Finally watching “The Kingdom” from 2007. Gosh its bloody, violent and full of dodgy stereotypes. Why would Islamic militants not manage to hit the broadside of a barn with 2,000,000 bullets and yet 4 FBI agents are all crack marksmen.
Not a great movie.
Anyway found a new thing on CodeProject the other day. Quick Answers. Its neat, but it doesn't seem to have the momentum yet of a StackOverflow or a ExpertsExchange. Time will tell
Saw Avatar the other day, pretty impressive 3D graphics. This seems to be the film of the summer.
And its not any one scene that is special, its the fact that the whole lot seamlessly works together.
Ive just been trying to figure out a way to hook into the windows message loop of a WinForm.
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
Trace.WriteLine(m.Msg.ToString() + “: “ + m.ToString());
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
In an attempt to fix a form that hangs when you lock the computer. Haven't fixed the form yet but the message loop helps.
Update: In the end it was controls being created on a background thread which lead to the hang.
Haven't posted for ages. I have been reading a book "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely about behavioral economics. Fascinating stuff in it, like how first impressions count on our later choices. A good read so far, I recommend it if you have the time.
It starts up much faster now, well done to Rick Brewster and anyone else who worked on this version.
If they could speed it up even faster it would be just fantastic.
how stack overflows ratings system is busted?
I've kind of lost interest in it now. My stack does not overfloweth anymore.
I was just having a shower and thinking of how Melbourne is growing and I think I came up with a new word. Huburb to describe a major hub suburb. The ones where all the trains and trams meet and there are cinemas and shopping centres.
I was thinking of Camberwell and Box Hill when it came to me. The “huburbs” that have failed to materialize from Steve Brack’s Melbourne 2030.
So that’s my new word. I’ll think I’ll send the word to Justin Madden the current planning minister for Victoria.
