I love the Nintendo WiFi headers. They're full of stuff like:
void ForceShutdown(){    // Functions that can be forcibly called will be called here.}

The function signature isn't the same, but the comment is (NDA crap).


In other news, I've been writing some API hooking code. Currently, I can grab a running process, and hook an imported function so it loads a DLL I specify, calls a function in it, then unloads the DLL instead. For testing, I've hooked Notepad's ChooseFontW function to call my own function, which shows a messagebox, then calls the real function. Works great on XP SP2 and Vista, but I'd like to see if I can get it running on my server, which is XP-64, just for giggles really.

I also want to build up a static library of useful utility functions that I can link to an exe to make a very quick test app for things. I was going to make a sort of Powershell-like thing, but that's complete overkill I think.

Anyway, back to work...

That's better than the comments I remember for the Sony AIBO (may it rest in peace); they were all in Japanese.

Oh, there's quite a lot of that too.
