Trip, Stuff, etc

Gettin ready to leave for Boston tonight. This trip has me all excited, looking forward to meeting all the mono guys, all for the first time.

It will be nice to be able to put a real face and a voice with all the names I have spoken to over email, irc, etc.

I am just thankful I get to go, considering how sick I was on Thursday. I love having a killer immune system, and the ability to live on nothing except cigarettes and ginger ale.

Just in case some of you were worried that the MD team was sitting on its hands waiting to put out this release, I have a nice screenshot for you all. Last night I played with our file loading system and some other pieces and was able to do two main things. First, you can now have seperate 'Views' for files (something #D had, but we took out initially). Second, instead of the standard Notebook widget, I went ahead and used my best friend, the GdlDock. This allows you to Dock the views like tabs, or however you would like. To illustrate this, I cooked up the ability to open an html file, and a web browser would spawn in another view. This browser stays up to date with what you are typing, so in effect it is a true WYSIWYG designer ;) (Note: in the screenshot I have hidden all the docks to give a smaller image)

Anyway, I think its a pretty cute feature, and it absolutely shows the power of Gtk# that something like this is doable in an evening.
