IIS7 Can Suck It

I will admit that IIS7 is very dreamy in comparison to IIS5 and IIS6 because it flows nicely and it has a very nice inheritance system. Best feature of all of course is its application pools. However there are a few things that I am going to point out that some people are going to be annoyed by, but I don't care because for you to have opposition to what I am going to describe is plain stupid and biased.

I like Microsoft products, but we all know, especially power users, that sometimes Microsoft will do things that are just terribly stupid. Joining that ever growing list is:

IIS7

IIS5 and IIS6 were the easiest to setup, I never had any serious problems setting them up or using them. Very easy to use, only encountered the dot net issue where the dot net installation had to be reinstalled. No biggy works like a dream after repairing the dot net side.

First trial:

Installation on Windows Vista. Vista is a flaming piece of crap. That being said IIS7 is a windows feature. Naturally I should be able to install it on a Vista machine if the damn option is available. Logical right? Wrong... it just doesn't work. I got machine.config errors no matter what. I spent 6 hours trying everything to appease the IIS7 beast. No luck so I went back to IIS5.

Second Trial:

I set it up for other people on windows 7 machines, with no problem for the most part. I even use it on windows server 2008. No problems, so I figured it just doesn't work on Vista. Wrong...

Third trial:

I took a fresh install of windows 7 professional on a brand new laptop. I tried using IIS7 and the first thing I get is an error right off the bat. I am told by IIS that I have things in my web.config that are unrecognizable. This didn't sound right because it worked in IIS5 and IIS6, but not in IIS7? So I started looking around and realized it was missing components so I went to add and remove features for IIS and no matter what I did the other features would not install. I kept getting errors. So I uninstalled IIS7 and reinstalled it, this time it installed well, but much to my dismay it still didn't work when I tried to run my web application... this is mind boggling. So I then started doing some deep googling and finally finally finally I found out why I was getting errors (500.21 error specifically) and it was because there was a missing DLL! The isapi.dll was missing from the modules section! HOW? WHY? I don't know but it took 6 hours to figure out and I am very very unhappy about it. This is by far the stupidest thing I have ever seen. What I explained was the short version mind you.

So to those of you that are kissing the IIS7 ass, I'm sorry to break it to you, but it isn't flawless. In fact is very far from it, down right disgusting actually to take 6 hours to figure out why this stupid software isn't working!

Mind you, if someone has Vista, that is what they have therefore don't tell them to just change their OS, that is not fair to that person. Software costs money unless you are going to pirate it which I don't recommend at all. My stance on pirated software is, "If you can afford it, buy it." Other people will say that it works on the Server OS versions (2003, 2008, 2008 R2), this is not true at all if you check google. There are plenty of people regardless of the goddamn OS that are having many issues with IIS7. This is goddamn ridiculous and unfair to the people who need to work. This isn't a fucking hobby for me (partially it is) I do this as my job.

Some people say, just use the integrated development server in Visual Studio... How about no? Casini (the web development server) is crap and unreliable. You use that as a last resort or when you don't have IIS available to use. Casini has a bunch of issues all on its own, it is inaccurate and has problems keeping the most current versions of files you just compiled current. I avoid Casini when I can. Plus you want your software to run in a production like environment at all times to avoid "surprises" when you get to your production environment.

The point here is, IIS7 has some fucking stupid issues, it isn't plug and play at all like IIS5 and IIS6 were. People need to wise up and stop being fan boys when it comes to shit like this and Microsoft needs to take the heat that people give them for this. There is shitty documentation on these ridiculous issues from Microsoft.

When IIS7 is fixed it is going to be great, just like IIS5 and IIS6.

My advice for people who are having issues setting IIS7 up, google the shit out of your problem. Every time you make an adjustment the error message may change, be aware of this. Make sure you have proper permissions set on your files. If all else fails, setup another computer to run XP with IIS5 or IIS6.

Projects

I have: 6 projects going on now at about the same time. They are all collated in the sense that I can't work on any one project all the time because of either boredom, lack of motivation or timing. So this is working out well for me. Most of the time I am not working on any of these things but I am thinking about all of them pretty much all of the time.
I am excited about all of them, but I am also sad because I don't have enough time for all of them.

