Now Boarding , a tycoon style game revolving around routing passengers at an airport, is one of these little treasures and a great game to help you relax and escape from the real world. The basic gist is that you are the owner of an airline and its home terminal, in charge of the amount and placement of seats, stores, and snacks (among other unlockable treasures)

My XAML object doesn’t show up in my Code Behind!

    Sometimes when you add the name of an object, or you have built an object in Expression Blend.  Then when you try to use the object in your code behind, it doesn’t appear!   ClickMe doesn’t appear when you try to use the Code Behind! That’s just frustrating, awful design, URGGHHHH! Not really, you need to do a save all   Simple: Click the Save All button as shown here   Then, magically, you get the object name showing up like you thought it would.

Смерть хостеров и SaaS-рестораны

Кое-кто предрекает скорую смерть всем традиционным хостерам по следующему сценарию: Гугль или Amazon или олигарх какой-то проснется с утра   со свежей идеей, и построит за пару-тройку лет   сотню датацентров по всей России, виртуализует их все, чтобы ресурсы перетекали по свободным мощностям (кстати, тут заодно все забудут про продажу юнитов и стоек в датацентрах), установит демпинговые цены и на этом весь остальной хостинговый бизнес закончится.

Using Games to help people better understand diseases

One of my relatives  has been diagnosed with PMP, a rare type of cancer that affects your intestines.  Very serious, it is an orphan disease.  When I read about it on the web at http://pmpawareness.org/ , my brain just about burst.  In the case of this disease, I would have liked to work through a serious of game levels that helped me understand how the disease functioned and how the doctors would work with my relative.  It is really tough luck for him, the PMP strikes 1 in 1,000,000 people in the US each year.  That means that 300 people get it a year, and if you are doctor, hospital or drug company, there is just not enough patients to pay for treatment.  This means it is an orphan disease, or it means that a lot of people get it, but aren’t diagnosed with it.
