The notifications counter in the top right: for me it's currently reading 65,681 messages to read.
I was kinda hoping it would roll over at 0xFFFF but Chriss is far too canny for that!

We refer to it as "Law Of The Cat" and it excludes you from duties like coffee, cooking, washing up, fetching a cold drink, ...
Only requirement is "no holding it down", which implies no coercion, no glue, no gaffer tape, no nails, ... and the cat must be alive.

They used to be deities and still behave that way. When they command you to sit still, you better sit still.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

So? It is summer, the sun is shining. My T-shirt reads "North Norway Summer: The best day of the year".
My family moved south of the Polar Circle a year before I was born (only by a few miles), but I spent a few summers in the north, visiting friends and relatives. More than once I have had neighbours (of my relatives/friends) knocking on the door at 2AM, 3AM and 4AM. They sit down to chat, or "We saw that you are still awake, would you like to come over for a drink?"
I love sitting out in the sun at 2AM with a iced beer, chatting with friends and their neighbours.

According to History of Windows Store: Total number of apps, there are 800,000 windows store app now.
I am contemplating to do a UWP app in my own free time. I am good in C++. But standard C++ support is still in beta. And C# UWP does not have directx support. So I am kinda stuck with C++/CX.
Some of the old tutorials I read still mentioned Metro and Windows 8.
Any advice for me?

Thanks mate! I'm going to spend Sunday, going through your UWP articles!
Thanks again!

Thank you for checking out my articles. Hope they help to give a start in the right direction.
If you get a chance, let me know what you think. Thanks.

Looks like he used C# though and you specifically want to use C++?
|
|
|
|
|
All UWP documentation have C#, C++/CX and Javascript code examples which I can refer.
I know C# and C++/CX is kinda similar to C#, so it is not difficult for me to convert to C++/CX. Anyway almost all UWP tutorials, except DirectX ones, found on the web are in C#.

You might want to also put the books etc. in your profile bio as well, as no one would know if you didn't tell them. Just a thought. It could be there already, I just didn't find it.
