Here. Shawn Van Ness sent me a *fabulous* story of what would happen if Richard Feynman interviewed at Microsoft which sums up nicely what drives me to keep the page going in the first place. : )

Here. "Longhorn is now considered a major Windows release by Microsoft, and early alpha builds are now testing at the company's Redmond campus. Last month, some of those builds leaked to the Internet, causing a stir in the Windows enthusiast community. I take a look at one of those builds here."

Stu Halloway, conference speaker, respected author of Component Development for the Java Platform as well as many 5-day short courses and CTO of DevelopMentor, pronounces his name like this (I found it hard to believe myself…)

Here. A little essay on the WinForms Validating event.

Here. That cool auto-scaling that WinForms does when moving between system font settings baffled me 'til I sat down to really understand it.

Here. "Chris Sells discusses permissions in .NET and how you can adapt the object model to protect smart clients while allowing well-known assemblies or sites to have additional permissions to provide users with additional services."

Here. Actually, I think you probably should watch it. I find VBTV very amusing. : )

Here. From Hun Boon Teo: "The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the Common Language Runtime (CLR) are bytecode-based abstract stack machines. Since modern implementations include highly optimizing just-in-time (JIT) compilers, these machines are excellent targets for runtime code generation: the generation of new program code just prior to its execution."
