltwater tank for the ribbon eel to consume. The irony is that the ribbon eel never ate him so now I have one lost molly. See, the fish firmly believes he is a saltwater fish. Eats mysis/brine/seaweed, and is especially busy during the day eating micro algae from the glass panes and substrate.
My cleaner shrimp decided a couple of days ago they are hungry and started snacking away on my two clams. They already made a 10c hole in my Crocea, and is starting to work on my Maxima too. It started with a very small pinch that they started to work on and eventually caused the clams to retract their mantles almost completely.
It looks like you can do anything and the features are so attractive... Until you attempt to actually *do* something then she slaps you in the face and says she is not ready yet.
