What's everyone working on?

While reading John's diatribes I just realised I have no idea what anyone's working on anymore. We have John Simmons doing WxF, Rex is into secret societies and I haven't done VBScript in ages. It's crazy. So how about a quick update so I can catch up?

As well as the usual customer support, site maintenance and playing-at-marketing (I'm not good enough at it that I can claim to actually do marketing) stuff, at the moment most of my focus is on polishing the integration between our Visual Lint[^] product (now quite well established - we even have a customer in Christian's backyard) and Xoreax IncrediBuild[^] (we use the IB external interfaces to accelerate PC-Lint analysis runs). It's an interesting exercise in juggling thread prioritisation and performance, given the potentially large volume of data we may have to post-process as it comes back from the grid. * * One of our beta testers has a grid of 50 quad core machines. That is what I call fast, and it throws data back at us at a truly terrifying rate.... Beth's currently tearing the Visual Studio 2010 CTP to pieces looking for funnies which are likely to bite us when we start supporting (and possibly building on) that platform. As they've changed the project file format in a big way for C++ this time (.vcproj becomes .vcxproj for MSBuild compatibility) it's proving to be an interesting one, to say the least. Hopefully it won't turn out to be the trainwreck that the VS2005 RTM was...

I still do 3D graphics, physics, and computation for the military. I am not well known, but I am always well received, and I am known, that is odd for this region. I work on the side doing... well, 3D graphics, C# oddities (remote control of user interfaces from 1/2 around the globe) and infinitely dense graphs in real-time (only limit is memory -- in my industry, that is not much of a limit). I also do R&D on next gen 3D and high performance computing on the GPU, as well as massively parallel architectures.

What a tush biter. I'm programming with an abacus and damn proud of it. It's all part of a "Chuck Norris Extreme Programming Week" that's being promoted at work. Well for me, at least.

come on.... Where I am at secret items don't exist. so I can talk loosely about non-secret items... or at least about anything already publicly available and there are two articles about my work (3 if you count an army newspaper) so I can discuss anything already mentioned. Since no secret work exists, I don't do any secret work. :) makes it easy.

Damn. So I'm going to be "interrogated" by Jack Bauer.

It looks cumbersome. They forgot about one thing: while I am typing a letter my other finger(s) are already on the way to the next one. That Apple fan sums it up perfectly "I will buy anything if it is shiny and made by Apple". I think I will wait for the Swype. Slightly OT: Windows 7 is blindingly FAST!!!

Windows 7 is only blindingly fast because it hasn't had any time to pick up any malware yet.

The design and backend of a website/blog for women entrepreneurs...Check it out if you like www.msceoshow.com It looks like TCP members might be slightly lopsided in the gender area :) But much of the site's info is quite neutral.

:laugh: Yeah that's true. Although my PC is malware free, or at least I think it is.

Too ahead of my times. Stuck with VB6.
The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures." जय हिंद
VB6 mainly for me as well, maintaining a suite of distributed apps started 10 years ago. Trying to get a handle on WPF and .NET in my spare time. Oh, and spent the last 2 days getting Ubuntu 8.10 running under Virtual PC 07. Gotta have some fun sometimes!
