Dr. Bela Julesz was the originator of the Random-dot Stereoimage (SIRDS) technique.

Stereovision.net has lots of interesting information on stereo imaging, including a Stereoscopic Software Guide and some Stereoscopic 3D Galleries. Maybe I should tangle with a C#/.NET stereo imaging project when I find some of that elusive "copious free time." This area is really fascinating and is important to information visualization. I remember how proud I was the first time I "saw" the 3D image from a stereo pair without the aid of a viewing device. This could be a lot of fun! I suppose I should do some Google or Kartoo searches to find out what the .NET community may have done already.

Stefan Tilkov has published an interesting article, MDA From a Developer's Perspective at TheServerSide.com. MDA is the Object Management Group's (OMG) new approach to software development. Tilkov is associated with iQgen, a commercial MDA-oriented tool and the article does a bit of self-marketing. OTOH, it does present a useful overview of the technology. The "official" page for MDA is OMG Model Driven Architecture. The OMG calls MDA an "open, vendor-neutral approach."

See [Pressing CTRL-C on a Windows Dialog Box] for an eye-opener. Why didn't I think of trying this? Something about ignoring the obvious?!

I have been playing with the SQL Stored Procedure Wrapper & Typed DataSet Generator for .NET and want to recommend it as a really nice and useful piece of work by leppie. Personally, I am learning a lot about SQL Server stored procedure discovery and code generation, using CodeDom, from examining this code. I think I'll be able to use it as a great starting point for some tools I need to build.
