  • It's Fun to Watch Evolution

    It's just amazing how fast things move right now. Over the last two or three weeks: I (and others, I imagine) asked Don to add the content of his blog entries (rather than just titles) to his RSS feed. First Gudge then Don did so, but Sam pointed out...
  • Great List of Tools

    Via Ingo : This is a great list of .NET tools and resources...[ Darren ] It sure is.
  • Managed Direct3D - Texture Basics

    In this , the latest in my Managed Direct3D tutorial series, we talk about textures. Generally speaking, what we want is the ability to map images onto the surfaces of our triangles so they can look like brick, metal, leather, or whatever. Direct3D has...
  • Congratulations Are In Order

    First , to Sam Gentile, who worked on Groove, which has just won a JOLT award. Second , to Ingo Rammer, who has joined the wonderful experience that is being a DevelopMentor instructor. Welcome aboard: I've loved it for the last 3+ years, and I'm sure...
  • Niels Is In the House

    Fellow DM instructor Niels Berglund is blogging. And I'm still in Maui. :)
  • Greetings From Maui

    Hello from Maui. This is the view off my balcony. Don't hate me because it's beautiful. :) The wedding was a flat-out success: everyone had a great time, and basically nothing went wrong. It was very hectic beforehand, but now we're going to decompress...
  • Off to Hawaii

    I'm leaving for Hawaii in about 11 hours. I'm getting married there. Will I be blogging for the next few weeks? Probably a little - I'm helplessly nerdy, but hey, she has a degree in Computer Science from MIT, so I think I'm covered. ;)
  • Faster Shutdown

    The incomparable Ian Griffiths wrote on the WinTech Off Topic mailing list today: When I try to shut down, reboot, suspend, or hibernate my laptop, it sits and thrashes, often for minutes, before giving me the "Turn Off Computer" window. (I'm running...
  • NewsGator Plus Outlook 2003: Works Great...Now

    I use NewsGator to read blogs. I love it. So when I upgraded to Outlook 2003 (jury is still out, but I think I like it) I was crushed when NewsGator stopped working. Actually, it works fine under Outlook 2003, but not if you don't run as adminstrator...
  • Componentry Implies Versioning

    Ted has been publishing a great series of articles lately about J2EE. What's particularly interesting about them is that much of the material has nothing to do with J2EE. (Then again, much of the best writing applies across technologies. Like Tim's book...
  • IIS 6.0 New Features

    Sam Gentile talks about the new features of IIS 6.0, something I've been hearing about for a long time. IIS 6.0 has been totally re-designed with a new request processing architecture that has the benefits of high isolation without incurring the out-of...
  • Wrox Out of Business

    Simon Robinson posts on the DOTNET-CLR list : I know this isn't strictly speaking specifically technical stuff about the CLR, but I think this news is of sufficient relevence to post it here... It appears that Wrox Press has gone into liquidation. I don...
  • Modelers vs. Techies

    Ted Neward posts an interesting blurb about the difference between "techies" and "modelers". What I found surprising was that Ted classified himself as a "techie". I know I must be one myself, then, because to me, his seeming fondness of AOP makes him...
  • Look Who's Back

    Tim Ewald has finally started blogging again. Cool! Just about every time I talk to Tim, he tells me something I never knew. Half the time, it is (professionally) life-altering.
  • World's first brain prosthesis revealed

    The world's first brain prosthesis - an artificial hippocampus - is about to be tested in California. Unlike devices like cochlear implants, which merely stimulate brain activity, this silicon chip implant will perform the same processes as the damaged...
