I just checked out the blog and realized it's been ~1.5 months since the last post, which is lame. I have a dilemna since I've run out of tricks/advice that I think are useful, for now at least. I can either write nothing or do something random, like Read More...

I recently wrote about the recent DCOM Remoting Addon pack being available . Since I'm running out of things to write about, I'll explain the geeky details of how the DCOM addon pack came to be. This post is for the very bored only or those who are intrigued Read More...

My "stuff to blog about" well has pretty much run dry, as anyone who follows this blog knows. Fortunately there's always a customer running into something that I've never thought about something to inspire me. Bad for the poor customer hitting the issue, Read More...

Windows CE does not support the time.h structures, as I blog about here . Fortunately Chris Tacke at OpenNETCF has created a free library to do this, which is available here , in order to make porting easier to CE. (If you're not porting code you should Read More...

MEDC is the Mobile and Embedded DevCon. The US version will by May 1-3 this year in Las Vegas. I thought about trying to sell it some in this blog, but the official site does a much better job. I went to one of these back in '04 (it had a different name Read More...

Because I've been leading off a bunch of my more recent posts on obscure subjects with "Well, probably only 5 people care about this..." I'm afraid only 5 people are reading the blog now. I hope not because this post is important. If you're a Platform Read More...

Suppose that you get a username and a password and you want to see whether it is legitimate. The telnet server as an example of this – you give it a username & password that it needs to check before letting you party on CE. It’s possible to do the Read More...

This post is another of the pretty low-level, under the hood about interprocess communication on WinCE. I considered not even posting it, but it meets my geek threshold (5 people in the world will need it sooner or later, but probably not more than 5) Read More...
