Another reason to love Source Beat - open source, delivered fresh...

Posted on February 18, 2004 by Bill Dudney

Yes I should be writing but this struck me as very relevant so i thought I'd capture it...

I'm currently working on the cvs chapter of Eclipse Live and I was double checking some of the terms I was using in part of the discussion in the Eclipse online help. Well what do you know the help was way out of date. Still discernible but all different and hard to follow, esp if you were a newbie... Not that I fault the Eclipse people, I really want 3.0 to come out and I'd love to see JDK 1.5 implemented too. So please spend time building the app...

Now onto what is cool about SB. Given that the eclipse team has little time or incentive to get the docs updated for every round (M3, M4, M5...) the docs suffer for lack of attention. With the SB model there is financial incentive to get the docs updated in the book and the means to do it in the form of updates (about once a month).

I love it!

Why I Love Word...

Posted on February 18, 2004 by Bill Dudney

I'm working away on Eclipse Live and fighting bugs in Word.

This is one of my favorites. I am just starting on chapter 5 (about cvs) so I made a copy of chapter 4 - to get all the formatting stuff. Well anyway I selected the first paragraph and then started typing. I'm left with these little droppings at the bottom of the paragraph as well as the really cool effect with the words 'your projects'. It also deleted (whited out) a line in the following paragraph.

Perhaps one of those randomly freed pointers needs to be cleaned up :-)
