Sending Outlook Meeting invitations from C#

July 15th, 2010 Gordon No comments

In case anyone needs to send Outlook meeting invitations from C# (or VB.NET, etc.), I have found the following resources useful:

It turned out that adapting none of the code in these links worked correctly (the goal is to have Outlook add the “Attend”, etc. buttons) the only way that worked for me was to send a request, and then cut-n-paste the resulting ICAL file, filling the relevant fields with my data.

It seems Outlook is incredibly finicky in what it accepts, and incredibly liberal in what it generates.

La Fundamenta Krestomatio

July 5th, 2010 Gordon No comments

Memori vortojn kaj gramatikajn leĝojn estas la plej malgranda parto da lingva lernado.

Estas ĉiam multaj manieroj esprimi tiun, kiun oni volas diri. Sed kutime estas plej populara vojo paroli, kies uzo distingas inter flua kaj malflua uzantaj.

Do kial neniam ajn rekomendiĝis la Fundamenta Krestomatio al mi? Estas granda ekzemplaro de stilo kaj kutimoj de Esperanta uzado.

Ĝies stilo estas kompreneble klasika, sed ĝi estas solida bazo sur kio kreskigi onies esperantan sperton.

A research team at Yale has successfully grown rat lungs in a vat, and implanted them in rats which then used them to breathe.

A beluga calf at the Vancouver aquarium died last night because its airway was blocked with rocks and pennies!?!?!?!?!!

What kind of fucking morons stand there and throw debris and spare change into a baby whale’s airway? Or let their kids do same? Ooh, let’s make a wish!

How would you like a few loonies shoved down your own throats, you retards?

I sincerely hope there’s some good security camera footage that will put them away for good and all.
