Hi, I'm Chris. I enjoy long walks on the beach and my favorite color is blue. I also like Windows 95, the Component Object Model, MFC, C++ and WinSock. My favorite foods are fresh-baked bread and applesauce. My favorite parts of Windows 95 are all undocumented. Why must you continue to try and thwart me, Bill? : p

My Master's Thesis (or just the proposal)

In my copious free time, I'm working on a technique to use COM as a means to build component applications instead of the compound documents the industry seems to be stuck on right now. I'll update this page as my thesis proposal becomes more firm.
