So. Trillian has been updated - the latest version of Trillian and the patches for version 1.0 fix the issue with MSN. I still think it's an interesting shift in the landscape, but I guess I should research a bit more carefully before posting next time...

Several readers pointed out to me that the Washington Post article refers to MSN Chat, not MSN IM, a completely separate service. Color me unaware - thanks to those that set me straight. But my memory was correct - there is an unrelated move to block...

A sharp-eyed friend of mine spotted an article in the Washington Post (availble here ). It looks like MSFT will be limiting use of MSN Instant Messenger. What I can't figure out is how this affects me - if I have to start paying for it, I'd rather use...

The DirectX SDK Summer Update is available now here…in
theory. I haven’t been able to download it yet. I’ll keep trying.
Supposedly, the managed docs got an update. They could certainly use it – there’s
basically nothing ...

The
other half of Tim’s MSDNTV presentation about how we use XML at MSDN.

I live near Washington DC, so we were right in the path of the hurricane that came
through last night. I wound up staying home from work on Thursday because I had to
help my wife make a few preparations (trimming branches that were close to windows,
for example) and I didn’t wind to get caught out at work if things got nasty.

I just noticed that the following is on MSDN TV. If you want to know what I’ve
been up to over at MSDN, this is it: we’re implementing Tim’s vision.
It’s been a blast, and has fundamentally changed the way I think about XML-based
systems.

I hang out on the Managed
DirectX Newsgroup, as it’s a good way to see what people are dealing with
in their Managed DirectX applications. The guy that almost always answers questions
is an MVP by the name of Rich. I wandered over to his website today and found

The trip back from Taiwan was slightly brutal – I always have a harder time
going east than west. I’m not sure why. But I was smart, and I charged up all
four batteries for the trip. One of the things I was able to get done when I wasn’t
sleeping was to write the last in the DirectSound tutorial series. You can find it

Recently, on one of the internal DevelopMentor mailing lists, someone asked, “Hey
Ian, you say that the Windows Forms architecture is busted. Why?” (Ian Griffiths
is one of our Windows Forms experts.) Ian’s response was great, and since he
doesn’t maintain a homepage at the moment, he’s allowed me to post it
here. If you&rsqu...

While in Taiwan, I got laid up with an allergic reaction to fruit. Because I couldn’t
go outside or walk around much, I spent a lot of quality time with the computer, finally
getting around to a lot of things that I wanted to do. One of the things that’s
been on my list for a long time is to write a game. I sat down, and over the
course o...

Mark Taparauskus is the author of DevelopMentor’s Programming
C# course. As you might expect of someone with those credentials, he knows a lot
about C#. He’s been making a habit recently of posting interesting little tidbits
he finds to one of the internal mailing lists. This one con...

Tim Ewald is one of the people at DM who has changed the way I think about software.
In fact, he has a tendency to do so just about every time I talk to him. So it’s
great to be working with him at MSDN.
One of the things that Tim has really taken to heart is what he (and others) call
“the XML lifestyle”. Among o...
