Why are you not shooting film yet?

Isn’t it amazing that 1885 technology still rivals today’s all-digital?

I wish more people would join us in film photography.

New Habits

BREAKFAST at 7.30. On a Sunday. I must be getting old.

Apparently, I was in Mauritius recently

SO, what do I remember of my criminally-short visit to Mauritius? Not much, but fortunately the important bits are here.

First, the great wedding reception of Stéphane and Lynn on the evening of our arrival; second, five days of rushing from one government building to another in a bid to have our passports renewed in time for us to travel to the UK (yes, we barely just made it back); third, a quick visit to Casela Bird Park; and, last, five consecutive days and nights of eating out.

Somehow, before I had time to fully realise what was happening, I was back on a plane bound for England!

Bangers and mash

WHAT 75 of us had for dinner in a 5-star Marriotts a couple of years ago during a company retreat week-end. Testament to the awesomeness of bangers and mash? Or, a meal unfit for the venue?

Declaring variables inside-versus-outside loops

IN .NET, there is no difference between declaring variables inside loops and declaring variables outside loops. Here is the proof.

Here are two programs inside.cs and outside.cs, appropriately named to reflect the two ways respectively.

And, here is the ILASM obtained by disassembling inside.exe and outside.exe.

As you can see, the two are the same.

So, please leave those variables inside loops when they are not needed outside. Having the variables closer to their point of use makes the code easier to read.
