Wil discusses the emotions invoked by being a father… and he mentions tea!
May 4, 2003 1 min.
A recent post by Wil Wheaton manages to show his flair for descriptive writing, his complete geekness (surrender to it folks, it is the only way), and the joy a father feels when he is admired by his step son. And it does all of this while including tea in the narrative; what more could you want?

Tomorrow is my last day here in Vegas, the N+I conference is wrapping up and I’m going to be heading home to Redmond. Overall it was an interesting experience, I’ve never attended a non-developer focused conference before and it was quite a different type of crowd then I’m used to. The questions at the VS.NET 2003 booth were mostly “What is …. Visual Studio… ?” I’m pretty sure some of the folks who came up to me thought it was some form of graphics editing suite, due to the Visual part of the name.

Sara Williams, overlord manager of MSDN, has started her own blog. I’m sure this will be a great place for discussion around MSDN futures and features. I know that many people who read my blog use MSDN every day, so I expect to see lots of comments!

I’m writing this from Las Vegas now, actually I’m on a plane heading to Las Vegas… but this post won’t show up until I’ve landed and found some form of connection, for a few days of the N+I conference (Networld + Interop), and it has been a fairly crazy few days. With a flight planned for 9:50 in the evening, my wife and I (and our 2 yr old son) thought we had some time to do a bit of house-hunting around 4 in the afternoon.
Some “slightly less than documented” APIs

I wrote an article back in August 2002 on some of the API calls that were documented as part of the Microsoft settlement agreement… but in the end, I never published it… so here it is for your viewing pleasure; [ http://www.duncanmackenzie.net/writing/SettlementAPIs.htm ](http://www.duncanmackenzie.net/writing/SettlementAPIs.htm) Associated code is also located on my site; http://www.duncanmackenzie.net/writing/newapis.exe
