Since the release will come out in 2 weeks, it doesn’t seem to be enough time for ms to make the patch. oh man… bad q2 earning, merging search with yahoo, now a compromised new os. What’s going on?

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word

If you keep getting the following error message in vb.net, you are not alone: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Usually, what happens is your code works perfectly fine in your dev box, but your clients report getting the error above.

310-862-9027

Oh my gosh… I have been getting calls from this # for like a week straight! I never picked it up coz it was an unknown caller. No message left ever. Before finding ways to block this I googled this # and to my surprise hack of links returned back. Here are some of them: http://phoneowner.info/Number.aspx/3108629027 http://www.namethatnumber.net/phone-call-from/caller-id/310-862-9027 and a lot more links… It turns out to be the toyota customer service trying to rate my experience with them. Yes, I had an oil change with them about a week ago. So, it’s legit, but isn’t that a bit annoying? Perhaps it’s commission based. If they email me instead of calling I will be more than happy to fill out the survey. ...
