I'm working on chapters 7 and 8 of the C# Networking Book. I hope to have Chapter 7, Data Serialization Techniques, out early next week and Chapter 8, Network Performance Optimization, out the following week.

With Chapter 8 finished, I will have the basics done.

Doing a talk at lunch today covering how to improve with . I have to give this talk a few times in 2024 at conferences, so it's a great way to improve the content before then. Wish me luck!

I have 2 days to do whatever I want. I can't remember when that happened last. Three things I want to do:

  1. Write chapter 5 of the networking book on multithreaded C#
  2. Finish the demo
  3. Plan a new event for next year.

@verge, as a US citizen who did my and 3 of my kids' taxes in the last week, I can agree that around every turn, I was asked if I wanted to buy the paid version. Even with my daughter who worked the summer in an ice cream shop. 🙄

So... wife cooked an actual ham and then slow cooked first ever pea soup. Dinner last night. Yum!

But this morning I find this sealed packet on the counter. "Ham flavor". we had an actual ham. This packet came with the ham.

We had an actual ham.

🤔
I'm pretty sure we had an actual ham. Bones too.

Jeffrey Epstein's Island Visitors Exposed by Data Broker

A @WIRED investigation uncovered coordinates collected by a controversial data broker that reveal sensitive information about visitors to an island once owned by Epstein, the notorious sex offender.

This article doesn't name names but the implication is that it's not a leap to get them or that they do have them but just not saying.

@kbsez @WIRED Holy Crap, this entire article sends chills down my spine. Not just for what Epstein did (which is evil and horrible) but this quote:

“The pervasive surveillance machine that has been developed for digital advertising now enables other uses completely unrelated to marketing, including government mass surveillance”

This is nightmare I have when I fly. I am 6’3” and I try to get exit row but even newer planes do not have larger rows in exits now. I fly Friday in a regular economy seat between my wife and daughter and dreading that someone reclines and kills my legs.

I'm having fun writing chapter 4 of the network programming book, which covers Asynchronous Programming with Async/Await. This is an excellent topic that more developers need to learn, not only for networking code but for C# in general. The pitfalls of async coding can cause issues in projects.

The chapter should be out later this week.
