I mean, it sounds like it's working exactly how it's supposed to. Rotten luck, though, all those things.

Yes! Azure is spectacular. Excellent tools, easy to use, and broad technology support. I love the continuous integration features.

You can do deploy from a variety of source control solutions, including git.

Ha! I guess this guy would be the Archangel?

Ummm... This picture is terrifying. I'm waiting for the statue to come to life and start claiming souls.

If I'm not mistaken, Simple actually keeps track of how you tip, and when the transaction is pending they estimate it including your average tip percentage. It's pretty cool.

Louie CK. The comedian says he throws out all of his material every year and starts fresh, much like George Carlin, which is an incredible task to me.
