Using EMF and when adding EOperations for generic model operations an empty method body is created. The developer then has several choices on how to fill that empty method. I wonder what would be the most correct. Here is a proposal:

1. Change the JET template for operations gen, interpreting annotation parameters for the EOperation, saying on which class and method the operation can be retrieved. The generated method will delegate the operation to that class:



(OperationImplClass and operationImpl are given by the annotation).

2. Implement the specified external class (Like OperationImplClass).

Is there a simpler way to do it? I am always inclined to avoid any kind of generated code change and this implementation does avoid that. Although this will generate non-compiling code in case the specified class is not created yet. That is a minor issue compared to what is gained in terms of easiness of maintaining all model operations when renaming or deleting. This is only meaningful for really large and complex data models which require constant refactoring.

indeed why? it seems that the answer is too much obvious for those who are really into 3D modelling: because it's free, and only because it's free, as it seems that Blender is not yet better then other similar tools on anything, but it does everything that you need (modeling, rigging, animation, rendering, composing, etc.) and it is cross-platform (!).

Anyway, for noob starters, as myself, it has more than i can handle. After 14 hours of Blender training i manage to make a somewhat simple house and a chess piece (and i am quite happy with that!):

Kudos for Pedro Amado, the guy who teached me how to do this.

World of Warcraft servers go down. Some servers don't. Players start to nerdrage on the Technical Support forums where threads go up to hundreds of posts. Blizzard finnaly replies and says they are trying to fix the problem ASAP (even on sunday nights - wtf lol). Nerds go even more nerdraging on posts saying that they will finally quit wow after 5 years. Meanwhile they log in on some working servers and create level 1 characters. They realise they are hundreds of other playeres doing the samething. They play those characters doing something fun for the first time in months. And then the problem is fixed and everyone gets back to the raids or whatever they were doing forgetting about all the QQ "i will finally quit wow" and such.

This occurs every now and then. I have experienced several of these level 1 massive character creation, but only yesterday i finally recorded one:

 

I'll say! Fking kids doing nice music ;o

Its over. Mass Effect 2 finale has simply blown me away. Through the hole game i never did a reload for any decision, good or bad, i just had to live with my choices, until the very end! So i killed half of my team, Miranda was angry with me for half of the game until the very end where she died! (so my plans for sex with miranda failed big time) ;( I turned rogue on the illusive man and destroyed the Collector's base... which made me think it was a mistake in the end, in the very end where you realise there will be (of course) a Mass Effect 3. Omg, can't wait.

Fun part is to realise what did i miss.... i didn't had any sex not even with Tali or Jack... what the hell ;( !!!!

I wonder how much i missed on the game. But then again, i like the idea that you play a game where u are free to make any decisions you want to make, and then live with them (even if it leaves you blue balls so that you need to steal someone else's porn, like Joker's).

I now consider myself a fan of Yvonne Strahovski (chikipedia has a different domain - wtf?).

I have been a fun of Chuck for some time now. The idea of a geek with a double life where he is some sort of spy is appealing to me, although it is not portrayed as geekly as it should be, but maybe that is exactly why the series has been so successful until now. Or is it because of the not-so-ugly Yvonne playing as the CIA agent Sarah Walker? Of course not (lol). The characters are very consistent and you can't help but to sympathize with almost all of them, the action shots have a standard have-hot-girls-fighting-in-sexy-outfits cliché that works perfectly in my opinion ;) In summary, the series feels very enjoyable.

Anyway! Yvonne already had me on Chuck, but now i got blasted away, well, me and all the Strahovski MassEffect2-geek-fans out there: she is part of the cast for the game, giving voice (and face + body, by the looks of it) to Miranda, a kind of perfect woman that is one of your team mates in the game. And yes! she is incredibly hot in her virtual character as well! <3 Miranda <3. So now I will direct my efforts into role playing a lesbian hot case with her. This is pure geek happiness! And I am not ashamed of it! (oh yeah, started playing ME2 some days ago)

...is allways a World of Warcraft player. What are the odds of that? So i worked in 2 different places before working where i am now. All places shared some caracteristics such as, all were IT companies, the offices were allways open spaces, and i allways had 1 guy sitting next to me. And guess what? First one was a geek who one day watch me on some WoW forum and poped the question "Oh you play wow?". Nothing more to be said, after 5 years we are still friends and still play together! ;) Second one was this fat 18 year old intern sitting next to me, who talked a lot about wow. So we discovered each other since day 1 (hey - both fat geeks and wow players - perfect) and well, we spent countless hours talking about wow in our own language that nobody else could understand. Pitty that he left the job after some weeks... there was no time to make eternal bonds! ;P And finally, im working for 2 weeks on this new job. Today in the moring i was checking in on my usal WoW forums and guess what, the guy next to me arrives late, stops just behind me, gazing at my screen and pops the question... that question... the one question that seems to make instant friends no matter what or where you are ;) "Oh you also play wow?" "OMG same realm as me" "what are the odds of that???".. High enough i would say... :)
