If at first you don’t succeed

..try, try again?  Nah!  Try once.  However, after a few tries, walk away.  Go to the park.  Spend time with your kid(s).  Ironically, when yo get back, it just might work!

I slammed my head against the wall trying to figure out what, exactly, needed to implement IConvertable.  I was executing a SubSonic query that was pretty straight forward.  It used a guid as the key.  Nothing special.  But it wouldn’t work.  Debugging was killing me because my sitemap is a little slow to gen now.  So I spent a few hours trying to multi-thread my sitemap gen only to realize that I use it in global.asax so I need it completely ready on start-up.  Crap!  I dumped that plan and then copies the db locally.  After the 2 gig zip, ftp and restore, I was back to debugging the error.  I finally went for a bike ride. 

I returned to fire up vs.net and continue where I left off and its fixed.  That’s a pisser…

The alternative title for this post is: how many ADD kids does it take to debug an interface exception?  I don’t know, wanna ride bikes?
