  1. Rhapsody.exe is listening on around 5000 different UDP ports, some of them multiple times. Bizarre. 3:50 PM Nov 23rd from web
  2. The encyclopedia brown parody in today's woot description is amazing. http://www.woot.com/Blog/Vi... 10:59 PM Nov 22nd from web
  3. Staring at the updater's multiple (?!) progress bars every time I pop in a new game has quickly destroyed the PS3's appeal for me. So dumb. 10:53 PM Nov 22nd from Tweed
  4. Naturally AC2 ends with a prolongued 'mess up once and you get to start over' stealth segment in narrow hallways. Sigh. 1:21 AM Nov 22nd from web
  5. Also not fun: "Context sensitive" controls that make your character randomly dive off ledges. No worries, I'll climb up again! 9:04 PM Nov 21st from web
  6. I'd think level designers would realize that adding a series of precise jumps that you have to retry over and over doesn't make a level fun. 9:02 PM Nov 21st from web
  7. JavaScript and the DOM never fail to make useless behavior the default behavior. 'for each' iterating over props like length = dumb. 3:40 PM Nov 20th from web
  8. Quite pleased with Assassin's Creed 2. Better use of my money than Modern Warfare 2, but we'll see if the fun lasts as long as Dragon Age. 9:35 AM Nov 19th from Tweed
  9. Doing a ClickOnce 'Publish' of an 'Online' application spits out a setup.exe that... doesn't install anything. Super useful! 2:04 PM Nov 17th from web
  10. Was trying to figure out why one explorer window had TortoiseSVN context menus and one didn't. The answer: 32-bit, 64-bit. RETARDED 1:38 PM Nov 17th from web
  11. @ivanassen any time I see a UI thread block on IO it makes me want to roll up a newspaper and start whacking lazy programmers. 1:10 PM Nov 17th from Tweed in reply to ivanassen
  12. My favorite example of stupid: "The default Y axis scale is used, so the values on the axis do not show the actual data values." 1:49 PM Nov 16th from web
  13. The Google chart API has some of the stupidest defaults I've ever seen. Despite this it is still convenient and awesome to use. 1:49 PM Nov 16th from web
  14. Brilliant: RT @jmoledina: is thrilled that the IGDA is launching a healthcare plan, the IGDA HP! http://bit.ly/WmXFs 8:56 AM Nov 16th from Tweed
  15. Well, at least MW2 gets better after the favela and airport levels. Way too short, though, and the plot is just ridiculous. 10:36 AM Nov 15th from web
  16. Modern Warfare 2's Favela level is the worst level design disaster I've ever seen. Impossible to navigate maze full of monster closets. 6:20 AM Nov 15th from web
  17. @jpetrie Hopefully the advent of Task will encourage them to just expose the asynchronous work. 1:09 PM Nov 9th from web in reply to jpetrie
  18. Finally got Aion installed on my work machine. Only took 4 complete reinstalls. Good work, PlayNC launcher! 10:24 AM Nov 9th from web
  19. @jwatte Congrats! Must be nice working with Brett again. 10:16 AM Nov 9th from web in reply to jwatte
  20. I love how Dragon Age decides to randomly stop running my AI tactics without warning. Whoops, dead party! 10:31 PM Nov 8th from web
