(Untitled)- October 31, 2002 An unbelievable optical illusion. I checked it with eye dropper and it's true! from johohttp://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/10/30.html#a115 (Untitled)- October 23, 2002 Two good interviews: Marissa Mayer, Google Product Manager and Alan Cooper.http://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/10/22.html#a113 (Untitled)- October 20, 2002 I'm interested in .NET clients without client-side installs. Chris Sells has a great example in his Wahoo game. I love to click on a link in a browser and see a Windows program run with no (visible) installation. He has an article about .NET Zero Deployment on MSDN, where he says Only a technology that provided a deployment as compelling as HTML would stand a chance of unseating it. Jason Clark covers the same issue in his piece, The Return of the Rich Client. The same feature, along with CLR..http://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/10/20.html#a112 (Untitled)- October 12, 2002 From the beating-my-head-against-a-brick-wall department: I snagged GotDotNet's Message Board sample and put it up on my machine at work to start a new intranet for the engineering group I'm in. In keeping with the idea that an intranet must be a communications tool that all employees check every day, I made a "Daily DotNet" forum and posted a code puzzle every day, to get some discussion going.

I got this one from Prosise's book: Spot the bug in.http://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/10/12.html#a109 (Untitled)- October 12, 2002 My first impulse was to take exception to this from Petzold's .NET book: Don't do this, however:Size.Width = 2;That's setting a property of a property. For reasons beyond the comprehension of people who don't write compilers, it's not allowed. In a later example, he gives the right way to do this kind of thing, but he doesn't explain why the statement doesn't work.

I had to restore Radio because of a complete hard-drive refresh and I somehow lost some of the latest posts. Gone from my hard drive and of course when I started Radio it automatically posted everything, thereby wiping them from the server as well. But I simply searched Google for something in the the latest one and clicked on that beautiful "cached" link on the results page. There they were, waiting to be copied and pasted, for reposting on another day. Not that..http://radio.weblogs.com/0104841/2002/10/11.html#a107 |
