		<description><![CDATA[A couple weeks ago, Mike Acton, head of Core Technologies at Insomniac (where I'm now working, btw) posted <a href="http://macton.smugmug.com/gallery/8936708_T6zQX">this reaming of some standard C++ math code</a>. I think it's an excellent read if you're interested in deeply optimizing your math code, in particular for consoles, and in particular for the PS3.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following drove me crazy for the past few weeks, so I figured I&#8217;d better post about it just to get the word out.
For those who don&#8217;t know, VS 2005 added the notion of a &#8220;manifest&#8221; to manage DLLs.  Every application must have a valid manifest, or you can&#8217;t run.  In general, you [...]]]></description>

Lars and I have been hard at work on the second edition, and are wrapping up the text this week to be shipped to the publisher.  The major changes are:

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a couple reports of issues with the OS X libraries as shipped with the book.  The problem appears to be that the libraries are compiled for Mac OS 10.2, but don&#8217;t work so well with 10.3 and particularly 10.4 and up.  And the fact that they are compiled for a PowerPC architecture doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

However, as I got into it, I realized it was going to end up too long, too verbose and (more importantly) without a point.  A boring rant for ranting&#8217;s sake, if [...]]]></description>
