Watashi no "IL Code" seksu desu
So, I may not be entirely up on my un-couth Japanese sayings, but one thing is for sure, IL code, to the average developer (Read: Me) might as well be written in the same Romaji thats in the title. That is, it's hard to make heads or tails of, and since you most likely never, or only rarely look at it, you get very little opportunity to actually study it. I've been the same way for the past few years, acknowledging that IL exists, and just like that ugly friend, I don't actually acknowledge there...

What I've learned from bloggin'
I know, 2 whole blog posts in 1 week, i'm going nuts! Actually i'm trying to ramp up my blogging frequency, so keep an eye out for a few more tech in 5 min and other sheeeet. If you would have asked me a little more than a year ago if i'd have a (psudo) active blogging habit, I would have laughed it off as something I "Should" do and dropped it. So I still find it a little hard to believe that i've been at this for as long as I have. Now, while most bloggers seem to make a post in this vein targeted...

Board Games and the Software Developer
For a developer, the worst thing that can happen is to have the mind dulled. This dulling can occur from a number of places. Like too much heroin or watching reality TV. So how would a developer keep his mind sharp and be entertained at the same time? Flashy lights and bright colors only go so far. The way I’ve discovered is some good ol' challenging board games. Makes sense, most developers are gamers at heart. And I’m not talking about just your standard fair of Stratego and Monopoly, but European...

Good Times
Well, that time of the year has come and gone again. By that I mean Code mash. I didn’t get a chance to make it to codemash this year, but waking up to find 76 twitterings on my phone (Over half were most likely Dwitters -Drunken Twittering-) is a clear indication that it was both a fun and exciting time for all who attended. In other news, apparently my blog posts (the most recent one about the '=>' specifically) was the issue of some conversations at code mash. And in the process I managed to...

New terminology for the Blog-o-sphere
You ever dealt with some ass, where you just felt like applying a title? Well, I sure as hell do. So I have a point of reference, here are some terms you'll see me using occasionally. Software Arsonist: Someone who pushes software out the door so fast that it's bug ridden and prone to fire (see Dry Software). Once the software is under intense fire fighting, the Software Arsonist will delegate others to put the fires out, while they send out massive amounts of email showing how much value they are...

Workin' the corner at DoDN
So I survived my first presentation experience!! WooT!!. The Fall DoDN this year was amazing. There was alot of amazing talent present. If you have the opprtunity to catch Josh Holmes giving his "Distilling the DLR" Talk, I would highly recomend it. Lots o' good sheet. My talk started out as expected. I could'nt figure out how to work my comptuer so there was, all around my laptop, Jason Follas, John Hopkins, myself and a hand full of other onlookers. We finally figured out that ... Oh, Dave needs...
