My regular selection of updated software turned up today as part of my MSDN subscription. This time it also included a beta copy of the increasingly late Visual Studio 2005, plus a bit of advertising in the form of a lenticular picture of a caterpillar, I assume because Visual Studio will turn into a beautiful butterfly, or something like that!
Anyway, the caterpillar got added to my growing pile of promotional materials from various sources, so here it is alongside the Channel9 Guy I picked up on Tuesday.

Apologies, but the 3-D effect doesn’t transfer overly well to web, so you’ll have to take my word for it that it is suprisingly effective, certainly moreso than the similar pictures that fascinated me as a child. I have to say that it does make a change getting one of these instead of a pen, or the cardboard toads that Quest periodically send me, even if the pen is generally more useful than a 3-D caterpillar…
