Definition: Speak or act in an evasive way

Getting this: “Couldn’t register com.abc.MyApp with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code.” when trying to run a unit test in AppCode.

The underlying Xcode version is 4.3.1

The only way to resolve it is restarting the computer.

I cannot even get magsafe to work. The magsafe is connected to the connector, but the battery icon is showing: “Not charging”. Something is a very wrong at the kenrel level.

Definition: Not in harmony or keeping with the surroundings or other aspects of something; not in place.

Example: The prime minister left the next morning, …, driving through the incongruous London summer shopping crowds.

My goal is to read a formula from a cell in a Excel Workbook, perform some transformation on it and then update the cell’s formula with the new one.

So I had my first surprise when I realised subversion marks the .ps1 as binary. It is because the script file is saved as unicode by Powershell ISE by default. It just introduces unnecessary hurdle to the version control process.

Some COM calls to the excel workbook object just failed when it works fine in vbs or python with win32com.

The lack of string manipulation functions is not helping either, especially the completion comes from scripting languages like python.

Powershell is probably a good tool to interface with .Net framework and to handle Windows admin task. But for me it is not a language of first choice.

Definition: The state or quality of being lighthearted or cheerful: “the gaiety of children’s laughter”.

Example: Spears was impressed by the prime minister’s imposture of gaiety. Churchill poked the British officer playfully in the stomach with his stick.
