Over the last couple of weeks the DNS timeouts and lags I’ve been experiencing at home have made the web experience a little dire. My ISP is actually pretty darned good, but for some reason they seem to have glitches with their DNS servers every now and then.
The code-base that I am currently working with consists of a large set of binaries that are all signed. The savvy .NET devs out there will know that any assembly that’s used/referenced by a signed assembly must also be signed.
This is an issue when dealing with third-party libraries that are not signed. Sometimes you’ll be [...]
It has taken me a bit longer than expected, but I’ve finally got the screencast up!
That’s right folks, my angelic voice is now online for you all to experience. 8 minutes of Unity Build glory!
Here’s another reason why I find Google Reader a excellent choice for reading your RSS feeds.

Help!!I need somebody…Help!Not just any body…Help!You know I need someone…HEEEELP!
I have lost count of the times I’ve heard this (and not just when playing The Beatles). In fact, to be honest, I never kept count, but I know it’s a lot.
On a daily basis I lose a fair bit of time helping my workmates. I [...]
While at work today I hit a problem that I’ve never hit before (which is quite rare these days ), and while it was frustrating it was also good to learn about something that I never knew was a problem. If you’re having some issues marshalling double-precision floating-point information through managed components to unmanaged [...]
Welcome to the next in the series of posts on program shortcuts. This time round we’re talking Visual Studio. I’ll be assuming that you don’t have the ViEmu plugin enabled and that you’re just using the IDE in the way it was intended without any other form of shortcut-based plugin installed.
