do it again
May 17th, 2008Xobni. Is. In. Public. Beta.
May 5th, 2008Upgraded to WordPress 2.5!
April 7th, 2008That is all :) Oh, and I deleted the Tom Cruise crazy video post (where he talks about what it means to be a scientologist), because it isn’t on youtube anymore. The youtubes have let me down.
Singularity and the MSR-LA
March 5th, 2008Slashdot is running an article about how Singularity is now Open Source, and I’m surprised to see that, of all places, Slashdot missed the obvious point.
Return to the “sharing is caring” MSR-LA (before it was the MSR-SSLA or something like that):
4. That Microsoft is granted back, a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, and sub-licensable license to, for any purpose, reproduce, publicly perform or display, install, use, modify, distribute, make and have made, sell and transfer modifications to and/or derivative works of the Software source code or data that you provide to Microsoft through the CodePlex tool or otherwise make directly available to Microsoft.
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. The polite “share-alike” continues.
Of course, if you want to, say, try out one that isn’t an assrape in disguise and runs actual applications, jump over to JNode. No promises, but using this one won’t require you to sleep on your stomach for weeks afterwards.
Lawrence Lessig on who he’ll be voting for
February 7th, 2008ha. haha. hahahaha.
January 31st, 2008Apparently, if it weren’t for big evil IBM oppressing Microsoft, OOXML would have been a standard in “business as usual”. Oh, you heard me right. Go read the article. Once you’ve finished laughing, come back.
C#: -100, Java: +1 (?!)
December 18th, 2007While working on some code for work, I came to the understanding that, in general, the C# team (at least in its public form, i.e. the public responses to questions and justifications for lack of features), suffers in two ways.
First off, they suck at the details (more to come).
Second off, they are idiots (to be explained as well).
A joke
December 13th, 2007I heard this one from my father when he had had a few too many beers (my dad is rather funny in general, but even more so when his grip on sobriety loosens up). This won’t be entirely accurate to what he said, but the general gist should be correct:
In the words of the great Ben Folds…
December 13th, 2007Give me my money back, you bitch.
And by “you bitch”, I’m referring to Liberty Mutual, who have yet to pay me back for the accident.
how to not ask questions redux
December 7th, 2007It never ends. Today, somebody sent a question to a linux questions alias about some Microsoft specific compiler extension on Windows and what equivalent exists, if any, in gcc. As always, the very first google search result for the name of the declaration and “gcc” yields the answer.
Then again, he probably used Live search, and the first answer probably was a picture of a goat or something. Yay for smarter search!
