  • I'm losing what's left of my hair reading ex-co worker's blogs!!

    Call me mean-spirited, but... There are a couple blogs I read from people whom I've personally worked with, and it takes every ounce of strength not to post rude and obscene comments. It's like, they blog about things that more or less make sense, while I'm plodding through their code that...

  • Holmes on Homes for Software Developers

    My girlfriend and I watch Holmes on Homes quite a bit (it's on 3 different channels here in Canada). If you aren't familiar with it, it's about this big guy, Mike Holmes, who's a contractor (think houses, not software you geeks!) trying to fix the messes left behind by other contractors...

  • WoW Forums switch from .NET to Java

    This isn't ground breaking news, and I'm sure there are hundreds of sites every day switching between technologies (.NET <--> Java <--> PHP <---> XYZ), but the new Blizzard forums are now powered by apache-coyote/jsp instead of IIS/.NET like they used to be. I'd really like...

  • Where are the .NET Socket Servers?

    I've been searching the web high and low looking for a robust .NET socket server (specifically aimed at multiplayer gaming, but I'm at the point where I'll be glad to find anything). There are decent codeproject articles that cover the basics, and even a handful of client-server multiplayer games, but...

  • JetBrains does it again? TeamCity's here!

    Have the good folks at JetBrains done it again? Today they announced the first public release of their newest product: TeamCity . Looks like a build management / continuous integration tool. Interestingly enough, it's works for both Java and .NET and seems to plug into most of the popular .NET tools...
