It's been a really busy last few days, but what's strange is that I really can't recall why. lol. Life has just sorta been whizzing by.
I've done some more work shoring up the last debugger feature I plan to do for this release. It involved structured exception handling and signal processing, so it was a rather interesting project. I think it'll be well received in some circles. :-) It was also mostly just a technology experiment to see how well the framework can handle hardware exceptions. Since it seems to handle them well enough, it paves the way for other interesting debugging features as well. Yay!
I had some very interesting discussions with Mars about the idea of implementing COM objects in REALbasic via some sort of proxy system. I've got a lot of good ideas, now I'm just waiting for the language to implement some of the constructs I need in order to accomplish that goal.
My doors and trim should be arriving this afternoon, which means I've got more work ahead of me in the basement. I still haven't finished painting yet because I've been a total lazy-ass. It's hard to work up the energy to go down into the basement and do a bunch of work when I know I'm just going to be moving in a few months anyway. This is one project I wish I hadn't started. But, it's too late to turn back now, so onward I go with it. Just not with much enthusiasm.
I haven't had the chance to play much WoW lately, so my hunter is stuck on lvl 45. I'm hoping to have a bit of time to correct that this weekend.
I got my new electric razor yesterday (the Braun Activator that everyone was a-twitter about) and it's pretty damned nice. It shaved my beard off really easily, and once my skin is used to an electric razor again, I think it'll be really awesome. Right now I just feel tingly after using it. :-P
Well, time to get back to work. I hope everyone has an awesome weekend! I know mine will be filled with paint. Yee haw.
Lucky you.
I know exactly how you feel about painting.
My wife runs a small painting company and I help sometimes. I dont like it either but she makes good money doing it so I go help out evenings and weekends.
We painted an entire house last weeked (48 hours between the two of us over 2 days)
Did you put in a drop ceiling or fixed ceilings ?
Got flooring down ?
If there's no celing and floors then you can really buzz through it.
Have fun !
I've got fixed ceilings, and I can't spray because of em. And the floor comes after the trim, which comes after the paint. So I can buzz through it, but I just hate painting. LoL
Moving? Did I miss a blog entry?
I'm glad to see you back, I was getting paranoid you had suffered some unexpected fallout from the Great NUG/Forum Debate of 2007.
Yeah, I have to move because Lis is getting into grad schools all over the country. So sometime in the next few months, I have to pack up and move out. As for the fallout.. I haven't caught anything. I'm just keeping my mouth shut. :-)
Keeping your mouth shut? Now theres a first!
You could spray fixed ceilings.
Are they stippled (pop corn, knock down etc) or flat ?
Flats are easiest to spray.
You just have to do a good job taping things off if you want different colors on walls and ceilings.
Spray the ceilings then tape them off (take you time and do it really good) thnd you can use light weight poly to cover them when you spray the walls.
Stipple is harder to tape off BUT if you cut in with a 2" brush (do at least 2 coats) and then tape to cover a stippled ceiling you can still spray.
It's faster to apply the paint with a sprayer but requires a lot more set up than rolling. Rolling is more physical to put on but with good tunes and a person or two to help out its not so bad (it sucks doing it alone)
Wife pretty much rolls everything and then does touch ups again after dorrs, basebards etc are in as the walls always get banged up putting all the doors and trim in.
