25. August 2006
Ok so the new demo of Just Cause is on XBox Live, I downloaded it and gave it a spin and here is what I think: Fun. Not GTA-murder-a-hooker-and-ride-over-pedestrians fun, but MDK-fun. For those of you that didn’t play MDK or don’t remember it, it was this kookie game from Shiny (before they reuined the Matrix [...]

24. August 2006
This is a fantastic little tidbit of information, aparently the “media companies” stepped in and told Microsoft they must limit and or disable HD playback on 32-bit machines as they do not have the ability to enforce copy protection like 64-bit systems do. The full blurb: Pity the Vista user with a 32-bit CPU. Senior Program [...]

23. August 2006
I already hate raccoons after an incident when I was younger and some got into our yard and just started systematically dropping our turtles off the roof, killing them, then tearing them open and eating them.

23. August 2006
Well the “Eclipse on Swing” discussion is heating up again. I have to admit that I do not see the allure to this. Assuming of course there is some benefit to doing this port, by the time it reaches parity with native SWT/JFace I imagine both Swing and SWT will be fast/flexible enough that no [...]

22. August 2006
Very interesting write-up on the Software by Rob blog about the personality traits that the best programmers have. How many of you read this list and think “That’s me!”… sort of like reading those lists “What makes the perfect husband?” or “How to know if you are a good lover” type lists: “That’s definately me!” Anyway [...]
