Self-write: the program that writes itself
I was wandering through Hugh Browns Website and I ran across this: Self-Write programming challenge. I found it very interesting. He gave a solution for it in C so I'm going to try and do it in C#.

For the people who don't know what this does it either drops down an intellisense list based on the context of where you are typing or if there is only one entry that matches what you have typed it will fill in the rest of you.

Now I'm waiting to for a response from Virginia Tech and then I can make a decision of where I want to go. Assuming I get the accepted and get assistance from Virginia Tech I will be faced with a tough decision.

Using Serialization as a general Deep Copy

How private are private fields?
The other day when I was working on creating a object/assembly browser for the web I was thinking about the power of reflection. Using reflection you can get access to any any part of a class including private members. So I wrote a simple project to test and see I could change private fields using reflection, or call private methods using reflection.
