You may recall that Ted recently talked about the distinction between techies and modelers . I then questioned his "technieness" - by his reaction you'd have thought I questioned his parentage and sexuality both. :) Regardless, Ted now has this to say...

This looks cool and I want one.

A friend of mine wrote me up on IM the other day, asking how to use a hash algorithm to generate short, unique identifiers out of a longer piece of information. I suggested that she ditch the hash idea and just generate random numbers. It's pretty much...

My friend and fellow DevelopMentor instructor Richard Blewett now has a blog. Here's the URL . Here's the RSS . I've had dozens of conversations with Rich - including this one - but we've never actually met face-to-face, since he lives in the UK and we...

Here's what the really hard-core web service zealots play when they're not working: SOAP .
-
In the beginning, there was the .INI file. Then, Microsoft created the Registry, and only an idiot would ever store configuration in some text file just lying around on disk. Then, Microsoft brought us .NET, and .NET brought us .config. We're back to...

Steve Loughran has a great quote on Sam Ruby's blog , in a thread about whether or not SOAP sucks : You can see the latter on the axis user mail list, where users complain that they are getting a 'connection refused' error, AxisFault 'HttpResponse:404...

Chris Sells has joined Microsoft as a full-time employee. Don could barely contain himself . :) It's definitely good news for Microsoft, for Chris, and for anyone that wants to learn about Longhorn over the coming months and years. Congrats!

As you might have guessed from the title of this post, I started off writing a big tirade about this . After thinking about it a bit, I decided I'd rather say this: I have been lucky enough to meet many of the "big names" in our particular corner of the...

I haven't played with it at all, but sellsbrothers.com reports: New OpenGL binding for .NET from the CsGL people, supporting GL 1.1, GLU 1.3, and GLUT 3.7.6. CLS-compliant, cross-platform, yada, yada. Interesting - the cross-platform support makes it...

Here's the latest in my Managed Direct3D series. A little exerpt: I know I said last time in our discussion about textures, that I?d go on to talk about meshes. But I lied. Actually, I made a mistake. What happened was, I started writing about meshes...

Don thinks his old BMW is too LA . Well, I'm from MN, and I live in DC, but here goes: Don, I want you to know I'd be more than happy to give your old car a good home. I'll only drive it on weekends, I promise. Just mail me the title and I'll take care...

I had what I thought was an interesting idea for a book the other day. Since I doubt I'll ever write the darn thing, I'll post it here in case it inspires someone. Basically, I thought it would be cool to write a list of 10 or 20 or whatever common myths...

So I've been doing a bunch of security work lately. Because of a slightly strange mix of requirements, I wound up spending about a week working on an authentication and key exchange protocol that was halfway between Kerberos and SSL. We've since ditched...

A friend of mine asked me today how one would go about encrypting something using the Rijndael algorithm (also known as AES) using the .NET framework. I?ve done some crypto work, so I whipped up a quick example for him. It turns out to be pretty much...
