Information Zalgo is a combination of 3 different character sets, Combining Diacritical Marks (U+0300 - U+036F), Greek and Coptic (U+0370 - U+3FF) and Cyrillic (U+0400 - U+04FF).

It is also known as a "meme" on sites like but is also argued to be a "curroption instead. Some websites and computers cannot read these characters even if they have UTF-8 enabled. If you can't see it then try going to "View > Character encoding / encoding > UTF-8". This can affect how fast sites load and how they look. Encyclopedia Dramatica : "The Zalgo outbreak has since been brought to greater attention by b3ta.com user Evilscary, who created/discovered most of the Garfield and Ctrl-Alt-Del comics featuring Z҉A҉L҉G҉O.

I've updated this article with some new guidance--for the details, see this post.

Excel enables the creation of user defined functions that can be used in Excel formulas. A developer must create a special kind of DLL called an XLL. Excel also allows you to write custom functions in VBA that can be used in Excel formulas. Unfortunately, Excel does not support or recommend writing an XLL that uses managed code.

If you are willing to take your chances that your XLL might not run in current or future versions of Excel, there are solutions available that enable this scenario—search the web for “managed XLL”. Fortunately, there is an easier way to create a user defined function that doesn’t require you to create an XLL dll. Excel XP, Excel 2003, and Excel 2007 support something called an Automation Add-in. First, launch Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008 and create a new C# class library project called AutomationAddin for this example. Namespace AutomationAddin{ return result; } 1. 2. 3.

In the previous article from this series I've introduced how to access the cameras of the phone and emulate a photo camera using the Windows Phone API. These API are really straightforward and almost everyone can take pictures easily for the purposes of the application. But for the most demanding, taking pictures does not suffice.

As an example you can think to an application that needs to measure the light incoming from the lens or that is able to read a barcode without asking the user to click a button. These two samples, but also lot of other I can imagine, require the access to the raw stream coming from the camera. Only in this way the developer can examine the stream, detect shapes, perform calculations, and so on.

And only in this way he can develop the most compelling features. Download the source code Accessing the raw stream For the purpose of demonstrating how to access the camera stream, I've created a simple histogram calculator app. 1: public Histogram() 14: else.
