Sharpen your Windows CE "ninja debugging skillz".

Posted: Mar 21, 2005, 10:17pm CST

Some Windows CE debugging fun for you tonight...

First, sharpen your "ninja debugging skillz" by understanding VM layout on CE (read: recognizing the location of an address just by looking at it--wha*ta!). Then learn how to figure out which freaking function of which DLL threw that exception with Sue Loh's write-up on manual address to symbol resolution.

I'm not a big Windows CE fan, but I work with it every day, and I can't tell you the number of times I've needed to do this very process. Sue's article does a good job of breaking this down.

The Priesthood of Technogeekery

Reading over some posts at Caveat Lector, a snippet about "technogeekery" struck a chord with me.

One asked me yesterday during break in reference class how I learned what I know. "Being dropped in the deep end," I told him honestly. There's this weird sense that technogeekery is a higher calling, a priesthood. Nah. It's what ordinary people do to keep from throwing very expensive pieces of equipment out top-story windows.

Well fucking stated.
