The Game Room: January 2010
http://sydbolton.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Video games, life, musings and thoughts! Friday, January 29, 2010. So I finally did it.after whining about getting a custom license plate for my car I took the plunge and here it is! PCMUSEUM is exactly what I wanted and now that Ontario offers 8 digit plates I was good to go! Of course, I had to accessorize it with a "WILL WORK FOR BANDWIDTH" plate holder that I picked up from ThinkGeek.com. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Auto Incrementing with InfoPath. I wanted my repeating table to look like this:. You c...

The Game Room: April 2011
http://sydbolton.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Video games, life, musings and thoughts! Monday, April 18, 2011. I am sure this doesn't really belong in the "Game Room" but I've talked about random stuff before and so today is no exception. I have to tell you, I'm a little concerned about the cashier's at the grocery store. There needs to be some changes - albeit minor ones - if I'm going to get through the checkout without feeling somewhat angry. You might be thinking "hey why not use self checkout and avoid this whole problem? Don't get me wrong - I...

The Game Room: August 2009
http://sydbolton.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Video games, life, musings and thoughts! Sunday, August 16, 2009. Getting Ready for the Competition. The Guitar Hero Competition is next weekend. I'm starting to feel the pressure pretty badly as I get prepared for what is definitely going to be Brantford's largest gaming event of its type - ever. In a lot of ways, it's actually more stressful than running a Guinness World Record challenge like we did last year with Tetris. But in other ways it is not. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Game Room: March 2010
http://sydbolton.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Video games, life, musings and thoughts! Friday, March 19, 2010. I know I usually write about video games in this space, but today I just had to add my thoughts about games of a different sort - the Olympic Games. A recent article in the Star-Telegram. Having dealt with Americans my whole life I can tell you that like anything, there are exceptions to the rule. By and large though, most Americans I've dealt with don't seem to understand Canada except in the most stereotypical ways. We don't all l...I jus...

The Game Room: July 2009
http://sydbolton.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Video games, life, musings and thoughts! Monday, July 13, 2009. First of all - the news. It looks like I'm signing back on with Rogers Television after a bit of a hiatus. Yeah, sure, I do the JCI Brantford Santa Claus Parade. Every year but other than an occasional appearance on First Local, I really haven't been around much. That is all going to change in September. Then, you'll also see me weekly doing a video game segment on First Local which is going to be a lot of fun! Thursday, July 09, 2009. When ...

SteveX Compiled » Making a Windows Forms App Respond to System Shutdown
http://blog.stevex.net/making-a-windows-forms-app-respond-to-system-shutdown
Try out my new app: MealPlan. A simple weekly meal planning tool for the iPad. Making a Windows Forms App Respond to System Shutdown. This is how MSN Messenger works, for example, and many other applications. The problem here is that when Windows wants to shut down, it sends you the close message, but it looks exactly the same as when the Close button is clicked by the user. You hide your window, you don’t quit, and the system doesn’t shut down. So here’s what I ended up using:. Watch for WM QUERYENDSESS...

SteveX Compiled » String Formatting in C#
http://blog.stevex.net/index.php/string-formatting-in-csharp
Try out my new app: MealPlan. A simple weekly meal planning tool for the iPad. String Formatting in C#. I couldn’t find a quick reference to .NET string formatting using the String.Format() function, so I created this one (which has also spawned this String Formatting FAQ. Sprintf(szError, “Error %d occurred. n”, nError);. Str “Error ” nError ” occurred.” endl;. Or something close to that. It’s type-safe, and more OO than sprintf, but not as easy to read and not as easy to localize. The NET framework han...
