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.
Dan Farley on Saturday, November 29, 2008Not at all what I thought you'd look like. ;-)

andrea on Wednesday, September 16, 2009really nice blog you have here, ive been reading your articles on poker bot development for days now
facebook poker chips on Thursday, December 10, 2009I don't know how you do this, but as much as I read your blog i began to realize you're a marvellous blogger!
custom essays on Sunday, February 21, 2010first 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 )))

cheap ed hardy on Tuesday, July 27, 2010It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
