My wife and I only recently bought a TV, but we still don’t get cable or even have an antenna. If we ever did, the only things we’d watch are Discovery, History, and Food.

I was taking a look at the download page for my Word Count Plugin for Windows Live Writer.
It’s gotten a few hundred downloads (thanks!), but the single review is actually spam. Unfortunately, I can’t remove it or even report the review from my account since it’s my own software.
Plea for help: Can a helpful reader [...]

or Why I Don’t Leave The House Anymore
“Am I disturbing you?”
The last movie I saw in the theater was the 3-D version of Beowulf. The theater was fairly empty–maybe 30-40 people total. Two teenage girls sat two seats to my left. A man was in front of me. The two girls talked loudly through before [...]

I’m using Simple Tags to do the tags on this site. I wanted to enable support for these tag links in Windows Live Writer (it beats having to log in and edit each post after publishing).
Quite easy:
Click on Insert Tags
In the Tag Provider combo, scroll to the bottom where it says (Customize Providers…) and [...]

This kind of thing has happened to be a few times now, so I thought I’d share the fun.
In one of our pieces of software we have a process that looks like this:
void MyThread()
{
while (true)
{
DoFunctionA();

One of the things I decided when I started working was that I was not going to be one of those guys who worked 12 hours a day for a company (if I ever become an entrepreneur, all bets are off since I’m working for myself). So far, I’ve been pretty successful, and I’ve noticed [...]

Working on an MFC app that has just been converted to Unicode (finally!), I noticed that one button (which is created dynamically) is too small to fit the text in Korean (and Russian and a few other languages).
The code was calling something like:
CSize sz = m_btAdjustColors.GetDC()->GetTextExtent(sCaption);
It seems correct, but these script languages are throwing it [...]

Via Geekologie comes the hilarious tale of a man (boy, really) caught stealing NetFlix DVDs from a mailbox. The comments are funny, too. Some seem like they’re obviously written by the neighbor.
One issue I didn’t really see addressed in the comments on the post is the overall issue of mail safety. People need to consider [...]

I just discovered this gem of a podcast. The Bugle is a podcast published by the Times Online. Better writing than the Onion, and funnier than the Daily Show. It’s basically two Brits being witty about the week’s news. I’ve only listened to episode one so far, but found myself laughing too hard to concentrate [...]
