I'm in Redmond this week, visiting Microsoft for the first time ever. It seems a bit odd that I've never been here, having made a living focusing on their technologies for the last eight years. Anyway, I'm excited about the trip for two reasons. First...

Fascinating.
I will look forward eagerly to the next few decades’ transformation of psychology
into cognitive science.

I was just looking for this yesterday. Love it.
If you're in VS, and you hit CTRL+- (that's control
minus), it's the equivalent of the browser back button. This is great when you
right-click on something, and select "Goto Defini...

I’m constantly hearing from people, “Why would Microsoft do that?”
Or sometimes it takes the form of, “Why didn’t Microsoft
do that?” Almost invariably, this is because people are examining the situation
from the narrow perspective of their ...

Keith Brown just
sent this out to one of the internal DevelopMentor mailing lists. He’s often
said that security is about risk management. I agree; it’s not about making
everything super tight, it’s about making everything tight enough.

One of the questions I see fairly often is, “How do I change what the JITter
produces at runtime to get logging/security/validation/whatever?” The answer
to this question is generally, “If you have to ask, it’s probably more
complicated than you want to deal with.” But although it smacks of

Franci Penov (whose homepage I don’t know) posted this
link over on the win_tech_off_topic mailing
list. It’s an absolutely fascinating speech given by Clay Shirky earlier this
year about the effects of people on software and ...

I was talking to my friend Rich the
other day about a problem he was having with the .NET encryption routines. He was
using my How
to Encrypt a String sample, so he asked me if I could take a look...

I came across this
link on the DOTNET-CLR mailing
list today. It points to a GotDotNet workspace where Peter Hallam has posted a
library containing interop declarations for many, many of the...

I like to work at the command line. Indeed, for some of the work I’m doing right
now, I have to, since our build process is command-line driven. But I have a particular
directory structure that I like to use to put all my files that need backing up in
one place. Unfortunately, that means that from the command line I’d have to
work with paths l...

From Brad.
Interesting…
The thing that sold Windows as a viable gaming
platform for most people was the appearance of

A few weeks ago I got an email from a reporter at Software Development Magazine, telling
me that she’d written something using stuff off my blog and asking for a picture.
As amused as I was to have a complete stranger asking me to send them a headshot,
I was curious to see what she’d written. My referrer log told the tale today.
The article is...

After ordering a
computer from Alvio, I got an email virus
that looks like it came from them.

I’ve had my
latest Direct3D article ready for a while now, but because I author using Word
11 Beta 2, and because the XML format changed between the “released” beta
and the recent beta refresh, I had to make some code changes to my website before...

One of the things I’m looking forward to about having a new
computer that runs Windows XP and has some reasonable graphical horsepower is
that I’ll be able to screw around with Windows Movie Maker. We took a bunch
of video when we were in Hawaii gett...
