If Miguel de Icaza Did Not Exist, We Would Have To Invent Him

I said so to Miguel tonight, and I’ll say so to you, too. The man never ceases to amaze me.
A couple days ago, Miguel blogged about the Interactive C# Shell, a piece of minor awesome–a read-eval-print shell for C#, using chunks of Mono’s gmcs compiler. Not a lot of use to me, but very cool [...]

Not a lot to say here, aside from offering a link to C.J. Adams-Collier’s blog. These guys, they are nuts.

Paging Dr. Frankenstein…

This is an old post from my previous Joomla!-powered site; sorry for the retread.

So I’ve Got A Summer Project…

This is an old post from my previous Joomla!-powered site; sorry for the retread.
