It was a long, long, long plane ride over here – about 20 hours. On the way,
I wrote up the next DirectSound tutorial. It’s about positioning sound in three
dimensions. You can find it here.
I figure I&rsqu...

I’m leaving today for Taiwan. I’ll be there for a couple of weeks, so
if I’m a bit light on the blogging, you’ll know why.

blogs that Jon
Udell writes that blogging is easier than publishing to MSDN, and that since content
seeks the path of least resistance, people tend not to write for MSDN. Well,
what if...

So, I've recently made a conscious decision to not install Visual Studio.NET
on my new machine. I'm running Cygwin and Emacs,
building with NAnt, and doing source control
with CVS

Brad Wilson has a response to
my recent post. Here’s an excerpt:
I read Craig Andera's post about

The other day, I was working through some code, adding error handling. We use
the Enterprise Instrumentation Framework to do this (oddly only available via MSDN
Subscriber download at the Universal level). When I got into the ASP.NET web pages
I’d written, I had a bit of a problem. I didn’t really want to add try/catch
blocks around ever...

We all know what the solution to hardware problems are: a swift - literal - boot.
So when my Dell Inspiron 8100 refused to let me type the letter ‘a’ any
more, I simply took the damn keyboard apart and put it back on. Working great now.
Of course, the speakers don’t seem to work any more, but that’s a trade
I’ll make any day ...

The other day, Sergey Vlasov asked
me how to deal with the absence of the Managed DirectX assemblies on the target
computer. It’s a great question, because – as more and more people work
with Managed DirectX – applications are going to have t...

If you've been following the SCO lawsuit at all, you might have gone through the phases I did: "Wow, this sounds like bad news for Linux!" followed some time later by "Wow, SCO must be desperate to pull this sort of lame stunt." Well, I'd say that this...

As you may know, I'm a consultant. Right now, my main clients are Microsoft (you've
probably heard of them) and Integic (you might not have heard of them). Both of them
have some pretty interesting projects going on. I'd like to talk a bit about the one
at Microsoft.

I’m a keyboard kind of guy. I hate it when I have to put my hands on the mouse
– it slows me way down. So it should be no surprise that I’m a fan of
emacs – keystrokes for everything. Still, I tend to use VS.NET, because it’s
got a bunch of stuff that I can’t get (yet) in emacs, like Intellisense and
integrated debuggin...

Astute reader Ross

article in MSDN, which talks about some of the VS.NET-specific schema extensions

Quote:
"Humans and higher primates share approximately 97% of their DNA in common. Recent
research in primate programming suggests computing is a task that most higher primates
can easily perform. Visual Basic 6.0™ was the preferred IDE for the majority
of experiment primate subjects."

The other day, I was playing around with Microsoft’s Enterprise Instrumentation
Framework (EIF), and I got to wondering how it was that VS.NET “knew”
about the schema for the configuration files. You see, it was giving me Intellisense
in the XML editor, letting me know what elements and attributes were legal to appear
as children of...
