What?
I had a weird dream in which my GDNet rating increased by 1 point (the value was actually correct, too, unlike most of my dreams where numerical values tend to be wrong). I was happy about it, for some reason.

I'm slightly worried.

DS homebrew
I haven't had this much fun programming in a while. I got a Cyclo DS evolution recently, and started playing with devkitPro and libnds. Here, have some buttons I placed with the stylus.



I plan to write an IRC client, if debugging doesn't turn out to be a complete nightmare.

Vista-style menus in .NET
Ever noticed that .NET-style menus are ugly?

Windows Vista comes with a new style of menus (which allow images, too), and a few updates to the UxTheme API, including the ability to render these themed menus. When the .NET framework was designed, however, this functionality wasn't available; and you …

My new found love: XAML
I recently discovered XAML, eXtensible Application Markup Language, when the .NET 3.0 release completely took me by surprise. I didn't even think this stuff would be released on Windows XP!

In an attempt to learn how to use this stuff, I've been writing a tabbed document editor. At the moment it onl…

Boredom
I'm stuck at uni without an Internet connection [depressed] actually, that means I can get some actual work done [wink] I'm currently writing a 2D game for my university project.

Not having Internets causes problems though. I'm drawing all the fonts myself (bitmap fonts [sad]), recording all the so…

Chef
I've always wanted to try the language that is Chef. It's the perfect example of an esoteric language. It's humorous, it's difficult to program in, and the resulting program looks funny when completed.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find an interpreter that I'd want to use. The Perl Module do…

New journal
Recently a few friends and I purchased a dedicated server, and are now running loads of stuff on it. We've got a counter-strike public server (onfiar.com:27015) running (although we use it for matches sometimes until we can be bothered to sort out two servers).

So I've got a new journal now, which i…

My System Library
Here is a piece of TriINTERCAL code never seen before. I shall warn you now, it is not pretty [grin]

Without further ado, I present you my TriINTERCAL system library, which is almost complete.


(1000) PLEASE IGNORE .4
PLEASE ABSTAIN FROM (1005)
(1009) DO STASH .1 + .2 + .5 + .6
DO .4 <- #1
DO (…

Befunge!
Ok, so I am currently posting without a mouse. This sucks. Especially when you try to use Firefox. The thought for the day is,

[grin]Befunge![grin]

I'm currently developing a command-line 3D befunge interpreter, which will hopefully be cross-platform. I am attempting to do this in C++, with quite som…

Replacing the logon screen
I just discovered how amazingly fun it is to replace the Windows NT logon screen. If you like Win32, that is.

The logon screen is called the GINA DLL (Graphical Identification and Authentication), and is loaded at system startup by Winlogon.exe. The purpose of the GINA is to display identification d…

Don't do this
Imagine you have a C++ class 'program', which takes a reference to a stack in its constructor.


template
struct program{
typedef T value_type;
stack& stk;

program(stack& stk): stk(stk)
{}

void operator()(){}
};



That's all very well, until you decide to have the stack as a member variable, …
