"Are you a vegetarian?"
Today at work, some one pop'd there head into the office for a meeting. The manager he was supposed to meet with was just about to have lunch. The lunch was all vegetables and the co-worker ready for the meeting ask the manager "Are you a vegetarian?", The manager reply's "Yes" and then continues to say "I eat vegetables 95% of the time!". I guess its something you had to hear and see at the same time.

How To Write a 3D Game Engine
Not that I'm looking forward to do anything like this, but it should help with understanding the concepts of 3D engines.
Concepts behind the C# 3.0 language
This article is a nice introduction to the features and concepts new to C# 3.0.
New MythDora 4.0
I have an unused TV in the house, this project is going to be perfect for what I want todo. All I really care about is the new reader in myth : )

Monte Carlo Simulation Using Parallel Asynchronous Web Services with .NET 2.0
Just thought it was cool!
.NET random number generators and distributions
This could make a very nice library for testing some gaming related programs I have.
Windows firewall by Yoggie Security Systems
An Israeli startup puts out a great product. This device is cheap and runs Linux. I have not played with it my self but once its on the market I have to buy one. I think usb key type devices are going to bring a whole new way we use computers. The memory is getting large, processor are getting smaller.. Public computers must just need your usb key to boot up a system that is defined by you. You could keep your desktop settings and personal programs all on one key.

I started to watch a TV series. The IT Crowd
Another post about a movie. Disaster!
This movie is better then Team America, towards the end it gets a little old, the same thing happen with Team America. Disaster! did not make it to the US movie theaters, but it should of. Funny puns on every walk of life happens in this movie! If you look at the director list, its a bunch of Jews who have done it again! The production of a great movie.
Running Scared (2006)
The most amazing movie I have seen by far. This movie is so unique in the way events happen, transition of scenes, and plot. The craziest part is when the pedophile murderers say "We are sick and need help", that part of the movie I just cant get out of my mind. I was happy when the lady shot them both, they don't get the chance of help!!! How the hell does someone come up with this shit.. Well here is a even crazier story. I just looked up that story, some people are really fucked up in this world.
Smoking Aces Crazy Kid
See The Skillz!@!@!@ I have been watching a few movies this week. This part of Smoking Aces was crazy.

To me the best part of this reader is switching from standard, searching, and newspaper view.

Virtual Rape Is Traumatic, but Is It a Crime? Give me a break!
Who in the world would ever believe this. Virtual Rape? Are people so weak minded that text from a computer screen can be considered rape? The fear of what you can say and can not say to people is a big problem in the US, now we trying to make it a problem online. I think if people are so scared of words they might have bigger problems then "Virtual Rape", maybe they are so mentally unstable that they need physiological help. Second Life is a great idea for a game/online life... Its just sad that someone would think that there virtual world is real and treat it like one. Real Rape in the Real World is something to worry about, not silly online games where nothing is real. There digital bits that can be erased.... Not like real life where things are really embedded into a person mental health. Online life, I feel has effected people way to much, they cant tell the difference between whats happening online and whats happening in the real world.

WPF and Blend video FREE from lynda.com
I have been working with blend most every day now and there are still tons of little tricks to learn. The problem with blend is there is not enough documentation on how to use it efficiently.
C# Enumeration Cheat Sheet
Thank goodness for cheat sheets, I would of never made it out of some classes in collage with out them. They seem to also help at work : )

An Aside on the Slot Machine
Nice read on the simple combinatorics of a 3 reel single line slot machines.
DotNetNuke - A Free and Open Source Framework!!!
At last, a reason for me to run a Microsoft server for web applications. I might start on this very soon!
Fun with Attribute Based Programming – Extending Enumerations
Amazing article on using attributes in C#. Attributes can simplify some parts of generic programming tasks such as expanding enumerations like in the article above. The code for the article can be found here.
State-Driven Game Agent Design
A very good article on state machines, the code is in C++ but you can find a similar version for C# at Codecube.net.

Using LINQ to solve puzzles
The Puzzle
Here's a puzzle similar to the one in the puzzle hunt. The diagram below is a bunch of weights (A-M) hanging from a system of bars. Each weight has an integer value between 1 and 13, and the goal is to figure out what each weight must be for the the diagram below to balance correctly as shown:
|
|
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| |
| |
+--+--+--+--+--+ |
| L M |
| |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+ +--+--+--+--+--+
H | I | J K |
| | |
+--+--+--+--+--+ | +--+--+--+--+--+
E F | G |
| |
+--+--+--+--+--+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+
A B C DThe rules for this kind of puzzle are: (1) The weights on either side of a given pivot point must be equal, when weighted by the distance from the pivot, and (2) a bar hanging beneath another contributes it's total weight as through it were a single weight. For instance, the bar on the bottom right must have 5*C=D, and the one above it must have 3*G=2*(C+D).
I think there approach is way too brute force, this it seems like a little set theory mixed in with some linear algebra and recursive decent would be able to solve this problem. More on it later, if I come up with my own solution.

Sierpinski Triangle in C# with a WPF Polygon.
Simple wpf app to create a small Sierpinski Triangle... This is just a base of something I would like to create, so this is a start of using the Sierpinski Triangle. Algorithm came from the wikipedia implementation in java.

Vista and Speech Recognition
When I get Vista installed and have some extra time, I would like to create an application that can recognize what news sites I would want to read and open them in IE or firefox. This doesnt seem to hard just takes a little time.

ipsuid gets a blog!
I have been trying to get ipsuid to blog, and here it is. His hardware knowledge is amazing and he's always got a project brewing or working. It's also funny since I give him stuff I dont use any more and he turns it into something. One example was a monitor I had, I think he powers a lazor with it or something.
