were you wondering?
Yes, I got it together yesterday and sewed my solution together, using the sacrifice-all-everything-must-go method. It only took one day, after all that.
A folder running a webservice in IIS contains files, visible by c:/inetpub/wwwroot/myservice. You can turn show hidden files on to see the underlined folders such as _whatever. Given that selecting the CONTENTS of one of these folders, and copying it to the inside of a suitably live destination folder such as http://egriggthatsme/myservice, does NOT work (can't add as reference, file not found, etc.), but on the other hand selecting the FOLDER itself such as myservice and pasting it to http://egriggthatsme in fact DOES work, I can only assume that show hidden files still leaves some files hidden. Anyone else have experience with this? Not that I'm going back to touch the feature again.
Today (yes, we still have sucky Tuesdays) I realized I forgot to order tomatoes from the Albertsons delivery service last night. We use delivery because the 10 bucks saves me an hour, and I'm worth it. Plus my car has bees in it. Anyway, no tomatoes, so I picked some up from the pricey market next to the coffee shop in my new (old) neighborhood. These were "heirloom" tomatoes, which is not a term regulated by the FDA, but I take to mean "the look and taste of homegrown, if the gardener was batty and geologically old, and the tomato plants themselves bearing pedigrees and perhaps lower down on the tomato species modernization splicing tree." They were great, I had a salad with pre-packaged herb mix, goat cheese, a yellow and a red heirloom, olive oil, and rice vinegar dressing with fresh ground "tricolor" peppercorns. On the side was fresh potato bread with butter. Of course now I'm finishing off my stockpile for the weekend of coding, so I have a starbucks doubleshot beside me and a tub of gummy bears. Funny, I knew that (unlike many coding problems) gummy bears wouldn't solve this one, so I left them in the fridge.
There you are. Microsoft. Food.
