Haha touché. Ironically I am starting with C++ development – and the build time is killing me already (the art of compiling a single file :) ).

And I am trying to quit – stop motivating me to carry on smoking!

Shout back if you get an email notification – I am not sure if I have set that up correctly yet.

“Long builds == fewer builds == more time thinking == better code.” – Perhaps you should start using C++ then:-)

Or better yet, take up smoking and think while you are smoking (I find sitting watching a compiler, or doing anything on the computer is not the best way to think in depth about the problem I am trying to solve).

There is nothing which says you have to be sitting in front of a computer to be working…:-)

Yeah unfortunately I guess that constitutes as reading the manual. Unfortunately our support system is confidential (closed-source; big corporates) so we can’t just pull everything together; maybe our KB articles.

On a side-note I was considering trying to get an exception search engine going; that would use stack traces to find related information; now that would be slick.

You know, nobody’s going to read that little text so you can probably write what you want in it :-) More seriously, the Stack Overflow model seems optimal to me – show matching FAQ articles in real time while the user types into the problem report field. The trick is to make finding the information easier than asking for it!

Your solution worked perfect for me. Thank’s so much for your post.

I had spent a significant amount of time on this issue and am glad to not have to revert back to using a non ssl connection.

Easy does it. I just installed win7 rtm and was already not looking forward to doing it again the manual patch way. This was way faster. Thanks ;-)
