		<title>Building a SlimDX MiniTriangle sample with Direct3D11 and IronPython</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I generally don&#8217;t post huge code dumps, mainly because I find them more annoying and less helpful than some books/authors might. But you know, I&#8217;ve been playing with IronPython/SlimDX recently and decided to do up another SlimDX Sample (demonstrating DX11), except in IronPython this time. This will be in the SlimDX samples sometime soon! import [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is It Really A Bug For A Beginner To Be Using C-Strings In C++?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Depends, but probably yes. A beginning programmer should be focusing on learning to program. That is: the process of taking a concept and turning it into an application. Problem solving, in other words. Learning to program is not the same thing as learning a programming language. Learning a programming language is about learning the syntax [...]]]></description>

		<title>SlimDX Direct3D10 X Loader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a useful class for loading X files (using SlimDX) into a Direct3D10 Mesh object. This is based off of Jack Hoxley&#8217;s C++ code from his journal post on GameDev.Net. A few things to note about it: It doesn&#8217;t handle multiple materials (or materials at all). To handle that would require you to be sure [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Simple C++ Quiz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently some people have been pestering me to post back up my C++ quizzes. So…without further ado here is the first one. The answers will be posted later. Given the following three lines of code, answer these questions int* p = new int[10]; int* j = p + 11; int* k = p + 10; [...]]]></description>

		<title>SlimGen and You, Part ADD EAX, [EAX] of N</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So far I’ve covered how SlimGen works and the difficulties in doing what it does, including calling convention issues that one must be made aware of when writing replacement methods for use with SlimGen. So the next question arises, just how much of a difference can using SlimGen make? Well, a lot of that will [...]]]></description>

		<title>SlimGen and You, Part ADD AL, [RAX] of N</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The question does arise though, when using SlimGen and writing your SSE replacement methods, what kind of calling convention does the CLR use? The CLR uses a version of fastcall. On x86 processors this means that the first two parameters (that are DWORD or smaller) are passed in ECX and EDX. However, and this is [...]]]></description>

		<title>SlimGen and You, Part ADD [EAX], EAX of N</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So previously we delved into one of the nastier performance corners on the .Net framework. Today I’m going to introduce you to a tool, that is in development currently, which allows you to take those slow math functions of yours and replace them with high performance SSE optimized methods. We’ve called it SlimGen, which although [...]]]></description>

		<title>SlimGen and You, Part ADD [EAX], AL of N</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine you could have the safety of managed code, and the speed of SIMD all in one? Sounds like one of those weird dreams Trent has, or perhaps you are already thinking of using C++/CLI to wrap SIMD methods to help reduce the unmanaged transition overhead. You might also be thinking about pinvoking DLL methods [...]]]></description>

		<title>VMWare Server 2.x</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Virtualization has become quite the business hot topic (and buzzword too), now days. It offers the promise of server consolidation, ease of management, personal reduction, monetary savings in miscellaneous fields (such as power consumption). Of course, there is always the question of if it actually delivers on any those promises. I&#8217;ve been using VMWare Server [...]]]></description>

		<title>Server outage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, sites back up, on WordPress now&#8230; Server crashed something spectacularily the other day. Both drives in the RAID 1 decided to take a nice vacation, and so I&#8217;m having to restore from backups I&#8217;ve kept. Thanks to google I&#8217;ve got most of my old posts, and will be dumping them up here through the [...]]]></description>
