Widget Set

Spent a lot of time creating several controls on top of System.Windows.Form for Pnet, Mono and Windows. The latest control implemented was the Collapsible Splitter control which was taken from a sample code posted on a newsgroup. This Splitter Control really rocks, it goes well with the PropertyGrid control perfectly.

Currently working on other run-time/design-time controls. It might turn out the widget set will become open sourced, similar to CodeJock and probably compete with them as well.

I haven't shown it to Colin yet. He is pretty good in animations, especially, in the sketching and shading department. I'm hoping on getting him in doing all those nifty stuff.

Language

Made progress by using the Subject-Object-Verb(SOV) format. At the moment, some old mental structures are being rebuilt to accomodate this kind of style. Found it quite strange writing this way setting up the thought and then writing the sentence down in a broken fashion. Example shown below:
   The boy give large roses to the girl.
   Step 1: Puer ------- ------ ----- ---. 
   Step 2: Puer ------- ------ ----- dat.
   Step 3: Puer ------- magnas rosas dat.
   Step 4: Puer puellae magnas rosas dat.


Volleyball And 24-Hour Fitness

Been enjoying the week playing Volleyball and working out in the gym. Need to lose 45 pounds down to range of 170 to 180 pounds. Yesterday's game was really fun, there were a lot good kills and saves.
