1) Get New Mail
2) Read it with OWA
3) Notice that the envelope icon in the taskbar doesn’t go away, even if you double click it and see there are no new messages.
You can right click on the envelope and click “hide envelope” to make it go away, but it’s still an interesting UI bug…

Earthquake!
June 28, 2004 – 1:41 pm
There’s something brutally ironic about living in california for 4 years and never feeling an earthquake, then moving back to Illinois and feeling one:

Font Selection
June 28, 2004 – 12:36 am
this is so broken.
I installed the Bitstream Vera fonts (download from here) on Windows XP. I rebooted, changed font display options from 120 dpi to 96 dpi (which is more appropriate anyway since I’m only running at 1280×1024, to avoid 60 f—ing hz refresh rates at 1600×1200), whatever, I checked everything. No matter […]
Who writes this stuff?

If, for some reason, I append “.exe” to devenv, when running a command line build in a batch file, the build runs but is completely silent.
If I copy and paste that same command into a regular command prompt window, it returns immediately and the build happens silently in the background.
If I don’t put .exe on […]
windows XP idiocy of the day

Apparently (and I say only “apparently” because I’m not too big on testing this) — if I leave a process in the debug state using the MSVC.NET debugger and the screen saver kicks in, after I unlock the screen the UI fails to return — instead I just get my desktop background wallpaper and a […]
MSVC Bitch, Pt 3

Ugh, pimpl makes things WORSE, not better. I can’t complete on the pimpl struct at all when implementing class methods that use it — and often not anywhere after that either.
Man, what a terrible IDE.
Is this a bug?
June 3, 2004 – 5:22 pm
Ok, the title might be a slightly rhetorical question:
I’m writing an application in C++ using VStudio.NET and Windows XP. The application asserts an error, I choose to examine it under a debugger, I fix the error, stop the application, and restart it. Upon restarting the application, it throws a different assertion — the […]
Tenet Resigns
June 3, 2004 – 4:22 pm
… Nobody shocked.
The question a lot of people are asking is, why now?
Theory 1: A new senate report is going to rake him over the coals
Theory 2: Bush asked him to resign (but why would he do that … now?)
Theory 3: Gore called on him to resign (yeah right)
My personal theory: He’s been ready […]
