Hey everyone, check out tiltsite.com, I’m a writer here now and you may see a couple of my posts.  I’m working on the first article right now in fact.

By the way, Microsoft Live Writer(and a lot of the Live suite of software) is very cool(using it right now for this article)

Also….I’m on the President’s Honor Roll for last semester, WOOHOO!

So I decided to write an easy to use pinging program in C++…ok so this is probably platform dependent(uses the system() method) but I said BasicPing.

So Microsoft seems to be pumping out a ton of cool new things(well this isn’t exactly new BUT IT’S NEW TO ME!) and one of these is PowerShell.

I’m working on a streamlined Vista install at the moment, but I’m going to be working more on PowerShell and see what it offers.

Microsoft Live Mesh is one of the coolest things since the glossy LCD screen.  I can’t wait for the mobile version to be rolled out.

Essentially it’s just SkyDrive meets Remote Desktop, but there are more features too.  It allows you to create sync’ed folders across machines(even add external users for collaboration purposes), remote into your PC from any ActiveX supporting web browser(I dunno why I didn’t just say “IE”), and gives you 5gb of storage space.

I’m not 100% sure what the mobile version is supposed to do, but I’m hopeful.

Microsoft is really pumping out the cool technologies lately.  Giving Google a run for their money in a heartbeat.

So I have a correction/confession on my prior comments about Java. I’m currently near the tail-end of my latest semester in college and two of my classes(one focuses on C++ and the other on Java) are pounding me down with homework at the moment.

So I have a confession, Java really isn’t that bad. On the contrary, it’s actually quite good in my opinion. What I meant by my statement is mostly because of my hatred of doing manual GUI’s in Java(I haven’t attempted them in C++). Ever since then I’ve found Visual Editor in Eclipse and the NetBeans GUI editor and both have been promising.

But as it were, more updates after I finish this->semester. This includes gaming stuffs, and more satire, projects, etc.

Also I hope I can ditch my full-time job for a part time at some point.
