I was in traffic passing the stadium while the Offaly / London gaelic football match was in progress on Saturday.
A man and his five year old son were walking by at the same time, when the match ball came over the stadium wall, bounced twice near them and was caught expertly by the little boy. Both father and son continued walking with junior clutching the ball as if he'd had it all along.
Good job they have spares at these things!

So who won?

The little boy certainly did.
As for the game itself, Offaly. The scores to the left of the "-" are conventional goals, but they didn't score any. The score to the right is a point which comes from a shot over the bar, similar to a Rugby drop goal. Three of them equate to a conventional goal. So with everything converted to points the score becomes 17 to 10...

Offaly (17 - 10 = a goal is worth 3 points)

Of course. They are, after all, Offaly good at the game!

That is a lot of bored people. 
Ok, so it is no record breaker.......but not bad for a channel that has hardly any content and isn't really targeting anything!
Still, $15/month is $15/month in any man's pocket! 
I expect once I load up a couple of my C63 videos I found on my harddisk from 4 years ago, that might generate a few more views and $'s.
I watched them before I came offshore and hearing the noise again put a smile back on my face! I miss that car...

I just got an email from some "administration".
It was sent to Sam, Sander, Sander, Sandra, Sanne...
And it was completely empty. No subject, no body, no attachment.
I liked it better when spam messages promised me gifts from princes and inheritances from unknown aunts

Well if you didn't keep changing your name so often they wouldn't get so confused!

I went from my previous name to Sander Rossel, that's an average of once every 5.5 years

But where are Sam, that other Sander, Sandra, and Sanne?

It was probably a single-pixel white .tif image with a payload in one of the tags and taking advantage of some image display vulnerability in the email program or graphics library...now your system is pwnd.

It must've been from Microsoft, the tif probably put Windows 10 on my machine

Don't give them any ideas!

I notice there's a ton of jobs for full-stack web devs and web devs in general. I am currently in a web dev program but the truth is, I truly love C#. I want to be a C# developer but I'm having a tougher time finding chat rooms, hang outs, meet ups, etc... with C# developers. I'm having a very easy time finding these things with Javascript and front-end devs. I want to meet some developers who primarily program with C# and collaborate... I know GitHub comes to mind but a lot of the software there seems to be too complicated for me to just jump right into. I have a tough time understanding the huge projects on there when I have no experience with them.
Is C# something I can realistically make cutting-edge applications with at this point? Xamarin is out of the question for me right now because Im on Windows 7 and the emulator I can use is too slow. Are desktop apps dying or can I really still make some killer stuff with C#? Do you know of any communities I could get into to pair code with some C#? Thanks.

(Read in a non-serious way!)
C# developers don't like limelight as much as JavaScript developers do. That is one of the reasons why you find JavaScript everywhere and C# is found nowhere. Besides, who wants to build applications that are only going to run on a number of devices. JavaScript executes everywhere, oops, gets interpreted.
(Some serious wording)
C# has been in the community since a while. C# is really making its way to every platform, also, C# developers will be found on Linux environment too. You will find these hatty geeks talking about C# programs soon. Xamarin doesn't need you to test on their emulators only. You can connect your own devices too. I develop Xamarin projects and I never test them, I just run them on my mobile. I know it would work!
Quote: Is C# something I can realistically make cutting-edge applications with at this point?
You need to take a leap of faith before C# can actually come and save you.

The problem with desktop development is not so much that it's dying as that pretty much everything that can be done has been done. Apart from games there's really not much room for anything new and exciting anymore. What is there that still needs adding to desktops, that could be tomorrow's essential, that could actually earn someone some money?
