Almost 7 years ago I quit Microsoft mid career to go out on my own with the hope of writing games. Its been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid but once of those things that I never really got round to doing. Since 2005 I've had many different...

Its been a while since I updated you about my running shenanigans (and for the record only Mr Clingerman actual ran the 5k with me and finished - though he did look a little green at the end). After my double marathon at the end of 2010 (hmmmmm I never...

Since I occasionally need to test XNA networking with more than 1 gold account I upgraded to a family plan last year. Worked out great! J can have her own gold account and I can have 4 'testers' if I need. All for the cost of just 2 accounts....

Its Wednesday night - I should be in the pub happy with a couple of pints and laughing at how badly we've done at pub quiz. But Wednesday nights are not going to be the same any more. Instead I'm sitting and home looking at pictures of a good...

As I investigated the various cloud service offerings from Google and Microsoft I discovered that I was wrong. Microsoft will let you host your domain stuff on live.com - see https://domains.live.com/default.aspx Just like google you can also link subdomains...

So I got my windows phone. I had access to some early units and read a lot so I knew I was going to be pretty happy... and I am. I really like the people hub - with a few clicks it bought in my facebook people and my live messenger people. Where people...

I know, I know I've been all quiet of late. The news from the ZMan is that I started a new job at the end of last year that involves me going out of the house and working in an office during the daytime. Its messed with our schedules a lot and only...

Back in the days when I worried about the lack of documentation in Managed DirectX I met a guy called Jason Olson who worked at Microsoft and was also interested in Managed DirectX and blogged about it at 'Managed World ' - some of you old timers...

Christmas eve, J is busy making me a birthday cake and I finally have time to blog about my double marathon. But before Christmas starts and I have to be nice to everyone I need to rant about KMart and their terrible online service. At J's office...

Another running blog post.... move along if that sort of thing bores you. There are less than 5 days to go before my next crazy run. 2 marathons in 2 days. Saturday 26th I run the Ghost of Seattle and Sunday 27th I run the actual Seattle marathon . The...

Well its done.. I am now signed up to run a double marathon at the end of November which will make me more of a maniac . I had a little leg relapse after my previous announcement. My calf muscle decided that it had not had enough rest after the 50 miler...

One would think that being able to run 50 miles would also mean being fit, thin and healthy - well lets check off just the 1st one there. Last doctor checkup I was very happy to find after 4 years of running my 'good' cholesterol was finally reflecting...

I'm a fan of Alaska Air (other than their useless customer support but that's a problem with most CS these days) for most of my flying. In general my opinion of airlines is that they are all in a race to $0 fares with everything else charged in...

52.4 in 2 days. Its been a while since I qualified for Marathon Maniacs by running 3 in 3 months so its about time I graduated to the next level of insane. Running a 50 miler doesn't count because this is a club based around running lots of marathons...

A couple of weeks ago inspired by George and Chris's efforts I asked everyone some questions about writing a book and got a ton of good feedback . Man everyone was so nice... its always a boost to the ego that even though I let http://thezbuffer.com...
