I see one of my vendors has decided to use me as a pawn in their marketing juggernaut.
I’m glad, these guys make really good components. Their streaming compression library kicks total butt, I used it to pack data that gets transferred from a point-of-service device to a master device, and I get consistent compression [...]

new layout changes

Right now I’m experimenting with new website layouts.

So I’m working at home yesterday, using the Visual Studio 6.0 VB debugger, plugging away at some code, and I start the debugger so I can walk through some buggy code that I wrote. I get this message:
I’m like whhhaaaaaaaaa? Never seen it before. And I only get it when I try [...]

The Perl Whirl is a yearly cruise for seasoned Perl coders. You basically get on a luxury cruise ship, and attend seminars on Perl all week. Some of the keynote speakers are pretty cool, including the infamous Larry Wall, inventor of Perl. Yeah it’s dorky, but I wanna go really bad! [...]
