Well I have to say, I cant stand the fact that VB.Net does not allow the inheriting of Intrinsic Data Types. The fact that Microsoft decided to remove the ability to use "Fixed Length" string is extremely annoying, and it would not be so bad if one was able to inherit from the String class and just add in the functionality needed. But in Microsofts infinite wisdom they disallow the inheritance of any Intrinsic Data Types, which throws that option right out the window. So here I am stuck creating a class that needs to use a "Property" in order to achive the same functionality as a fixed length string. Such an ugly way to perform a relatively simple task. Currently I am working on tweaking a TCP Communication class I developed for Client/Server communications. Coming from a VB6 type environment, I have to say, multi-threading is amazing and also a curse...LOL
New Technology
While surfing the web, I came across an interesting article about Google. Apparently they have purchased a smalled company that developed a Web-Based Word Processor. The full article can be found here.
Fun Stuff
Today, a coworker and friend of mine showed me a little cool screensaver which I thought I would share. For any of you out there that are Matrix fans, you'll love this: Matrix Screen Saver.
About Me
Name: Tekk Guy
Country: United States
About Me: I'm that tech guy…you know the one. When things are broken, I fix them. When they don't make sense, I explain them. When nothing is getting done, I do it. When a void occurs, I fill it. When there is silence on the call, I state the necessary. I'm that guy in IT that is relied upon by the competent as the nth tier of support, overlooked by management, and despised by the slackers. An InfoTech professional, aficionado of all things technological. I've been getting my geek on full-time since 1993, and have worked with information technology in some capacity since 1997 including VB 4-6, ASP, .Net, SQL, Java, HTML, ColdFusion, VBS, JS, Crystal Reports, COGNOS and more. I've worked on global scale environments for Fortune 500 companies and as a software engineer for local government agencies. My expertise is in Visual Basic currently in the .Net flavor, and focuses on user applications. I am also currently active in the ASP.Net programming arena, specializing in DotNetNuke Module development, site creation, and administration. Stated simply, if you need to get information from a-to-z, I'm the guy you want to see.
