Rules

June 1st, 2009

I am learning that WinForms doesn’t like animations when the primary thread is occupied. A new rule to learn. I have been spending time cruising the net, reading up on threading in an attempt to solve my problem. Which is this: I have a dialog that shows a “waiting” graphic while work happens. The work does in happen, but the waiting graphic never updates. Does the graphic work? Yes. I know it works because I’ve displayed the image as a stand-alone item and everything is cool. More to learn. I’ll post some code to CodeKeep when I get it figured out.

I’m album mode today. Of course, this has rules too. Expect for the starting point I have only picked albums that I rarely listen to yet have owned more than a decade. Collections are not allowed. Full-length albums. Deep cuts, I guess you could call it. I started with the new G n’ R record, Chinese Democracy. Then I pulled up Fire Of Unknown Origin by Blue Oyster Cult. Followers have been Whiplash Smile by Billy Idol and War by U2. I wonder what else will come up. Bowie? I haven’t listened to Outside in a really long time. That was released in the 90s, 1995. Right?
