• Fun:: A new Boolean library for you ('cause I like you)

  So a co-worker (Scott H.) sent me some code that is purely fictional (but a sick part of me wishes I had actually found it in the wild). Here's the code - Public Function IsNotFalse( ByRef Value As Boolean ) As Boolean IsNotFalse = False If Value = True...

• Looking at Python...

  I have decided to spend sometime learning Python. I may actually have a small amount of time to do so over the next month. The main reason is this article by Darrell.

• ICUI - the reverse of FUD (AKA Offending everyone)

  When I wrote the experts post I was trying to attack a particular attitude that I see in commenters, and on some blogs. There are a lot of people out there who subscribe to what I now call "ICUI" which stands for "It's cool! Use it!"

• Future Personal Language Choices in VS2005

  I had a conversation with a friend this morning that somewhat scared me. This friend has been the biggest VB.Net proponent I have ever met. His stance is what has inspired to stand up to " stupid language bigotry " (BTW, this ended in a truce). I have...
