Ah, sweet sweet nostalgia! The fine folk over at b3ta.co.uk teamed up with MJ Hibbett & The Validators to come up with a brilliant piece of flash that brings back so very many memories from the days of tape-loading games and Commodore PETs. Ah.. those were the days…

My wonderful and amazing girlfriend now has a blog, over @ www.mandalei.com. If you have any interest in things Latin (the really old language, not the current culture) or the Greek / Roman world, or archaeology, or just random fun, be sure to check her out!
I just released version 6 of HttpCompress. This version includes some wonderfully more intelligent logic for determining when to write the headers that indicate that the response was compressed. As a result, Server.Transfer and the default exception reporting page in ASP.NET both work out of the box, though their responses are not compressed.
If you do .NET development, sometimes you have to drop down to the Win32 API to do your dirty work. One fun and exciting task when you have to do that is creating the PInvoke signature, which is fraught with peril. Thankfully, today I discovered pinvoke.net, a community site based around a wiki, which contains PInvoke signatures and associated gotchas. Truly a fantastic site for folks that have to do this kind of work, and it’s run by Adam Nathan, one of the bigger heads on the whole subject. Definitely a must see for any .NET dev.
