Lack of Posts
Sorry for the long delay. A few things have been to blame including a trip up to my office in Toronto. My Toronto trips, which I do numerous times through-out the year, generally leave me with very little free time. Next time I'll post a note before I leave.
Mind you, the delay was also due to a tool I decided to write.
Source Code to HTML Formatting Tool
I've been working on my XNA articles (at least one will be out this week) but wasn't happy with existing web or stand-alone tools that format source code for blogs/web-sites. So I spent a few nights putting a tool together; it's called Trellis.
Trellis is complete except for a nice icon which a friend of mine should be sending over tomorrow. The tool is much more customizable than most things I've seen out there and runs either as a standalone application or as a Windows Live Writer plug-in. The plug-in was extremely simple but important to me since I tend to write my articles using Live Writer. The code was also designed to be incorporated into other .NET applications including .NET based websites and blogging engines. I will include C# and HLSL (.fx files) formatters, but you can easily create your own formatters using a text file.
I'll post the tool up for download, along with more details, once I receive the icon.
Missed News
While I have been reading news I haven't had time to comment on what has been going on and there has actually been quite a lot including the PS3 Launch in Europe, the 360 Elite announcement and even yesterday's 360 May Dashboard update and keyboard announcement. Needless to say, I'll be back at it again as of now.
