To avoid intimidating people, I generally don’t wear the tight shirts in public, but Dax Pandhi captures my hidden muscles perfectly! : )

I'm updated SolFX to use DrawingBrushes instead of Canvases and to use a much simpler card back, so performance is much improved. In fact, it's so much improved that I'm starting to think about other things that it needs...

I can't really improve on this: "Head teachers have banned children from using video phones to stop them slapping other pupils in the face and recording the attacks on their mobiles.”

Jason Olson recently interviewed for an SDE/T position (Software Development Engineer in Test) at Microsoft and although he didn't get it, he provides some words of advice for folks about to interview for the first time.

If you’ve got .NET 2.0 and the Nov. ’04 Avalon CTP, click here to play my scaling, vector-based, WinFX version of Solitaire. Features include lovely scaling of the cards as the window resizes, real-time drag ‘n’ drop of the cards, sol-like card stacking, ClickOnce deployment and the source. The performance in this version is much improved because I’m re-using DrawingBrushes and a simplified card back. Enjoy!

In honor of Rory Blyth’s birthday, Jim Blizzard has posted a Haiku. I’m not so cultured as Jim, as I could only manage a limerick:

There once was a lad named Rory,
who told many a bawdy story.
He came right out,
like an orgasmic shout,
spreading mirth in drum-beating glory.

Happy birthday, pal. : )

I don't know what Amazon is doing -- except possibly trying to stimulate blog entries -- because I could detect no advertising in there most recent home page movie short, “Tooth Fairy,” but I did enjoy it.
