hola
Lacy, Robert P.
lolsup
Collins, Monica P.
Next time you're up, detour by here
Lacy, Robert P.
hmm
Collins, Monica P.
I think that I've had a slight change of mind. I think that the 1st pgm I'll attempt will be a C# to read my iTunes' XML (1/2 of what I originally planned). Next will be to an attempt to create a WebOS pgm that will read a file that #1 spits out; at the same time, I'll modify the C# to spit out that file. From there, I'll pick up the old list: 3) create pgm to read my HDs and list out music there; 4) modify C# to read list from #3 as well as #1, comparing the two lists and displaying differences. After all of that, trying to convert that PalmOS Progect to WebOS should hopefully be a bit easier.
What think you, too ambitious?
Lacy, Robert P.
a tad yes
i wouldnt even attempt the webos part
the xml reader seems fine, even the one to read drive contents
Collins, Monica P.
oh, come on, don't say that
i want to be able to look at my entire list, wherever. (big sigh) So, do you have an alternative suggestion?
Lacy, Robert P.
hmm
needs some though
t
Collins, Monica P.
you're supposed to encourage, not squash under the heel of your shoe.
Lacy, Robert P.
its not going to do any good if you are overwhelmed, and even just reading that made me overwhelmed lol
Collins, Monica P.
which book did you use?
Lacy, Robert P.
that very first one i sent
the web programming with c# in 21 days book
Collins, Monica P.
o. I've got 'Practical Palm Pre WebOS Projects' for the webOS.
Plus I have O'Reilly's 'Palm WebOS'
Lacy, Robert P.
i se
Collins, Monica P.
Like I said, I tried to order every book that I'd need for the next couple of years lol.
I've gotten behind in my studying the last couple of weeks, so I think that I'm going to try and take off before and after Memorial Day.
Lacy, Robert P.
i hate buying the books though, the tech is outdated too quickly :( bought some .net 3.5 books.....net 4 gets released 7 months later lol
Collins, Monica P.
lol
yeah, but how late did you wait to buy the 3.5 books?
Lacy, Robert P.
pretty late
Collins, Monica P.
ah, well, that's your own damned fault then, isn't it lol?
Lacy, Robert P.
i suppose
Collins, Monica P.
I want to have C# under my belt by the end of this month.
It had occured to me a few days ago that I might try starting my pgm while I am going through the book, using what's in the particular chapter to get mine further along.
I might have a workable whatnot by the time I get to the last page lol.
Lacy, Robert P.
nice
Collins, Monica P.
oh, now I'll have to do that, since it got that kind of reaction out of you.
Collins, Monica P.
I just had a weird idea
Collins, Monica P.
I was thinking of going ahead and installing Visual Studio on my home PC. Since I spend so much time in front of it, I figure that I might be more inclined to actually work on coding if it were there. As it is, not only do I have to interrupt whatever has captivated me on the blue behemoth, I also have to get the other device out, set it up, etc. My only concern is where to store my programs. It just hit me: instead of storing it on some flash that I have to rut around for and possibly lose, I can store them on my phone.
Collins, Monica P.
hey
Lacy, Robert P.
sup
Collins, Monica P.
did you see my prev msg?
Lacy, Robert P.
ya
sup
Collins, Monica P.
Just wondered what you thought.
Lacy, Robert P.
hmm, depends...for instance here is how i deal with it
i have my big pc on my desk....and when i am there i am more inclined to play than actually work
Collins, Monica P.
same here
Lacy, Robert P.
so when i work on my personal site, i copy the solution files onto a usb, take the laptop to the living room and do it in the couch
big pc offers too many distractions
Collins, Monica P.
lol
DVR is in the living room. So, not only can I watch what I've recorded, as I can in my BR, I can also delete what's been watched. Never mind, it was just a passing thought.
Lacy, Robert P.
hmm
yea thats the rule, when im in the living room with the laptop, tv stays off
i might have pandora playing on the laptop...but thats it
pure silence
Collins, Monica P.
I had three TVs on yesterday: BR, WR and LR
Pure silence bothers me, it seems. After some time, I have to turn on the TV.
Lacy, Robert P.
hmm
