Quick Update

I’m doing some traveling over the next few days and will unfortunately be offline for most of that time. I will be back online on Tuesday so if you’ve sent me an email, please don’t expect a response before then.

I’ve also made some small changes to the Window Clippings order handling to make the process run a bit smoother and ensure that you receive your license keys promptly and reliably. This will hopefully reduce the number of times I need to send license keys out manually.

I also made the change from US dollars to Canadian dollars. This won’t really effect anyone as the currencies are mostly hovering around 1=1 but it will reduce processing costs for me as I do my banking in Canadian dollars and the exchange rate provided by the payment processor is quite outrageous.

On a different note I recently submitted my latest column for MSDN Magazine. This one is about writing high performance asynchronous HTTP clients in native C++. Look for it around July. I’m also going to start covering the upcoming C++0x standard in my column. C++0x aims to make it easier to build libraries and in particular template metaprogramming. It allows you to produce even more efficient code while making it easier to write and diagnose compile-time errors related to templates and will thus make it easier to learn for novices. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Exciting times!
