Congratulations! You've reached Julian M Bucknall's OLD personal web
site and blog. Unfortunately, it's no longer being updated.
Why? Because there's a new blog! With proper blog software and everything (commenting too!). Since I'm sure you want to read the new stuff, please navigate to http://blog.boyet.com/.
See you there!
After many years of static HTML pages on my website, today's the day I'm launching my new blog. Yes, Web 2.0 has now been around for many a year, and the Bucknall-meister finally gets round to using ASP.NET in the guise of Graffiti CMS.
So the new place to bookmark is blog.boyet.com, and the new feed to subscribe to is here.
This original website will remain in stasis, with all the action happening on the new blog. See you over there!
Pandora is an internet radio station with a difference. First of all it's free (which seems to negate my blog title). Second it creates a playlist at run-time based on the music you like. Read more...

I may have mentioned it before, but my most favorite car ever was the Volvo 1800S, and I used to own one in England before I came to the States. Since I don't have one now, although I'm quietly looking, I do the next best thing: I collect the old car dealer brochures for it. Not only for pictures of the car, but for the most fabulous 60s fashion and hair dos. Absolutely amazing, very trendy. Read more...
I've done it, you've done it, if anyone programs for a living I'll bet they've done it. What, exactly? Got some code off the internet to solve a particular problem and used it in your current program. Read more...
Last time I visited our Glendale office I caught what has become my usual flight back to Denver: the 7pm Southwest flight from Burbank, which stops off in Las Vegas for a quick half hour en route. Unfortunately the only direct flight between Burbank and Denver is run by SkyWest on behalf of United and it's just more expensive as well as being on one of those regional jets. LAX, as a destination airport, is just too far away from the office, both in terms of distance and traffic. Read more...
From the scary but true department: I've been recording a whole series of videos for DevExpress. Read more...
