Apparently Netscape is building
a dual rendering engine browser, IE and Firefox.. I wonder if they use wininet/urlmon
on the IE renderer.

Sorry 'bout the lack of a source code yesterday. Life got in the way
again. I went up to Blackbushe airport to get all the info on obtaining
my fixed-wing add-on. I thought I was pretty much immune to getting
lost with my Audi's fabulous gps/route planner. Unfortunately many
addresses in the UK are really only trackable by postcode. Many houses
don't have numbers, just names. The airport is in Camberly. No street
name. Unfortunately the Audi system doesn't 'do' postcodes, so I saw a
lot o...

| 4. | | From VAX to Windows - Captured: 19-1-2005 17:29:50
When I first got involved with Microsoft
it was around 1990 or ’91. The world of the time was dominated by IBM, with
DEC a close second. If you wanted to network PCs you used Novell or Banyan. All PC
programs were DOS programs. “Windows” was just one of many graphical libraries
being used by software to handle drawing on the screen. And if you wanted to do real
work you used a mainframe or minicomputer.
At the time, M...

I
never really got into the whole conspiracy theory thing. For
instance, I’ve never seen even a single full episode of The X-Files. For
one thing, I already had enough T.V. to watch, for another, David Duchovney (or however
you spell it) always seemed like kind of a dick. And
I found it annoying how every other woman on the planet seemed to think he was hot,
when I looked and looked, and just saw a scrawny, too-full-of...

Oh Lordy!
I had to use my drill sergeant voice today.
Now, normally, I am into the whole pro-active discipline thing. My kids are
very sensitive and spirited, so I try to minimize disruption, stick to a
schedule, keep things predictable and consistent...use reminders and
re-direction...etc.

I like this song so much. Eyes On Me by Faye Wong.
To listen and sing along, click here.
Whenever sang my songs, on the stage, on my own.
Whenever said my words, wishing they would be heard.
I saw you smiling at me, was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner, of this tiny little bar.

... I came out of Argos (shop) and got into my car. I reversed out of the space and was about to pull off when a car coming the opposite way pulled over to the wrong side of the road in front and stopped to let the passenger out. It was a fairly old couple (50's) and my wife and I had a little chuckle about it while the woman got out of the car, opening her door into the other side of the road (there were no cars coming). Anyway, the old chap driving didn't seem too pleased bec...

| 18. | | Money in politics isnt bad - it is the way it is expressed that counts - Captured: 24-1-2005 19:28:46
There's a mounting
outcry about the way money funneled into 527 organizations during the recent election.
An example is here at
the Star Tribune.
The underlying
theme of the article and much of the outcry is that there should be less money in
politics. That may or may not be true.
The real goal
should be to ensure that the common citizen has a voice at least equal to the voices
of corporate
America

Hani's at it again, talking up (in his inimitable style) talking up TheServerSide Symposium next month. He must've been running low on the creative juice, because when he gets around to my name , the best he can come up with is:
Bill Berk will no doubt tell us how great JBoss is (I hear he's been practising his umms, hmms and errrs). Gregor Hohpe will STILL be trying to sell more copies of his book (possibly giving Jason Hunter a run for his money in the best-dead-horse-flogging-via-a-book ca...

A while back, Cathi Gero and I got into an extended discussion about the Decorator design pattern, and she brought up the .NET Extender Provider implementation, which I frankly admit I hadn't seen before. Now she's blogged about it and based on what I read there, I've got to admit, it's a lot more like an aspect than an actual decorator--the ProvideProperty attribute essentially acts as a pointcut, and the extender provider itself as the advice. (The weaver is arguably either VS.NET or the WinFo...
