Due to various exigencies, my desktop got loaned out. In other words a friend’s gaming rig died, he needed something with lots of horsepower, and didn’t have the cash to buy a replacement. So he got my desktop as a loaner.

Ubuntu Drops Mono?

The Comment Wars
To start off I’d like to make a sad announcement. Sam, my Beagle Dog, the handsome little guy who I’m holding in the picture above, who I’ve referred to as my “Editor in Chief” (he sat beside me when I wrote every article for the last four years) died in June. He was chasing a […]
Mono and Copyright
When I originally started writing this article, Miguel de Icaza was in a difficult situation. The situation has now been addressed. On his blog yesterday Miguel announced that there is now a Novell/Xamarin Partnership around Mono.
The Death Of Mono Or How To Annoy Thousands With Four Words
Mono, the Open Source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET programming environment (the Common Language Infrastructure) , has probably caused more page views, than any other programming environment.

What do the following products have in common?
Lefty said… By the way, I’m attempting to understand this: “It doesn’t matter whether Mono is any good. It doesn’t matter whether or not Mono is legal. It doesn’t matter whether or not Mono is a patent trap. What matters is that three years ago, Windows XP fucked up. Again.” Are you saying that, because […]
