Thursday, May 22nd, 2003

welp, i’m gone for memorial day weekend, and hope to get my Pocket Blog working okay again–the doggone software hasn’t been updated since september, and it doesn’t work, and guy hasn’t released the source, so….man i wish i had more hours in a day sometimes to take on a new project :)

a reason for me to see “the matrix reloaded”?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2003

While we decided not to boycott the matrix, we weren’t jumping out of our seats to check it out (i mean what else could they tell story wise–all we could imagine is more guns big whoop)–wifey & i had a nite out and checked X2 — which was as excellent a film as they make ‘em….JEAH! then i see this:

David Raynes: I am just a figment of my own imagination.

i have to respect a film that respects real computer use, particularly real Unix usage. hopefully this is a trend for future films.

To read tomorrow (or at least the article about it) — Hijacking .NET

Slashdot | Hijacking .NET

yikes. good night for now.

UPDATE 5/22/03 - okay i’m not going to buy the book just now, but i guess i don’t know enough about .NET to know whether or not it matters that you can access private members (sounds a bit dodgy sorry) — i mean, given the proper access rights, you can do this in java, and this is what you even want or need to do sometimes, this is one use of reflection. In conclusion, this sounds like much ado about nothing–unless of course there’s some security that .NET assumes is not accessible with private members (in which case that security is compromised)….

confound it, i trusted a story about microsoft anything on Slashdot again. dumb sensational headlines…although i guess in this case the book title itself is the thing that’s sensational.
