I think you have to ask Tom S. for an account

Oh, that is a sweet site.  I'd love to join - would be nice to write up something about getting DirectX to work in D.

Great! It looks good. Can I ask you to included the phrase "D programming language" to your page templates so it will appear somewhere on every page? This will make it more findable with google searches.

Hey, just wanted to say that I can't get on irc.freenode.net with any IRC client that I have.  It fails to look up my hostname.  Does it use some nonstandard port settings or something?

irc.freenode.org at port 6667 should be enough ...

Thanks for the kind words. It would be totally awesome if you wrote something about DirectX :D
I've seen you flash for a second on the #dmedia channel, are you still having these IRC problems you mentioned in another post ?

Wow, the first page I stumbled upon,

http://dmedia.dprogramming.com/Tutorials/SdlGlTutorial1

simply kicked me breathless!

Now, is there anyone who's the one to cast the First Stone?? -- As in, trying to say it's not the looks but the content??

In other words: make the looks good enough, (like dmedia) and you're twice as far ahead as the bare looking site with Pure Gold content.

Besides, the dmedia content looks good too. So, /summa summarum/, this puts all other D related sites to shame.

Congratulations!

Really.

However due to the Build utility, and the compilation speed that DMD gives us, we can as well build it from sources each time we compile a program that uses it.

ahh .. I thought derelict was just a binding, i.e. C Headers --> D headers translation. and you still need the libs/dlls

It's not always possible to translate C/C++ headers into D modules
without adding code. For instance any tricky macros or bit fields
require function wrappers in D, and those generate some object code.
