Got some awesome news this morning before I left home, something that is going to be life changing for me…
Maybe in the next month or so there is going to be a big announcement made.
Wonder if anybody can guess what the announcement is going to be 
YouTube is just EVIL !!!
Hello Everybody, I’m a YouTube addict.
Not one day has gone by that I’ve not visited YouTube in the last month. When at work I at least watch 1 video per day when taking a break or waiting for something to process.
When at home a 3gig cap on ADSL runs out over 2 weekends when watching music videos and clips from old TV shows.
With the price of bandwidth in SA I reckon people watching video, streaming radio channels and surfing social networks is costing individual companies thousands of rands each month of productivity.
BUT all-n-all still the best entertainment(almost) on the net.
What a week !
Been working on 2 Radical projects in parallel, and also quickly threw a C# app(very small app) together and learning C# syntax in the process as well.
This week I quickly had to throw a small application that performs basic Office automation like “Mail Merging” and opening email clients and adding attachments.
The standard in the office is to use C#, and the only thing that I have experience with that comes close to that is Java.
First day was quite hard just getting to know how C# works and functions but after I found how easy it is to quickly include COM object etc. it was a breeze.
Begin used to PHP, which is VERY loose. C#(or Java for that matter) is very structured and you have to cast etc. variables to get the write output at the end of the day. After getting myself into the “structured” mode it was a breeze.
The first major hurdle was to write a application that will word with Microsoft Office 2000 - 2007, which is not possible(or that is according to my research and resources) with one COM include. The next best solution I found was using late binding, and this just looked like a too much of a problem as the time was limited, so I just created 3 apps, each one including the correct COM reference .
All n all I’m very impressed with C# and will definitely be playing around much more in the future.
Coming from basically open source background, I still need to get the dev guys to get Subversion running and not SourceSafe….:-(
Was listening to some MP3’s and found this old CD(which I own) I ripped long-looooong ago.
It was the soundtracks of “Little shop of horrors”, so I quickly went to Youtube to see if there is any cool clips there, and I did find quite a few.
Here is my favourite with Steve Martin as the “Dentist”. — check out the scene where he comes out of the cupboard, just cracks me up.
