— Like, Python - You can finally write python the same way you speak it!
.NET/WPF for Windows, Cocoa for Mac OS X, Gtk+ for GNOME, etc. Using anything but modern GUI frameworks is insulting to the developer, and using anything but native GUI frameworks is insulting to the user.

1983 - Bjarne Stroustrup bolts everything he’s ever heard of onto C to create C++. The resulting language is so complex that programs must be sent to the future to be compiled by the Skynet artificial intelligence. Build times suffer. Skynet’s motives for performing the service remain unclear but spokespeople from the future say “there is nothing to be concerned about, baby,” in an Austrian accented monotones. There is some speculation that Skynet is nothing more than a pretentious buffer overrun.

Neat.
Playing with C# is just so fun. Here’s what I spent the last 2 hours doing.
Getting Some Work Done?
You may have noticed that I don’t post on here a lot. I have a bit of an ‘Internet addiction’ problem, where I tend to get on to “check Facebook real quick” and then look at a clock to see that 3 hours have passed. So, I decided that I could make a little program to automate editing my hosts file whenever I feel like getting some work done.
So, today I put the finishing touches on a program I call ‘Get Some Work Done!’. Maybe now I’ll be able to move onto building something cooler.
New monospaced font on CTAN: Inconsolata
Since I’m back at college and LaTeX-ing things again, I was very excited to find this.
Inconsolata is easily the most beautiful monospaced font I’ve ever seen, and it might be my favorite font, period. (Coincidentally, I’ve just designed a theme using it.)
Naturally, I find these sort of things just days after I’ve changed my IDE to use Consolas. It may be time to change yet again.
A pig and a chicken are walking down a road. The chicken looks at the pig and says, “Hey, why don’t we open a restaurant?” The pig looks back at the chicken and says, “Good idea, what do you want to call it?” The chicken thinks about it and says, “Why don’t we call it ‘Ham and Eggs’?” “I don’t think so,” says the pig, “I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.
Sup dudes
I decided to make a blog to show off projects I’m working on, as well as share my thoughts about various programming-related things. Hopefully this blog will give me the motivation to make more use of my spare time.
