So, what will TheLever ponder about...?
Well, to tell you the truth, it is not quite known yet. All options are open, but chances are good that it will be about software, photography and aviation. Potentially, even the intersection of these three areas -- if at all possible. Oh, I might at times also fall for the temptation to drop a comment or two about my now 10 week old son.
These days I am spending a lot of time working on some code that uses Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Personally, I think it is rock solid. It is such a pleasure. Much cleaner and sweeter than remoting, I think. I vividly remember the days when you had to go through hoops to get your clients to the point where they could instantiate an object that you offered via remoting. The only thing I could really wish for would be more compiler support for, say, checking that your attributes that you adorn your interfaces and classes with make sense. I mean, wouldn't it be nice if the compiler would bark at you for putting the OneWay attribute on a method that does not have a void return type?
In WCF, particularly the Peer Channel has caught my attention. I think there is a whole new world waiting to be used for something other than P2P chat applications. Let's see what the future brings...
