I just had lunch with Bjarne Stroustrup

Well… me and another 250 persons or so.
For those not in the know, Bjarne Stroustrup designed and implemented the C++ language.
He is visiting National Instruments today and gave a conference. Very interesting, touching on everything from the goals and future direction of C++ and standarization processes to his opinion on Java and C#. The Q&A [...]

Don Filemon: Spokesman of a new generation?

I was recently forwarded this website by a friend: http://www.donfilemon.com.
What is Don Filemon?

But you can do other stuff, for example: you can connect [...]

Amazon sent my stuff in 2 shipments, and the first one they sent (the USB Bluetooth adapter) hasn’t gotten here yet. Go figure.

I have called T-Mobile to transfer my [...]
