Just Married!

Tweet

I got married early last month, to the woman I’ve been looking for all my life. Her name is Khyati, and we used to work together when I first moved to Mumbai. Here’s an excerpt from my wedding website about her: “It’s almost two years ago I came to Mumbai, with a few [...]

Markup extensions in Xoml

Tweet

One of the features I spent a lot of time thinking about, and implementing are: “deferred” ProvideValue calls on MarkupExtensions. In a XAML markup extension, ProvideValue is called when the tree is being loaded, and sometimes, it may be impossible to provide a value at that time. Also, since XAML makes use of [...]

XOML on CodePlex

Tweet

I’ve had the XOML project registered on CodePlex since my last post, but it is now published. An early 0.1 pre-release version is also available. This version allows you to load hand-written Xoml, although XomlWriter isn’t far behind.

To get stared with Xoml, the unit tests are probably the best place to start [...]

Comments working now

Tweet

Marcus Wilhelm kindly brought to my attention that the comments system wasn’t working due to a faulty spam protection plug-in I’d activated. My bad. It’s fixed now, and I’ve just started using WP Captcha-Free instead of the old plug-in, let’s see how it turns out. It seems you’ll need JavaScript enabled to comment, [...]

Identity transforms (obviously!) Simple arithmetic operations (supported operators are +, -, * and /. One function call (at the [...]

SlimDX

Tweet

I just found out about SlimDX, and I think this is perhaps the best news I’ve gotten in a long time. DirectX from Managed code was a god-awful mess, what with MDX 1.1 being frozen and MDX 2.0 thrown out the window. Xna was never really the successor to MDX because it was [...]

Adding references to Xna

Tweet

Adding a reference to XNA isn’t as simple as it appears, it would seem. According to Stephen Stryrchak (full thread here),

“Unfortunately, it’s not that straightforward. The (XNA) redist installs the runtime as a runtime, not as an SDK. The Add Reference dialog doesn’t enumerate assemblies from the GAC, which is where the [...]

How would you change Windows Vista?

Tweet

A friend gave me this link … and I took out the time to write my own comment here. Now that I think about it, it IS an interesting topic. I’ll keep updating a wishlist as I come across new things I need/want in Vista.

First blog entry

Tweet

This is my first blog entry on this new subdomain. After all that spam trouble with the SimplePHP blog I’d set up for Brahma, I’ve now moved to WordPress. I’ll be moving all my blogging here, and set up only a dedicated site for Brahma, as well as my homepage. Stay tuned!
