When working on some sort of data-driven project, I frequently have the need to allow deep-copying of data objects. There are several patterns that accomplish this, but I've settled on one in particular.
Most .NET developers are probably familiar with the ICloneable
interface. While this is a good starting ...
One of the better fails I've seen from MS Office:
It's been just about a year since I started working at Ontario Systems. I'd always been lacking evidence that it's a pretty fun place to work. Well now I have a few pictures of some of the more subtle goings-on.
Here are the present contents of the ...

Is it bad that whenever I code C# I can see exactly the IL that will be produced? Should I start developing with ilasm? Hmm...
Well, if you've been waiting for some kind of stable release of OpenVP for Banshee, you will love this. OpenVP is part of the Banshee Community Extensions 1.7.4 release! Go get it, and be sure to file any bugs you come across.
While thinking about how I was going to implement something in Kaffeeklatsch recently, I took a step back and looked at the class structure. What a mess. Over the next few days I drafted a new class structure that would better reflect the goals of the project and make implementation ...
So apparently the visualization stuff in Banshee has been disabled since it's a CPU hog. I don't know why I didn't notice it during testing (and I did check) but there seems to be a five-fold increase in CPU utilization with the visualization pipeline running. For me ...
This morning I got up and was going to take a hot shower. I started to take off my shirt and in so doing I must've bent my neck funny because I felt a sudden shooting pain near my left shoulder. After I recoiled, the initial sharp pain died ...
