Well... its 2:10 AM I am watching TV and i come across 'youth television' which is really a network for little kids (i used to watch it when i was 8)... But what do I see on the TV? None other than 'The Microsoft .NET show'. Its a 2 hour show with some chinese (maybe japanese) guy talking about .NET.

Right now he is trying to explain soem things about how they can run programs on other machines. He doesnt even know what any of the acronyms mean.

He is now talking about XML web services. He is using an IBM laptop running winXP and is now using notepad to create an XML webservice. It is a very complicated service that allows one to add two numbers.
*this is really boring*
He is now explaining the wonders of being able to use the 'run' command to open the file in IE.
Ha! IE rendered a bit of stuff wrong on a page he went to.
According to this guy, efficiency doesnt matter.
Now he is using his amazing visual basic to make a form.

...well i think i forced myself to watch this long enough, what d'ya guys think?

i saw a thing like that.... there is a channel called YTV which is basically kids programs for like kids 6-14 i'd say (shows like power ranges and Are You Afraid Of The Dark?) at about 3AM there was the thing of the .NET program with some fat lady who didn't seem to have rehersed talking about the framework. she sort of studdered but it seemed like she was talking infront of one of those investor things with thousands of people.....she kept using the word "robust" and i still have no idea wtf that word means.....

what does "robust" mean?

Refalm:
Robust... hard to explain... the best explanation is: "it is cool"

Calum:
it means solid and stable. reliable, not likely to be influenced by outside/unexpected forces.

yeah right.

whatever happened to rocky and bullwinkle? why should kids put up with this drivel?
