GameCamp Oslo - Inspirational Boosting- September 27, 2008 Yesterday I left my dayjob early to go with my brother Marius to the Oslo GameCamp at my former school NITH . I really wanted to get a better understanding of game programming and my brother (who is 18) is considering getting more into programming so we both had good reasons to be there.

Results: Using a dark theme in VS for a week- September 26, 2008 As I mentioned several days ago Ive been seeing if a dark theme in VS would help my eyes a little. The short of it is no, no it didnt.

The latter of course doesnt sound like its particularly good for you and Id definitely concur with that. I actually found that my background was slightly off-white in my VS settings and since...http://weblogs.asp.net/gbarnett/archive/2008/09/26/results-using-a-dark-theme-in-vs-for-a-...
