I started programming when I was 7 while sitting on my father's lap, typing BASIC into a TRS-80 CoCo as he read out the instructions from magazines.Currently working at Cactus Commerce on the Commerce Server product team.
YOW! 2011: Damian Conway - Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming Made Easy
Jan 25, 2012 at 12:09 PMThis YOW! 2011 keynote is now available: Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine.
Announcing Visual Studio Achievements Beta
Jan 18, 2012 at 9:43 PMCool!
Brian Beckman: Hidden Markov Models, Viterbi Algorithm, LINQ, Rx and Higgs Boson
Jan 10, 2012 at 8:24 AMHi Brian, you said you had some problems with generic operators ... there's a library here (a friend of mine just told me about it) that you may find useful in the future: http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/miscutil/usage/genericoperators.html
TWC9: The Top 9 Developer Stories & Trends of 2011
Jan 06, 2012 at 12:14 PMYup, serious ... but I did try rewinding the video and getting it to happen twice but couldn't duplicate it. It happens occasionally to me while watching TV or anything talking about the XBox.
New feature: your own personal video queue
Jan 04, 2012 at 7:26 AMGreat!

Dec 31, 2011 at 11:00 AMAwesome! My internet has been intermittent for 4 days, and was out completely for 2 ... now I finally have access again (hopefully not intermittent) and have to catch up on all these awesome Christmas presents ... thanks Charles and Brian!
TWC9: The Top 9 Developer Stories & Trends of 2011
Dec 24, 2011 at 4:05 PMBrian, you activated my Kinect and launched Zune Marketplace by talking about the Kinect dashboard updates.
That's my only major concern with it ... there should be a way to disable/enable voice from the dashboard using gestures, or even a more specific voice command combination.
YOW! 2011: Joe Albahari - LINQ, LINQPad, and .NET Async (and a little Rx, too)
Dec 23, 2011 at 12:55 PMIt's great to hear from Joseph ... LINQPad is one of my favorite tools, and the premium version is well worth it. I use it as much as I use Visual Studio for all those things that VS is too heavyweight for. I write a function and test it in LINQPad before I consider adding it to a project some place in VS. It's like a brainstorming tool, because it just takes so much less time to use than VS. So, I hope that it stays light weight and responsive and it sounds like it will as new features rely on asynchrony features of C# 5.
Roslyn will certainly be a game changer for this kind of application. I was wondering if and when you'd ask about that Charles ... you left it until the end, and I was biting my tongue the whole time waiting to post, "why didn't you ask about Roslyn?".
Joseph did mention that it will make things simpler for him, but it will afford more opportunity for competitors to develop IDEs.
YOW! 2011: Damian Conway - Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming Made Easy
Dec 20, 2011 at 12:00 PMI lol'd at the title ... but I can't wait to see the keynote. Any talk that combines programming with quantum physics suits me just fine.
I'll be looking for the keynote. Ah look, here's an older version of the talk. I've just watched it and it's mind blowing.
I'm thinking Roslyn + Rx virtual time + QM + GR + Rod Logic now. 
SPLASH 2011: William Cook - Objects, Orc, Hybrid Partial Evaluation, and More

I am reading through the Enso blog .. very interesting! Batches too ... very good.
