Month: January 2016

Oldest son is now married. Woot. 

Waiting in the rain for our guide to the Aranui cave. Hope they get here soon. Jack is impatient. 

Had a great time trekking this morning.  David was our guide. There was just the 3 of us. Jack was on Coffee, Erin on Stacie, I was on Kodi and David lead the way on Blondie. Nice paced rude throw native bush and along cut trails. Thanks David. 

…just broke for us. We need a newer video card as the drivers do not support some bit of Open GL. I can play many new Steam games on the same card. What gives?

Yesterday I was making a new class for a project. It needed to centre some text within a circle.

How many times have I done that?

1992 Uni project. Vector drawing system. In C++ with BGI and Turbo Vision.

1993 First job. C++ using MFC. 

1994 Similar to above but C and raw GDI. 

1999 More complex text flow into shapes. Included hyphenation and many lines of text. 

2002 Similar to above but new project so now C# and GDI+

2016 Very simple layout for a charting thing.

The methods are the same for all of them.  All one Windows. The code I wrote in 1993 is probably about the same as the stuff I did yesterday. The Windows SDK and API is so stable. 

Binge watching a series is a real problem. Watched 16 episodes of Brooklyn 99 yesterday (and the early hours of today)

A bit tired this morning 😀

Watch it. It’s really good. No spoilers, but you will know the characters.

I like a rainy Sunday. Good thing really as it is rainy and Sunday.

Waiting for the special showing to start.
