Tobi + C# = T#

For all of you waiting for the continuation of my previous partial post about custom attributes and reflection. Well, hopefully it will be done on Monday. I’ll be spending a LOT of time in trains the next 4 days. And that should create enough “spare” time for me to finish my work on a hopefully informative article about custom attributes, reflection and setting values dynamically at runtime. So stay tuned and be sure to check back on Tuesday.

On the same note as my post on baiku – how did this happen: UN Human Rights Council election results. China, Cuba, etc. Damn, they know for sure what human rights are…

That’s what they call “open” in China. Well, as you probably know, Wikipedia is banned in China due to its political content. Now they claim that the IDEA is not banned. Or is it? China’s biggest search engine Baidu is creating an online enzyclopedia baiku like wikipedia, but I think it is nothing like wikipedia.

Here are the main differences:

• Articles may only be published, if they do not offend the Censorship of Publications Board
• It is illegal to publish any criticism against the functionaries and administration, hurt the public order, etc.
• Baidu alone is judge what is appropriate and what is not.
• Baidu owns all the legal rights to every article published within their system.
• etc…

Do I have to go on any further? Sad, sad …

Wow, has it already been 5 years since the death of Douglas Noel Adams? Thanks for making me recognize the little absurdities of life and the universe and everything in general and give me reasons to laugh in it.

Long after his death his poems were found and wondered over. News of them spread like morning sunlight. For centuries they illuminated and watered the lives of many people whose lives might otherwise have been darker and drier.

21 is only half the truth! Don’t Panic…
