Justin Rudd on Spiderman: "2 thumbs up."  [Scripting News] Good news. Going to take Jonathan (who is mega pumped) at 4:40 today. Tickets already in hand. I was a huge Spiderman fan in my youth and now that JMS is writing them. I'm back on board. After Babylon 5, I read and watch every word JMS writes. Check out TopCow's Midnight Nation and Risng Stars for 2 very intelligent adult comics written by JMS.   1:59:01 PM

"Fifty five gallons of goat semen found" [Daypop Top 40] No comment. 1:17:42 PM

I'd mentioned that MC++ provides mode control over boxing and unboxing than C#. Here's an example of directly modifying boxed value types on the heap, without unboxing & reboxing them or resorting to adjustor interfaces: <a href="//">// HeapMod.cpp: cl.exe /clr HeapMod.cpp #using using namespace System; __value struct Universe { int Answer; }; void main() { Universe u; Object* po = __box(u); Universe* pu = __try_cast(po); pu->Answer = 42; Universe* pu2 = __try_cast(po); Console::WriteLine(pu2->Answer); } [Peter Drayton's Radio Weblog] Thans Peter for doing my work for me again-). I should be doing this as the author of a Managed C++ book, but there is so little time (especially when my wife wants to get my off the computer so much that she hides my keyboard! -))   8:54:33 AM

Good Morning! Saturday mornings are such a chore fr me. See, Saturday morning is weigh-in time for my Weight Watchers (I've lost 40.8 pounds in 25+ weeks). So it becomes the elobrorate ritual of weighing myself over and over and picking the lightest clothes=). This morning, I got on the scale and freaked out. I had gained back most of the 2.9 pounds I lost last week because I had ate like a shithead this week. So like last week, I jumped on the treadmill and ran - 42 minutes = 3.21 miles = 487 calories burned off. Last week, I ran for the first time in many months and I did even better this week. 8:52:53 AM