One of my biggest projects that isn't a part of the other 6 is paying down my loans. I was joking with a friend the other day about the concept of Jew gold. So I came up with the concept of Jew debt. I have a lot of that and I like seeing it decrease.
I plan on paying off my loans in 1000 dollar chunks.

Stereotypical Crackers

So these mother fuckers have been trying to hack my SQL Server, just thought I'd put it out there.

First off I think it is funny that they all seem to be using pretty much the same hacked copy of windows.

Second thing is you can try to RDP into all of their servers except one, if you know the password have fun.

221.10.27.78 - Chengdu in China - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
221.215.38.171 - Qingdao in China - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

61.147.112.247 - Beijing in China - Does not allow incoming connections

I closed my SQL Server port, it is no longer available... I am still quite annoyed though.

If this doesn't spell out a damn stereotype I don't know what does.

My Paradox

I have a problem that I have been struggling with since I was a child. I realized at a very young age that I could not see my own face unless I looked in a mirror. This was very troubling to me because then I realized that when I spoke to myself "In my head" or thought to myself rather, it was the voice of an adult. Which I soon came to realize was going to be my adult speaking voice. I figured all this out watching "The Wonder Years" with Fred Savage who also thought in a very adult voice.

These problems snow balled into one bigger problem and that is, when I close my eyes and go to sleep does the world stop moving and does everything cease to exist momentarily. Then taking this same concern a step closer, I started to fear death, not because I am afraid of dying but because I don't know what is going to happen to me. This endless thought cycle depresses me because it then leads me to the feeling I struggle with the most and that is demotivating. Everything I do now is to make me happy and comfortable now, but what is the point? So far that is the point, just be as happy and stress free as possible.

However the haunting question remains... what happens when I die? Does the world cease to exist? Do I come back? Do I turn into a wandering soul?

None of those questions can be or will be answered. Ironically I will find out when I die.

Religion gives you false promises and hopes, all unproven crap.

I say come up with your own answer.

My answer is, I don't know how or when, but I will be back. Death cannot stop me.

Rampage

There is this excellent film I saw called "Rampage" where a single individual white male goes on a sociopath killing spree. I do not entirely agree with his methods of achieving his goal, but the main idea of the movie is totally correct. He went on the Rampage because he wanted to thin out the number of people that existed period so they would stop using up resources. However he went after people that he had a grudge against too.

I was very intrigued by the movie because of the main idea aside from the violence. I agree with the main idea, there are too many people alive, we need to stop over populating the earth. How is it that we have animal control but no human population control?

This is not natural. I do not suggest we engage in killing tons of people (maybe people who watch the 700 club and low functioning retards, which are kind of the same thing). However I do think the number of kids people have should be reduced to 2 or less. People who know they will have kids with horrible disorders are not allowed to give birth. If they do they will have their baby killed and they will be neutered.

I want to stop supporting people with more than 3 kids. The third one is normally a mistake. Two kids is too much and someone with 17 kids is fucking disgusting.

Stop supporting areas that cannot sustain life. Do not populate areas that require imported water. Stop building housing. Kill off the jailed inmates that are truly un-savable or have been linked to premeditated murder.

Just Want To Talk

So I get an IM from my boss, "(B)Hi. Want to meet me for breakfast? I just want to talk. (Me) sure, what is it regarding? (B)Oh it is nothing bad, just want to talk."

So if your boss who you are not the biggest fan of tells you he just wants to talk, what would you think?

I am thinking this could be very closely related to the email I sent that asshat that was being a business douche. So I am also thinking maybe some of the things I had said about him openly are reaching his ear. This is not good. Then there could be a business opportunity that I could nab too.

So I am not sure, but this very close to how I got laid off.

Business Douches

I don't like dealing with people who want to willingly be unhelpful or make you look bad in front of other people. These kinds of people really think they are better than everyone else. They don't forge a very good business work ethic between companies. These kinds of people, good or not at heart, strike me as real jerks when I need to deal with them. They are the unneeded stress of work.
