Short story: I wrote a little tray app that will prevent your screensaver from running. Download it here . Long story: I’ve been training for a marathon over the last few months, but a couple of weeks ago I hurt my foot and have been unable to run consistently...

Update: Corrected terminology – it’s “generic functions” not “generic methods”. Aside from macros, another nice feature that Lisp supports is mixins . In fact, this is one of the (very, very) few things I miss about C++. Of course, Lisp does it in a much...

You’ve seen me talk here before about the fact that I have been lately fascinated with Lisp. Sadly, I haven’t been able to spend the time I’d like with it, but I continue to read and think about it. And I’d really, really like to put in some serious time...

One of the common complaints with the MSDN website is the fact that the pages are pretty fat. The team has done a lot to make this better, but there's still some stuff in there that not everyone needs. If you're interested in an extremely skinny version...

I finally got around to hacking together an x64 version of hobocopy , my little utility that copies files even if they are locked. Note that you might need to install the 64-bit C runtime (vcredist_x64) in order to get it to work. Both the updated binaries...

I enjoy the process of sharing some of my work as open source. One of my more successful efforts in that area has been Hobocopy . Like most (really, all) software, it's not done. There are any number of things I'd like to add to it, and I still get occasional...

Lately I've been enjoying going to the DC ALT.NET meetings. I can't say I've figured out what ALT.NET is supposed to mean, but the DC version appears to equate to smart people talking about interesting things, so that's good enough for me. Anyway, I shot...

Yesterday was a big day for me with respect to MSDN. There were a pair of "the new replaces the old" moments. The first event was the one Larry Jordan amusingly subtitles " There will be only one! " What happened was, the old MSDN finally got turned off...

Larry Jordan has put together a Facebook group (" Friends of the MSDN Library ") to aggregate people who have ideas about how MSDN can improve. I have a vested interest in this, as I make part of my living contributing to the code that makes it happen...

At a little before 11AM on March 15th, Wangdera Corporation welcomed its newest employee when our daughter Susan was born at our home in Virginia. Susan tipped the scales at a hefty 8 pounds, 14 ounces (4.03kg), and she and her mother are both doing extremely...

At our house, the newspaper gets full coverage: I read only the comics and my wife reads everything else. I like comics. So I thought it was pretty cool when I found out my good friend Rob Stenzinger has started to publish Art Geek Zoo , his latest artistic...

A few weeks ago, I posted a pair of little utilities that I wrote to help me play Falcon . They were just one of those spare-time, throwaway things most programmers do from time to time, so I didn't put a ton of thought into them. Well, last week, I got...

Here's a good one I was reminded of the other day. I was writing some code of the form we've all seen a thousand times before: public Foo Bar { get { return _bar; } set { _bar = value; } } Even with automatic properties in the latest version of C#, you...

Update: Part 2 is now available here . I've also updated the links below. I just got done mixing the first part of the third episode of Design and Implementation, the occasional podcast that Tim and I do. This time, we interviewed John Lam , who is a...

Update: The term "KeyServer" is a registered trademark, so I had to rename mine. Details and an updated version here . The download link in this entry is no longer active. I've been a fan of the F-16 combat flight simulator Falcon 4 for a long time. As...
