Another weekend has gone by and at the mo that means painting for me, but after painting another room and becoming a broken man I gave in, watched a dvd and had a couple of beers. It was good to unwind, but it means I'm more in debt, although not so much as expected. I played some disc golf on friday evening for an hour or so, and had another 1.5 hours of practice yesterday which I think equates to about a round, so I'm going to count it ... I made the rules so I can class that as some exercise :-)

First Thousand Beers / Miles / Rounds
Why?
The weekend just gone I finally moved into my new house that Lau and I just bought! Woo! Currently its a bit of a mess with all my stuff filling the living room but that is due to us still painting and getting the upstairs habitable. Once that is done I can move up stairs and put the bed together etc. can't wait!
Anyway, I thought as its a new beginning I thought I would do a new thing which will involve something I enjoy doing and trying to keep fit. The issue is however that I enjoy having a beer, but my belly doesn't get rid of itself, so we have come to a bit of a problem (or a solution starting point as some might say).
What?
Well I am going to ride on my bike and / or run a mile and / or play a round of disc golf for every beer which I consume in my house (practice rounds and tourament rounds count; at quarry park a full round is 1.5 - 2 miles of walking, but will only count to 1 beer). When I say consume a beer in the house I mean a bottle or can of any beer/lager (and when I say beer I mean lager) and will document them on this blog. It doesn't matter how big the bottle is or the percentage volume as that will make the calculation not very easy or fun and thats what it is supposed to be!
First
Well Sunday night after painting for what seemed like forever (but was actually about 6 hours) I had a couple of beers (as I thought I'd deserved them doing all the painting and during dinner). That means I am currently in debt to my beer/exercise ratio and I need to remedy that soon!!

Team Foundation Server 2005 - adding files when offline
I've recently been given a laptop at work to be able to work on the commute between my home (Leamington Spa) and work (Reading) and here comes the issue, TFS doesn't like it much when working disconnected.
I've done some research online and found that some of the issues which TFS has in 2005 version are addressed in 2008, but as we won't be uprading for a while I need to live with 2005.
This morning on the way to work I needed to add a new workflow activity to my project so I could carry on with work, obviously right click > add new item > activity, TFS client moans about not being able to connect to the server (no really?!) and VS adds the file with no source control bindings. The file is added and I can edit it, compile etc and work away fine on it. However the issue comes to making sure it gets added to source control for when I check it in it doesn't break the automated build. Due to this issue I decided that if I added / edited a file when offline I'd make a note of which and to add it / check it out when I got into the office.
I got in this morning and connected the wireless, went to source control viewer to add it in and couldn't find the folder where it exists (even though its in an existing folder) ... hmmm strange. So, found the file in solution explorer, right click > ... no "Add to Source Control" which is a bit rubbish. However there is a really simple solution ...
If you right click on the file in question and exclude it from the project, save the project file, click on the "Show all files" button at the top of solution explorer and find the file in the greyed out version, right click and add to project ... it gets added to source control :-)

Ever wondered what could be build out of Meccano?
Well wonder no more as to what size you can make stuff and start thinking about what you can make on the grand scale from Meccano!
A new skyscraper has been built in NY, but even though its only 65ft tall its still a break through from artist Chris Burden.
The image above is from the Daily Mail (click) of the artist looking through some of the Meccano pieces.
Some footage can also be seen on the BBC iPlayer ... well worth a look!
