PARAPROSDOKIANS


PARAPROSDOKIANS: Figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used in a humorous situation. "Where there's a will, I want to be in it," is a type of paraprosdokian.


       1. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.



       2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.



       3. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.



      4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.



      5. We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.



      6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.



      7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.



      8. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good Evening,' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.



      9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.



     10. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.



     11. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks.



     12. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'



     13. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.



     14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.



     15. Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.



     16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.



      17. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.



      18. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.



      19. There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.



      20. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.



      21. You're never too old to learn something stupid.



      22. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.



      23. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.



      24. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.



      25. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.



      26. Where there's a will, there's relatives.

Fixing a https Cert in Windows

 I renewed a https cert today in Windows and had problems with the new Cert sticking in Windows It would add fine, without error, but would disappear when the IIS Server Certificates screen would refresh.  Open the Certificates in MMC (Local Machine) and inspecting the Web Hosting gave a clue, the new certificate was there, but with a key - the private key was missing.  Could be because the original certificate was created on a completely different machine and imported to this new server.  At any rate, a simple certutil command fixed it .  A tip I received from  SSL disappears from the certificate list on Windows server - SSL Certificates - Namecheap.com Key steps are:  Double-click the certificate and go to  Details  tab. In certificate details locate the  Serial Number  field, click on it and copy its value. Open Command Prompt, pressing  Win+R  and typing  cmd , then click  OK In the command prompt type: ...

Ever need to reset a password in Bonobo Git Server ?

So, you've forgotten your password to bonobo git. Step 1: Get access to the sqlite file, probably called something like  Bonobo.Git.Server.db, sitting in the "wwwroot\Bonobo.Git.Server\App_Data" directory. Step 2: Using another tool, generate an md5 hash of your new desired password (as far as I know, sqlite does not have md5 capability) Step 3: Back in sqlite, using SQL, update the relevant user record, something like update User set Password = UPPER( 'thenewMD5hash') where Username = 'admin' ; Step 4: That's it, you are done, log in with your newly found password.
