About Coding the Wheel

Coding the Wheel is dedicated to the art of do-it-yourself technological douchebaggery debauchery.

  • Programming
  • Music
  • Poker
  • Web design
  • SEO
  • Graphic arts
  • Typography
  • Video games
  • Probability

If you've ever considered quitting your day job to pursue something else, something technical (be it independent software development, music composition, full-time professional poker, or anything else), or if you're a fan of geek culture and random minutiae interspersed with practical bits of esoterica, or if you're a fellow software developer/poker player/musician looking to improve his or her craft, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to:

Take an unhealthy obsession for the inner workings of things. Add a sizable dose of political incorrectness. Throw in a dash of outright randomness. And voila! You've got a growler of vintage Coding the Wheel beer. Now drink up.

About the Author

By the way, my name is James Devlin. I can be reached at james@codingthewheel.com or via the Contact page.

I've been building software, composing music, and playing poker for a living since roughly 1995/1990/1998. In my spare time I like to hang out by the pool, eat Indian food, listen to my Citizen Cope, catch up on movies, read the occasional book, and support my Dallas Cowboys.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi James, Well I've been inspecting some aspects of your article a bit more closely and realized you covered the question of creating "hybrid" as it relates to language choice so it sounds like you don't discount the notion. I think that answers my question! I'll follow it with another one as if this hasn't been so much of a bother already!

Do you know of any other ways of obtaining the information hooking the drawtext function can provide without utilizing C++ and the windows API?

Thanks Dan

P.S. I'm big into music too so if you happen to be in the texas area maybe you'll love the blues. If you do then you'll need to check out Joe Bonamassa. Incredible.

Not at all what I thought you'd look like. ;-)

James,

I just discovered your blog and love it. It drips with attitude that makes reading your posts a great pleasure. Keep up the good work.

ho bisogno di sapere quanto costa un programma per vedere sulla tablet room le carte degli aversari e so che e' possibile. grazie.ha dimenticavo il programma per manipolare il saldo in soldi reali,dopo averli manipolati sono soldi veri da giocare oppure no in real money. grazie.

I don't know how you do this, but as much as I read your blog i began to realize you're a marvellous blogger!

first of all - what a great blog!!!

inspired by your post about intelligent note, i started a project (tracker/advisor/opponent profiler) with a major focus on user experience - GUI.

for testing/demo purposes i integrated both PA and SnG Ttestbed into it. i tried to interest some folks @pokerai, but they seem to ingore the user experience issue too("log messages are more than enough") - don't blame them as the forum's focus is on AI.

anyway, would you be interested in reviewing it (and hopefully help in defining future features)?

again, u r doing a great job )))

Just start reading your posts, which is really very informative I am definitely keeping an eye on your blog, I've got reader.Do often have a newsletter you can sign? logo design

it would be nice to spend few evenings and delete spambots comments & add some captcha to save comment ;)

It's crazy how somebody can find poker answers on a programmer's blog :)

I enjoyed following the whole entry, I always thought one of the main things to count when you write a blog is learning how to complement the ideas with India Pharmacy images, that's exploiting at the maximum the possibilities of a ciber-space! Good work on this entry!
