Been a bit of time since my latest blog entry, I'll try and hit the high notes real fast
MonoDevelop: Damn this app kicks some serious ass. We have completed porting about 90% of the base stuff. Obviously some of the bells and whistles like a gtk# gui designer, and an asp.net designer arent even started yet, but as far as editing text, creating projects, compiling, etc we are pretty solid. We are still having scalability issues with our text buffer, something we need to look into soon (potentially replacing bits and pieces of it with gtk-sourceview or something else, not really sure yet. Anyone who wants to step up to this task, you would be my personal saviour and I would send you at least a twonie in the mail (thats kanuckistanian for 2 dollars)). I have some really cool and interesting ideas for doing the gtk# gui designer (yay for C# attributes and reflection), but they have to wait a bit for some other stuff to get finished. A fellow mono hacker Ben Maurer (no, not gonzalo's screaming orangutan) has been doing some great great work on MD and has even learned about fun stuff like glade and the HIG to do it. I recommend that everyone who has *any* interest in this grab the latest sources and start hacking, we need more people working on this. :)
Music: I love music so much. However I try and escape it I can't, its just too much fun to listen too. My only problem is I get so damn hooked on albums, like right now my iPod has close to 30GB of music on it, and I end up listening to Thursday - War all the Time, Prick - The Wreckard and The Strokes - Room on Fire all the time. I need to get back into my habit of letting the damn thing pick music for me randomly.
