And Now For Something Slightly Different







And Now For Something Slightly Different

And Now For Something Slightly Different 12/17/2004 06:27 PM

Enter practically any electronics store and you're likely to find a digital music player from Apple. It's called the iPod and it weighs only a few ounces, but to its competitors it's the 800-pound white gorilla. By Michel Marriott, New York Times

Slightly worried now


Slightly worried now 08/31/2004 11:52 AM
OK... So I managed today to fix all the things that cropped up today, and I have a huge backlog of things that occurred over the weekend, or during my trip to Oulu, or during my vacation. I got to the point where I was receiving more email than I could handle - the inbox was growing faster than I was emptying it - and I was doing nothing but reading email. I even had to tell people off because I was so busy doing things that I apparently should've done during my vacation (yeah, right) - and I try and never do that.

Not good. I see exhaustion ahead, approaching rapidly. I'm feeling good and energetic after the holidays, but at this rate I'll be dead by November.

(There's a big downside to working within the office hours: people see you and wander over to talk to you about pressing matters. And your work flow is interrupted. If you work outside the office hours, or from home - not that many interruptions. Perhaps I should just stay home for a couple of days, just to get some work done. *grin*)

Continuations, slightly updated


Continuations, slightly updated 04/14/2005 10:34 AM
Frankly, I’m surprised how much interest Continuations for Curmudgeons generated.  I guess that there was a demand for an explanation from the perspective of a C programmer, eh? Based on two bugs reported in one section, I’ve updated it to reflect that what is being described there is actually a closure, not a continuation.  I’ve also added a section showing how classes are simply a special case of closures.
