Today is officially the day I will kill off the Linux VM on my right-hand display and dedicate it to Visual Studio and/or Android Studio. The VM will instead run on my MacBook.
Even though I am now comfortably using a full Microsoft development and productivity stack, part of me feels like I have committed an act of betrayal. I'm happy but I would have loved for the other thing to work out.

I have a early 1950's wall phone I keep threatening to shove the guts of a cellphone into. I'd much rather have that Star Trek communicator on my person. And a tricorder. Definitely a tricorder. I could go onsite, aim it at some secretary's terminal and say, "The scan detects you did something stupid." If she says anything about it…out comes the phaser.

@c Running a company totally kills anything approaching productivity. That's the only reason I have to go in. (That and we have a warehouse and deal with physical, non-code-related stuff) If I stay here, my phone would ring constantly and Google Hangouts would catch flame.

I'm generally against myself, personally, telecommuting for various logistical reasons.
It's getting much harder to support that stance. I've gotten more done in five hours at home than I did the entirety of last week at the office and that is taking into account goofing off with this bit of wonderfulness that @matigo has come up with.
Visual Studio has come a long way since the Visual Studio 6 I knew and loathed.
@phoneboy And he made it to 100 years. Amazing. Started in vaudeville and worked clear up to the early 90s.

@matigo I just noticed that! I was installing it on this machine I normally game with and saw getmac.exe pop up for a couple of seconds. Was thinking, "Does it want to know the hardware address or has Apple infiltrated Microsoft?"
