Here's a little trick that I use all the time. It's simple but handy. I often find that I want to have a ListBox full of some particular item - to be completely boring, let's say it's a list of Customer objects. We only want to display the customer's...

Direct3D Tutorials 3 & 4 are now available in French , thanks to further translation by Kershin . Enjoy!

If you read this blog regularly, you know that I spend a reasonable amount of my spare time contributing to the FlexWiki project. You also know that although I think it's a cool project, I hate the fact that the source code is hosted at GotDotNet . Well...

I had an aha moment the other day. It's nothing that lots of people haven't already figured out, but it helped me see things more clearly, so I'm posting it here. We were doing some design on some classes for the MSDN project I'm working on, and we were...

I've long since replaced the venerable Task Manager with Process Explorer from SysInternals . It's just better in every way - from the fact that it will show you which process created which other processes to the fact that the column names actually mean...

Micael Baerens has kindly translated another of my Direct3D tutorials into Danish. You can find “Oprettelse af et VertexBuffer objekt” (Creating a VertexBuffer) here . Much more of this, and I will be shamed into writing another one in English...

Via Ian , I saw this meme doing the rounds of various blogs. It tells you to do this: Grab the nearest book. Open the book to page 23. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions. My nearest book...

So, I was sitting at my computer in my basement office, reading my email. I became vaguely aware of something on the wall directly behind my monitor. After a few seconds, the small part of my brain that isn't devoted to what the computer is doing sent...

The most popular thing on this site continues to be my Direct3D tutorials . And yes, I do intend to write more at some point. At any rate, the first few of these are now available in French , thanks to translation by Kershin . Keep 'em coming, dude!

I finally got over to Channel9 to check out the video tour of MSDN that Chris Sells did. It turns out the tour was of the particular part of building 5 where the work I'm doing for MSDN is based. Since I know you're dying to know, I'll reveal that when...

My sister sent this to me. Hilarious. The link, that is. Although my sister is hilarious too.

I get notifications via email whenever anything changes on the FlexWiki wiki. It's one of the coolest features of FlexWiki, IMO, because I like for notifications to arrive via email/RSS (they're the same to me because of NewsGator ). Anyway, it's often...

If you're not subscribed to Hacknot , you should be. Pieces like this are pleasantly rational. Via Sam .

I generally don't regret my lack of a formal CS degree. My EE background generally seems to have adequately prepared me to write software, as most of what you need to know, you don't learn in CS classes. Still, I do occasionally think about how it would...

One of the things I do when I'm not programming is work on the house. For the last year and a half, that has included gutting the basement, in preparation for rebuilding it newer...better...stronger. As part of this process, I've busted a hole - about...
