Greetings to all Mago Debugger, Visual D, and interested D users.

After 5 years, I can no longer continue development of Mago Debugger.
The project requires too much attention for me to keep working on it
while keeping my family happy.

I learned a ton, and feel satisfied to have contributed to the D
Programming Language.

I'm handing off the project to Rainer Schuetze. He has forked it at
github (https://github.com/rainers/mago). If you're interested in
contributing to it, please contact him.


Thanks, Aldo, for this excellent work.

Very recently, Aldo has made debugging 64-bit processes possible in 
mago, which is quite different from debugging 32-bit processes.


You can see it in action in the latest beta of Visual D:

Thanks Aldo for this very important work! Very sad to see you move on.
Thanks also to Rainer for taking on another big project.

I wouldn't be a D user if it weren't for both of your work.

I think this stuff is much more important than the attention it tends to
gets by this relatively Linux biased community.
I suspect there is a much larger number of Windows based users and lurkers
than the representation in this forum tends to suggest.

The sad reality is that your physical appearance - including your
clothing - can have a big impact on how people perceive you, so in many
situations, wearing nicer clothing can have a definite impact. This is
particularly true when dealing with stuff like sales where you're
constantly having to deal with new people. That's not to say that
clothing makes the man, but impressions like that can matter, even if it
seems like they shouldn't. So, it makes a lot of sense for some folks to
wear nicer clothes - or professional clothes - as part of their job.
However, for engineers, it's ridiculous. We shouldn't normally be
interacting with anyone where it would matter. So, attire like t-shirt
and jeans should be fine. Our clothing should have little impact on our
job. And in most cases, if an engineering manager is pushing for that
sort of thing, I think that it's a very bad sign.



Yea, various things about appearance definitely have a subconscious 
effect on perception. That's a fairly deeply ingrained part of human 
nature, unfortunate as it may be.


But what really gets me is when people have it as a fully *conscious* 
belief, not just subconscious. Then my WTF meter just redlines.
