Ok, I understand that C++ is hard to parse and so a C++ IDE can’t be as slick as, say, IntelliJ. (Yes, IntelliJ is the gold standard for language-specific programming editors. If you’re coding in java with any other IDE, you are hurting your own productivity.)
That having been said, there are some very […]

Microsoft Orwell Customer Experience Improvement Program
May 27, 2004 – 1:36 pm
So, I just got back from lunch. In my systray, there is an icon bearing the microsoft office logo.
First, I hover:
it says: “Microsoft Office Customer Experience Improvement Program”
Hmm, I remember something like that popping up a couple of days ago and asking me if I wanted to send anonymous data to microsoft about […]
prose
May 27, 2004 – 1:08 pm
who writes prose like this?
Washington, which was just weeks ago in the grip of neoconservative orthodoxy and absolute belief in Bush’s inevitability and righteousness, is now in the throes of agonizing events and being ripped apart by investigations. Things fall apart; all that was hidden is revealed; all sacred exposed as profane: the military, loyal […]
A Brief Windows Rant
May 27, 2004 – 11:59 am
As long as I’m here –
MAKEINTRESOURCE() has to be the most rediculous fucking thing ever. What the hell were you people thinking? Seriously?
C++, Java
May 27, 2004 – 11:51 am
After about a year and a half of doing pretty much pure java (though also some time on
wx4j (a Java binding for a C++ GUI toolkit), I started a new job doing primarily C++ development. It’s also win32 instead of linux/crossplatform, but that’s not super germane, really, since so far I haven’t done much […]
Fair Warning, Part Deux
May 19, 2004 – 11:41 am
No really, it seems like I’m going to have lots of stuff to bitch about with windows. I already have a pretty good rant worked up on what a gigantic motherfucking pain in the ass it is to use MSXML after using Java’s DOM (ignoring the more convenient implementations like JDOM and even TinyXML). […]
Hungarian Notation
May 19, 2004 – 11:35 am
Once upon a time, I was young and foolish and ignorant, and writing some code in Visual Basic. (Visual Basic 3. In 1994. Get off my back.) I learned that many people used this weird convention, where, say, a text control started with txt. txtName seemed kinda weird to […]
Fair Warning
May 17, 2004 – 4:39 pm
Just as a warning — I just started a new day job, which involves lots of Win32 development, so I imagine I’ll be blogging all kind of useful links for Win32 development, which will make many of you vomit. Don’t worry — I’m puking in my trashcan too.
