Hardcode

I encountered recently some mysterious warnings and errors like this one:

    warning CS0436: The type ....  in 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\oracolulmeu\cf1bfaaa\35ba772f\App_Web_k81qkzp9.5.cs' conflicts with the imported type ... in 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\oracolulmeu\cf1bfaaa\35ba772f\App_Code.qui8lpjl.dll'. Using the one in 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\oracolulmeu\cf1bfaaa\35ba772f\App_Web_k81qkzp9.5.cs'

.. I don't remember the alternate one but it was similar, now, if you happen to see this check your code for the following objects having the same name: master pages, aspx pages, controls (ascx), datasets etc and simply rename of those so all class names are different.
 

Internet Explorer 7 has PNG gamma correction and it may be the most correct browser when it comes to this however it breaks your entire design, now seriously, who cares about correct rendering of PNGs with gamma information ? Anyway, you can always remove the gamma information chunk using something like TweakPng.

Mihai Patrascu's mini-course at the University of Bucharest, on Thursday (more details here).

Adobe's offices are really cool, they have a pool table, table tennis and even have a Wii with a huge projector, too bad the projector was used for the slides. You can see here what were the presentations, some where interesting, well, I don't know Ruby so this was a big reason to stay attentive. I had the chance to discuss a bit with Vivi, Adrian Spinei and Alex Brie, however overall the meeting was much less social than the past editions 3 and 4.

Really cool paper, I found out some interesting models of social networks like the voter model and the threshold network. Written by a Googler and a Microsoft employee.

I recently met the guy that made these - amazing!

We've just launched the product that has been in development for a few months, it's a Joost widget to enable subtitles for Joost  (the most requested feature as I know) - we hope thus to improve the accessibility of Joost shows.
