re: Silly batch file tricks, redirecting stdout into an evironment variable and %~dp0

I may be a tad old fashioned, but I still think batch files have a place. They are lean, reasonably fast, and run without a bunch of extra infrastructure that may be missing or disabled for security reasons. For instance, WSH may be disabled, and neither Perl nor PowerShell is part of a default installation of Windows.

Paraphrasing a comment that I heard, in a TechEd session long ago, about Notepad, CMD.EXE is everywhere.

Apart from the one spam message that crept into it, this blog is fabulous. I found it in the course of a Google search, pinned it into my Favorites, and have referred to it several times in the last week or so.

re: Tip for using Fiddler on localhost

Actually routing is working fine. I think the problem was I had authenticated automatically as the app started up under the "localhost" domain and that didn't carry over to the 127.0.0.1. domain. If I authenticate at 127.0.0.1. all is well and fiddler works.

Ugh. Not working for me. Is anyone using ASP.NET MVC? I think changing the root is screwing up my routing...

I'm surprised about all the hacks i saw in the comments to avoid the temp.txt file (such as using the for command). Why not just pipe directly from one into the other, i.e.

sometool.exe | set /p TOOLOUTPUT=

and thats it.

Aloe Vera Distributor - myflp.org — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:10:44 GMT

Hello there.

I have something to say, about AloeVera, something about which you wrote above, about health and minerals... For a long time, I and my nice friend use the products of the flp. We every time see the good results and also we make money for our families and we are happy. My friend works with Aloe Vera in the company of forever living products has more than 5 years (My friend works ONLY in the flp company and has a wife and three children). I know aloe Vera products for weight loss for a long time, but a year ago, began working as a distributor in the Forever Living Company.

Of course, this job is some difficult, but in no other case, You can earn so much money with so much much fun and good smiling faces around..

So if you want to discuss something about which you wrote above, and about my experience with Aloe vera products for weight loss, I'll always be glad to talk.

Best regards from Washington state and have a nice day!

Andrew - Aloe Vera Distributor
