This weekend we finished off season one of Veronica Mars , which absolutely rocked. Australian TV, of course, is still only about half way through the season (if that). Thank god for DVD. If you haven't given this show a chance, and you were into Buffy , Alias etc, you really should "do yourself a favour...
I dunno how many people are familiar with this term. I was chatting to Poo this morning and he hadn't heard it (at least not for a while), so I thought I'd post it up here in case there are others who hadn't heard of it. A heisenbug is a term named after the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle . The original...
If you're going to Code Camp Oz this year, I urge you to check out Comicster . Pull it down using the ClickOnce installer and have a play with it. Then if you want to ask about how I did something, or suggest an enhancement, or punch me in the face, just track me down at the event. See you there...
I'm one of those people who occasionally downloads TV shows from the net, rather than having to wait six months to see them on Australian TV. I like to think that I'm not totally being a "pirate", since I do actually buy the DVD box sets when they're eventually released, so the...
If you're like me, you use F12 in Visual Studio a lot. It jumps directly to the definition of the class or method underneath the carat. However, once you've jumped to that definition, chances are you want to go back where you came from and keep coding. Up 'til now I've been using Page Up/Down or Ctrl...
Pete over at BrownBot brings us this crowning achievement in web design: Doug and Dave's Computers . I think the use of blue, red, and aqua is inspired. And the liberal use of WordArt and MS Paint calibre graphics. Oh, and the fact that they spell "systems" with an apostrophe. These guys...
Crucible had a cool idea this morning , so I made him blog it so that he can claim prior-art when someone implements it and make millions. Y'know how nowadays when you set up a new PC, you have to spend an hour or two patching it from Windows Update? And (rumour has it that) it's possible to be hacked...
Looks like Microsoft are getting onto the "social bookmarking" bandwagon with Windows Live Favorites . Those of you who use del.icio.us will know what this is all about, but Live Favorites has one cool feature that del.icio.us doesn't have - the ability to import your favourites from IE...
Announced at CES earlier this week was the new Sony Reader . It's an electronic book that uses ePaper to display pages. The benefit of this is that electrical power is only needed to write the page once. So you're only actually using batteries when you turn the page. You can leave the thing sitting...
Take a listen to the latest episode of DotNetRocks , in which Chris Sells talks to Carl and Richard about declarative programming. Chris says some insightful things. Things like, "when was the last time you used imperative coding to create your data store?" In other words, when you create your data store...
