Sometimes I hate “the cloud”, and other times I love it. One thing I really love about the cloud is that it is more often than not just storage with no actual computing. This makes it much nicer when web sites try to hide data from you, because they simply put the data in the… Continue reading Hacking Data from Web Sites

Frank’s Dogs
Graham had heard all about “Frank’s Dogs” from a bunch of friends that were raving about them. Kim had raved to Graham, “The best hotdog you’ll ever taste!” And that was probably the worst thing Graham had heard. But the county fair didn’t come around more than once a year, and this time, Graham was… Continue reading Frank’s Dogs

Yes – I’ll do just about anything to avoid dropping down to the command line if possible. Finally I… Continue reading Using GitHub in MonoDevelop
Code Completion Quirk with Stetic and GTK# in MonoDevelop

I struggled to figure out just how to span columns in a table as searching for information didn’t really work out very well. Instead of setting properties on the table, you set the properties on the widget as it inherits a… Continue reading Spanning Columns in a GTK# Table
OpenTK, GTK#, GLControl, and GLWidget
Sigh… So I’m banging my head against the wall trying to get a GLControl working in a GTK# project in MonoDevelop… Not gonna work. The GLControl inherits from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl, so you basically end up resorting to exactly what you wanted to avoid in the first place by using GTK#, i.e. Windows Forms. Here’s an image… Continue reading OpenTK, GTK#, GLControl, and GLWidget
