Got a roomba?[^]
So, not only do they spread doggy-do over everything if they find it, they also spy out your house for the maker. Still don't want to push a Hoover about?

Like uncle Owen said, let's bring that thing to Anchorhead and have its memory wiped. Take care of that first thing in the morning.

I assume users provide it when they install so as to map the room better and provide more efficient cleaning. I dunno - I don't own one, because I have a cat and I'm pretty sure the two would not sit well together...

Don't have one either. Not to sound sexist, but the missus already has the room layout sorted, so the ol' fashion Roomba works just fine....

At least those cats here[^] have no problems with them. The house mappers should have more problems with the cats constantly redirecting the robots.

I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Can I sell my house plan directly? Any one to buy here?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Well, not to me anyway - but then, I'm not one of Our Lizard Masters so I don't need it to direct the Mind Control Ray accurately.

...to work on my SQL Express Agent project (and soon to be article). I've made significant strides in the last week - the UI closely resembles the agent editor that lives in SQL Server Manager, with allowances made for the fact that it's intended to create agents for SQL Server Express (which doesn't support agents at all).
Each agent can have multiple steps, and each step can run either a query or a SSIS package.
After months of working with Qlikview, I'd thought I might have lost my C#/WPF foo, but it came back strong. 
I wish we could post images...

such as FreeNet or ZeroNet?
Just curious, as Peer-to-Peer is part of the underlying technology for things like blockchain (and anything distributed.)
If so, what for? (Unless that's secret, haha!)
Me, no, but how these things work is of interest. It looks like .NET, since version 3.5, has some P2P integrated with WCF and some basic classes, and there's a few implementations I've come across in Python and C# (the only two languages I've looked at at the moment) but so far, what I've seen is rather monolithic -- for example, you're stuck with whatever protocol (TCP, UDP, whatever) that the coder chose, and there's no options for a hybrid approach (P2P or Peer-to-Server), etc.
There's also quite a lot of interesting complexity to the whole concept, not just regarding security, but optimization of the topology, and so forth.

I used ZeroNet for a bit, but since I couldn't answer the "what for" question I stopped using it. It seemed more theoretically interesting as a concept than practically useful as a tool.
Mainline DHT has been more useful to me, I use it more or less daily (though that makes it sound more interactive than it is) and I almost always have a node online in it.

Ah, thanks -- more reading to do. I keep encountering references to Kademlia, looks like it warrants a deeper dive.

For what, if I may ask?

Short magnets without embedded trackers and old magnets/torrents where all the trackers are dead. Of course trackers can be added to them but there's no real way to know which trackers other people have added to them (except adding all of them), so without DHT you'd miss a lot of peers (maybe all of them).

Hi Marc,
While this is not "true P2P," I think you might find it interesting and related, I think, to the topic:
XDMessaging.NET : ipc without server client; very easy to use. I found out, after discovering XDMessaging, that the author had a CP article published in 2007; that's been updated in 2010, but is out of date now. I've written the author, and requested he update the CP article. last dev activity on github two-months ago. I am experimenting with the "lite" package to enable duplex communication between WinForm apps, but the full package can do remoting using AWS.

I downloaded linux using P2P, but that was a while ago.
Blizzard use a combination of Server and P2P to distribute their games.
I think Steam also make use of P2P, although I have not used them (yet!)

So, I got an email from a recruiter offering me a great looking role in my area.
Stangely, it's the role I'm currently recruiting for.
How weird is that?
He'll be hearing from me, but not quite in the way he's probably hoping for!

apply again, double your chances.
Perhaps use your 2nd name (or invent one).
If both of yourself get called for the interview play the twin game (and ask for more the 2nd time - more likely to get your first ask.)
Sin tack
the any key okay

|

Go on - interview yourself (and don't forget to pay your expenses for getting to the interview!)

Thanks a lot for that thought.
My mind (quickly) turned to the concept of the casting couch.
And he interviewing himself.
And the casting couch.
And . . . damn it . . .
