Saw How Not to Program in C++: 111 Broken Programs and 3 Working Ones, or Why Does 2+2=5986 on the "Top list" on the ACM online bookshop thing (Members only). I was dumb enough not to read reviews first, and took a look. Basically, it's very disappointing. I've read 4 chapters so far, hoping that I…

If you've not been following the comics of "FlintLocke" on gamespy, you owe it yourself to do so, they're dang humourous. This is the guide.
In general, read everything that Fargo has to say (Check the link to PlanetFargo at the the top of this journal).

While visiting my company's private forums (on its website - shared hosting), I got the following funny error page:
Seems like our hosting's doing some maintainance mumbo-jumbo, because a couple of days ago I got a "There's no website configured at this address" error. I was able to go through by re…

It's really tough to be doing 2 jobs at the same time, with loads of other responsibilities at the same time. It really hurts inside. I need to take a break.
sigh
Listening to "Don't stop dancing" by Creed right now, and it really catches the essence of what I'm feeling.

If you've never heard of the 1337 programming language, you owe it to yourself to check it out. I'll just post a sample:

Microsoft's holding the Middle East Developers' Conference (MDC) in Cairo, Egypt for the 3rd time in a row, with Gates as the keynote speaker for the 2nd time in a row. Last year was simply amazing, loaded with information, with people like Patric Hynds, Stephen Forte and Rafael Lukawitski giving a…

Dustin "circlesoft" Himer has just released the DirectMesh 2 spec for public viewing/feedback. I've not had the chance to read it in detail yet, but I've read a draft before and really liked it.

...time. Loads of time.
I know this doesn't look like development-related, but it really is. Avoid them like the plague, and if you fail (like I did), only play them when you have a critical thing to do soon (e.g. a meeting). That way, you guarantee you're going to force yourself to quit the damn th…

Watched a couple of episodes today, providing Tips and tricks on security. Both are rather short (total time for both is less than 25 minutes). The first was about the singe rule developers MUST follow: don't trust the data. Trace data entry points in your application, and validate like there's no …

I've just started manually installing php - Been doing a reading through the manual installation steps, seems fine. I want to try it this way.

Something's wrong here, and it's not php related. I just can't add a new application mapping for some reason...

I just came across this a couple of weeks ago, and I thought I'd share: Ultimate++ is a C++ windows/linux app development platform - A library + an IDE. I like that approach of providing a library supported with a working IDE - we'll see how it works out.

And Metrowerks...
I don't know what they've been doing since the first version of their "flagship" product. I mean, we're using 9, and it's one of the ugliest and most crippled beasts I've seen.
The IDE is so primitive, crashes frequently, and the editor is so stupid (without any exageration, notepad…

DISCLAIMER: The source code in this post was NOT tested on a compiler. Beware of the mighty typo.
DISCLAIMER2: I tried to make this "scripture" clear. It isn't.
Often, programmers do not manage the lifetime of COM objects properly. This is usually due to one of 2 things:

Ok, so - for some reason - I feel like introducing myself before I actually start. However, given my jumpy nature, and the fact that time is always passing, I'll make it as quick as possible.
So, who are you?

Again, this is the message. Just testing how it's going to show up.
And in order not to make this too dry, here's a newsbit:
NeXe is dead. Soon, it'll rise from the ashes [grin].
Enough for now.
