If you’re not smart enough to program, don’t write a programming guide
I can’t believe this. Simply amazing. I really can’t. I’m not even sure this is good enough to fall under my usual “Awesome Software Discovery” banner. So I work at a place where we use Ruby and Perl a lot, … Continue reading
AutoIt fans rejoice! New version of myAutToExe available!
As I previously mentioned, I like AutoIT a great deal, but I like decompiling other people’s stuff even better. Just a couple days ago, the genius who brought us the only 3.2.6 decompiler released a new version, 2.2. I haven’t … Continue reading
Wait, are you saying those thieves aren’t destroying the world after all?
I’m a huge fan of Stardock. They kick ass hands down. Galactic Civilizations II, especially with the expansions Dark Avatar and the still-in-beta Twilight of the Arnor, blows away other 4x games that exist today. Civ 4 is so far … Continue reading
Another reason Perl is crappy. Really crappy. REALLY REALLY crappy.
I’ve been using Perl professionally for about four years now. I never really loved the language, but I certainly didn’t hate it quite so much before this job. There are many obvious reasons to hate Perl: * The hacked-in OOP … Continue reading
Network Solutions SUED for front running!
Just a brief follow-up to my last post – looks like those bastards are getting sued for being such pieces of sh*t. SWEET. I only hope that justice can be served in an appropriate and fair way. For instance, the … Continue reading
Network Solutions’ domain name front running – the monopoly that wouldn’t die

AutoIt Decompiler for v3.2.6+
I’m a huge fan of AutoIt – I think the program is a wonderful tool for administrators as well as casual programmers who just like to mess with stuff. However, I recently discovered that the developer of AutoIt, in an … Continue reading
ActionScript 3.0 (AS3) ToolTip for Flash 9 (CS3) programmers!
I’m learning Flash right now. My next few games are going to be built in Flash in order to help me learn, and then hopefully build a nice PBBG using Flash and a dedicated C++ based network server. Should be … Continue reading
Nerdmaster does something useful…
No, children, this isn’t the unbelievable (and fictitious) story of a bad little nerd who finally finds redemption via some amazingly-selfless act. This is, instead, the true story of me, the very selfish nerd who offers something useful to the … Continue reading

Sloccount’s sloppy slant – or – how to manipulate programming projects the Wheeler Way
Sloccount is my newest Awesome Software Discovery. It’s a great idea, but is far too simple to do what it claims: estimate effort and expense of a product based on lines of code. And really, I wouldn’t expect it to … Continue reading
