I’m sorry. This isn’t going to be pretty. (more…)

As I men­tioned ear­lier, I’d like to cel­e­brate the new year by call­ing out a few prod­ucts I’d like to see improved in the new year.

First in line is Microsoft’s C++ com­piler and IDE. (more…)

So it’s the new year. Yay! How time flies when you’re hav­ing fun.

I don’t know about you, but I had a blast this last year. New (awe­some) apart­ment, started on my the­sis, launched this blog, and just gen­er­ally had a good time.

So how to fol­low it up? What can 2010 do to beat this?

Rather than com­ing up with a whole bunch of new year’s res­o­lu­tions for myself, I thought it might be more inter­est­ing to reverse the process — and say what I’d like to see oth­ers do in the com­ing year.

Through­out the year, I’ve encoun­tered a lot of soft­ware prod­ucts that, for one rea­son or another, I’d like to see improve. Per­haps they sim­ply suck cur­rently, and des­per­ately need to be fixed — or per­haps they’re already so good that I’m happy to use them, but I can think of fur­ther improve­ments that’d really make the “best in class”.

So for the next cou­ple of days, I’ll post my thoughts on what I’d like to see from a few of these prod­ucts dur­ing the com­ing year.

Hope you have a great new year’s eve! See you next year.
