Out of Commission

Hiya!

Last week I broke my left wrist in several places. While that gives me time to watch movies and TV series, it makes it a bit hard to write about them.

But as soon as I’m better, I’m back in the game.

TV Season 2009/2010 Diary, CW 13-16

Deutsche Version | CW 13-15 | CW 13-17

Romantically Challenged 1×01 Don’t Be Yourself
What I’ve seen so far is a run-of-the-mill sitcom and I’ve seen nothing (except for Alyssa of course ) that makes this one special. Maybe I watch a few more episodes, maybe I don’t. But I honestly don’t think I’ll miss something if I don’t.

10 Things I Hate About You 1×14 Meat Is Murder
It was really cool how Blank played Kat while being completely honest with her.
But I also liked how Bianca tried to smooth things up with Cameron and how she “trained” Stacy (especially on the topic of LOST) so that she would be perfect for Cameron.

Bones 5×18 The Predator in the Pool
Rena Sofer, huh? I can see why Booth would be attracted to her. I find it fascinating who both Bs know that it’s “wrong” what they are doing and yet go through with it (for now). But I liked the uncomfortable look on Brennan’s face because the ball is on her side now and she has to act.
As for the case: A lot of convenient coincidences in this one (like the fish burping out the skull at the right moment). I have no problem with written coincidences on TV shows but please not too many and not blatantly obvious.

Castle 2×21 Den of Thieves
Michael Trucco, huh? Starbuck fell for him, Penny fell for him – so why not Kate?
I really liked it that Ryan and especially Esposito played a bigger role than usual. They have been criminally underused so far. And it was great how the two of them and Castle totally “inconspicuously” investigated Trucco’s character.
I also liked how the episode ended and they all covered for Esposito.

Cougar Town 1×20 Wake Up Time
Again the men were the highlight of the episode. Grayson on the emotional level, Andy on the funny level and Bobby on his usual weird level. Too bad Kylie is gone already; I really thought she and Grayson made a nice couple.

And now for “emotional chicken”:

C# CodeDom Inline Compiling

I was a bit bored just now and since the WYSIWYG editor of Wordpress 2.9.2 doesn’t work as optimal as I had hoped, I decided to write my own program that translates forum posts with BB code into HTML.

Of course I could have put all these replace functions into the code but then I would have to adapt the code every time I find a new tag.

So I thought this might be a good time to toy with the Inline Compiler of C#. And if done right, it is relatively easy.

Here’s my first Inline Compiling Code Snippet (it doesn’t contain any error handling and some such, but you get the idea how it works):
