Using P4SandBox for 3 Weeks or So

I have been using P4SandBox for 3 weeks or so, and I'm pretty happy with it. The private repo is great: creating new streams(read it as branches) and switching between them are fast. (It internally uses shelving, of course) So streams almost work as branches + automatic shelving.

COM Smart Pointer in DX9/11 Renderer?

Main Article Recently I've been developing a real-time application outside the gaming industry, and I happened to implement a very thin, stateless DX9 renderer, and then ported it to DX11.

Do Your Part for the Environment, Shaw

Shaw communications is a load of bullcrap. I'm pretty sure any Shaw subscribers, whether it is cable TV, internet or digital phone, would remember that you were asked to switch to paper-free billing to save the environment.

Crazy Eye Pain & Headache = MSG Side Effects?

This morning, I woke up with some crazy eye pain, headache and nausea and I had no clue what caused it. This is my 2nd time having these symptoms. The first one was sometime last year when I had to call in sick. I usually don't have headaches.
