  • The view from the Dragon's maw

    So; it's been quiet around here. You might have noticed. Then again, perhaps not. I've been busy you see, with work. Or something masquerading quite cleverly as work anyway. I must report that I have a new-found respect for analysts, married to a bitter hatred of the activity itself. You see, for the...

  • A bit of perspective..

    And that's the reason for this column: to lend a contrarian perspective to a world besotted with technology and all its bright, glittery appeal. This is not , as some of my colleagues have characterized it, an "anti-technology" column. I'm not, strictly speaking, anti-technology. I just don't treat it...

  • Highlights

    Wow, it’s been ages since I posted anything here. I figured it might be worth typing out a brief update before I hit the sack, so here’re a few things that have happened since my last post. Surprisingly, they’re all good. 1. I went to my first two SA Developer meetings. The first one...

  • Are you a sexy programmer too?

    The only reason I'm not applying for this gig is that I'm no longer in the 18-25 year old bracket. Also, I'm not actually a game designer, but that I could lie about. I repeat - the only reason. Just so we're clear. Anyway, I'll throw it out there for anyone else that is interested.

  • Et Tu, Microsoft?

    Have Microsoft gone fucking nuts? I know a lot of their business practices have been somewhat questionable, but this is beyond absurdity. Where are my Ubuntu Linux ISO's?

  • Cropper: nice tool, written in C#, with source. 'Nuff said.

    Brian Scott has written (back in September) a really cool little tool called Cropper , and he's giving the source away as well. Check it out.

  • Monday...

    I was planning on posting something really witty today. A couple of times I opened my browser, prepared to entertain the unwashed masses, but sadly I just couldn't muster the effort. The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak. Scott Reynolds has serendipitously saved me the trouble. Read this , I...
