Pushing the envelope

Thank goodness for Radio's blog by mail functionality. Otherwise I'd be risking serious withdrawal. I'm also going to look incredibly prolific when all the posts arrive at once!

James Strachan has put up a link to me, cool! Returning the favour, you can find his current blog here, and his new one here. I'll add a link to my luminary list once my technical tribulations have been resolved.

By bizarre coincidence, as I was writing my last post, my Visual Studio .NET trial DVD arrived. Must resist...

On a more Java note, Sourceforge have approved my ViewBeans project. Expect plenty of inaction on that one imminently. Really, really need to sort out my new machine. The commitments are just piling up.

First off, this is being written on tuesday morning - there may be a delay before it appears on the site due to an unfortunate confluence involving a new pc, a missing keyboard and a broken network card. Sigh.

Upon skimming my last few posts, there does seem to be a preponderance of .NET related stuff. Russell Beattie made the point best. Very funny!

It appears I may be suffering from shiny new toy syndrome. Always a danger when there are so many toys to choose from. I plan to put together a more detailed piece on .NET / C# vs. Java in the near future, and I promise I'll say bad things about it! C#'s inheritance mechanism for example. Its just wierd.
