Ye Olde Blog has been Ye Olde Quiet As Hell lately. What have I been up to recently, besides redesigning this blasted website yet again?

 

BooCube? Really?

That, pretty much. Very rough cut at the moment, don’t read too much into it. A few thoughts:

  1. In no manner does it connect to Twitter, or will it, ever. I did flagrantly rip off the classic Twitter “What are you doing?” question, however.
  2. I’m writing this in WPF, which is a marvelously fun technology. Prior to this I had written Windows apps in QT, FLTK, WinForms, and even good ol’ MFC/COM. I had pretty much resigned myself to unending pain each time I had to write a desktop app. (Maybe that’s what drove me to the web? Hmm)
  3. (More like a 2b) WPF is really fast to develop in. I’m pretty shocked. Once I know more about what I’m doing, I could be pretty dangerous.

I’m signing off for now, however. I managed to sneak into the Cities XL beta, and I can’t wait to give it a spin. I grabbed mine via Massively (who juuust now ran out), but you can still grab some via CVG I believe.
