QUIZ - What's Wrong With This Code?
This is a simplified version of a sneaky bug I ran into today (I’m fine
thank you, but the bug is dead). The only prize I can offer is a GMail
account if you want one.
Now that GMail has POP3
I’ve resisted it, but I think I may change my primary email adress from Yahoo! to Gmail. You can probably guess what my Gmail email is…
Read MoreATI Radeon Control Center uses .NET
I’m currently updating my device
driver for my ATI Radeon 9700 at work (I now have a new 17” LCD monitor
that supports portrait mode) and noticed that to install the CATALYST
Control Center, .NET 1.1 is required. See for
yourself.
See-Toe
Recently my company (which was a division of Company X) was purchased by Company Y. Company Y is based outside of the country and we are a fully owned subsidiary and make up their U.S. presence.

Long Computer Use May Be Linked to Eye Disease (Reuters)
Sobering news for the “short-sighted” computer geeks among us.
Read MoreMLS Cup 2004
I watched DC United take on Kansas City today
for the MLS Cup 2004. The great thing about soccer in the U.S. is that I
can get tickets for the national championshipship the day before for a
decent price. Unfortunately that’s also the problem with U.S. soccer.
The quality of play is nowhere near a Premiership game or Bundesliga.
How 'Dungeons' changed the world
I’ll come out of the closet and admit that I
used to play this game with an almost fanatic interest. My first
exposure to the game was in Spain when several other military brats in
my apartment complex introduced me to a twenty sided die (1d20). By the
time I moved to Guam, I was hooked. I started a group there with an
unlikely band of friends: a Hawaiian volleyball player, half-thai
skateboarder dude, heavy metal rocker, etc… and we were destroyers of
worlds.
More on Terminating Threads and the depravity of Thread.Abort
In response to Ian’s post on thread.abort, Richard Blewett points out a situation when the thread you are attempting to cancel can’t check the volatile book flag to determine whether it should cancel itself or not.

Ian

(one of my favorite tech bloggers) wrote this fine
piece
on why Thread.Abort
is a representation of all that is evil and
threatens the American (and British) way of life.
Synchronization Software?
So now that I have a second Windows box (and third computer in the house), I’m soliciting recommendations for good synchronization software. Ideally I’d like something where I could configure which directories and files get synchronized and it happens seamlessly any time the Tablet connects to the home network.
Read MoreRSS Bandit Code Documentation (CHM)
Using NDoc I’ve generated an update version of the CHM code documentation for RSS Bandit. As you’ll see (if you take a look) this documentation is by no means complete. Many of the public methods need better documentation. Also, there are no Namespace summaries yet. I plan to spend some time adding these summaries and some higher level API documentation.

Wohoo! And it is a thing of

Olympic Ceremonies Music
When the
Olympics occurred, one of my favorite DJs spun for the opening
ceremonies. Unfortunately I missed it, but I had heard good buzz about
his performance. Now he’s come out with a CD called “Parade of the
Athletes”.
I have a feeling that if you liked the music he played for the Olympics,
you’ll like this cd.
