Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) in C#

Microsoft .Net Framework is so powerful, and it provides so many common libraries to use. However, recently I am working on a legacy project to work out CRC32, and I can find no where. OK, I have to DIY. If you need it by chance, here are the source code.

/// 
/// Calculates a 32bit Cyclic Redundancy Checksum (CRC) using the
/// same polynomial used by Zip.
/// 
public class CRC32 : HashAlgorithm
{

    private static readonly UInt32[] crc32Table =

Let’s go skiing this snow season!

Last weekend, we drove almost 500km from Sydney to Thredbo.

Sydney to Snowy Montain

Friday night, it was freezing and the temperature drops to -5°. We left few bottles outside. Saturday morning, they all iced up. Saturday was sunny but cold. The cold weather still can not stop our passion.

Ski is fun but dangerous. I saw at least two people was sent to the hospital by ambulance. My ski pole was also broken.
