I can't believe that I need to write my own MMC Snap-In to simply filter out certain services that the standard Services SnapIn displays. Why should I have to duplicate all of that existing functionality? It would be nice to be able to inherit that whole SnapIn and override the WMI query that it uses to retrieve the list of services.
If anybody knows another way to do this please comment.

Learning to Juggle 5
I've been trying to learn to juggle 5 balls for several months now. I only practice Thursday nights for a few hours at our (TurksHeadJugglers) club meetings, so it is definitely my fault that I'm not progressing faster then I should.
I'm finding that using tetrahedral felt bags filled with shot seems easier then my Dube balls.
I've gotten to the point where I can flash 5 fairly consistently, 6 once in a while, and 7 once in a GREAT while.
My biggest issue is accuracy. I juggle facing a wall and with a large pile of gym mats in front of me so I don't have to bend over to the floor every 15 seconds or so to pick up the bags. When I'm tossing 3 or 4, my accuracy isn't bad, but as I throw higher and faster, it goes to pot. Tosses from my Right hand inevitably go forward, so if the wall wasn't there, I'd be walking forward, and tosses from my left go much higher then they're supposed to. Every so often I just back down to 1 or 2 balls to improve my aim. It is going much slower then I'd hoped though.

First Entry
Ok, so I blog therefore, I am, right?
I'm putting this up so that I can save my random thoughts and ramblings on things I'm interested in which includes juggling, motorcycles, origami, flying and software development. Everything that appears here will be my thoughts and feelings only unless attributed to someone else.
Enjoy reading.
