Computers

Posted on June 19, 2023 by Arthur

In the last 15 years or so, I’ve gone thru my share amount of computers – initially starting with laptops – then moving back to desktop computers. As a matter of fact – since I went to Canada, I’ve used … Continue reading →

Fandro 2 (Winforms)

Posted on June 9, 2023 by Arthur

Back in 2014, I mentioned briefly that I had started on the .Net version of Fandro (see: http://www.hoogervorst.ca/arthur/?p=2743): No timelines as of yet, though, but technically, the main algorithm was finished a couple of days ago. Time permitting, I expect … Continue reading →

Fandro2

Posted on May 18, 2014 by Arthur

You heard it here first: I’ve started working on a successor to Fandro (at xsamplex), mainly because, firstly, I love diving into these kind of algorithms. Secondly, Fandro’s popularity (for an app written in the Windows XP age) surprised me. … Continue reading →

SF and other unrelated news

Posted on September 8, 2013 by Arthur

After having not used Sourceforge for over 10 years, I’ve decided to move some of my sources back to Sourceforge. The main reason for that is that SF still allows devs to distribute binaries as part of their projects. Google … Continue reading →

Ubuntu 13.04

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Arthur

Last week, I triggered the apt-distupgrade on both my Ubuntu laptops which effectively downloaded Ubuntu 13.04 (“Raring Ringtail”) to these machines. This was actually sort of unexpected as I haven’t been really following Ubuntu’s latest efforts. I’m aware of Canonical’s … Continue reading →

AMD’s

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Arthur

I‘ll be honest: I’ve always been partial to AMD’s processors after buying my very first 386 PC clone in the early 90s. I’m pretty sure the PC came with the AMD 386 DX40 processor: at that time, nobody fell for … Continue reading →

Random Christmas stuff

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Arthur

Now that vacation is sort of settling in, the following links attracted my full attention. In order of interest and heritage. I think. The Dutch language is a very ‘adopting’ language: as opposed to the French, the Dutch language allows … Continue reading →

Civilization V

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Arthur

I‘ve been playing Civilization 5 (wikipedia link) now for a while and I’m still mixed about it. If you played and loved Civ4 (Earlier here): it’s nothing like it. The game designers drastically changed several game features: First of all, … Continue reading →

Treeview and storage

Posted on October 28, 2012 by Arthur

I‘ve not written a while about programming, let alone anything about that mailing program, RoundAbout. Today’s subject is the Windows TreeView control and its data section, the TreeNodes. As you probably know, a TreeView shows data in an hierarchical way, … Continue reading →

Seagate open thyself

Posted on October 27, 2012 by Arthur

A year ago or so, I bought a 500 gig Seagate GoFlex portable harddrive. Unfortunately, I dropped it and started to have troubles with it. Initially, I thought the drive was just failing on me but upon thorough investigation I … Continue reading →
