Sunday, October 19, 2008 at 06:01PM On Wednesday the 22nd of October I'm taking a bus down to Black Marble to attend one of their developer events. If you are interested in game development, or just want to see what happens at a professional event, you can find out more here.
Travel Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 04:24PM Students lucky enough to come to Hull get a free copy of my C# programming book (this year in a snazzy yellow cover). If you come to see us on an Open Day we will also give you a printed copy. Until recently the only way to get sight of the book was to come to Hull and get one.
However, that has now changed, you can now download a PDF of the book from http://www.robmiles.com/c-yellow-book/.
Please let me know what you think.
Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 05:12PM I did something today I've not done for a while. I bought a Mad Magazine. I've been buying Mad on and off for over forty years (gosh, that does make me sound old) and it has always been good for a laugh. The magazine I got a while back wasn't that funny, and seemed to be packed with dodgy lifestyle stuff and advertisements, but the latest one seems to be a return to old style satire and gross out humour.
Just right for me then.
I particularly liked this book advert, part of a solid swipe at the Staples office supplies catalogue.
Indeed.
