[thevigilante]

grumble grumble one of these days i will actually become true to my word and update more than once every four weeks. Okay let's go:

Maybe you ARE lighting fast and will take over the world with just a foil! :O

[thevigilante]

I will FOIL your evil plans! (to come and steal my toys)

[gingervere]

Wow, living your dream, aren't you? Glad to hear it. :)

It ain't perfect, but it could be a lot worse!

A recruitment agent called me up the other day, I guess I was still on his database from way back when and he wanted to see if I was looking for work or whatever.

He asked me what I was up to, where I was, I told him I was working in Lymington. He asked me if it was alright to chat, I said sure, I'd just finished work.

"So you live by the sea, and you clock off at half past four? How's the travel?"

It was when I told him about my two-minute commute to work that I think he realised he wasn't going to get anything out of me :P

Holy physical fitness Batman, how do you get the energy to do all that exercise?

If you need any help with the Python, feel free to prod me :)

[thevigilante]

If I didn't have those rest days in between I would basically die!

I appreciate your offer! Do you have much experience with wxpython? I have a bit of a dilemma in a program I'm working on at the moment.

[nickmurdoch]

Hmm, I've not used wx before; I prefer PyQt myself; and I've used GTK's C API directly too. Try me, though :)

Okay, basically I'm making a round timer for boxing and such. When I hit the "go" button, my main app launches a window which counts down a "get ready" period before the real round starts. When this countdown finishes, the window closes itself. I then want another window to pop up which has the round countdown.

The problem I'm having is that at the moment the two windows pop up at the same time. There must be a way to use an event triggered by the closing of the first window to make the second one come up, I'm just not sure what it is.

Remind me never to try and beat you up.

Also, our move is a week and 3 days away. You are hereby commanded to attend at some point, and we will feed you. Probably best to wait until after we've bought a barbeque (though I've always fancied trying to make one out of an oil drum, I never did learn welding...)

We're trying to get Dan to come as well so we'll try and coordinate things. Yes.

[thevigilante]

This sounds like a fantastic idea, it'd be great to have a little reunion!

Do you have any idea when roughly you'd like to do this? My schedule starts getting busy soon, especially in mid-May when my girlfriend is coming over from America for six weeks. I would dearly hate to miss you guys!

[the_stony_1]

No plans yet, we need to unpack and stuff first :)

Bring her along, the more the merrier (to a point...). At last we'll actually have space to entertain so we might as well make the most of it!

[thevigilante]

That's great, I appreciate that! We'll revisit this idea in a few weeks' time, then.

[tyris_flare]

That all sounds amazing! I'm truly envious of both your ability to afford all those classes and your motivation and dedication to persevere with them! I'm currently pouring all my disposable into the sinkhole that is Magic: the Gathering. Le sigh...

[thevigilante]

Actually I only pay £40/month for everything apart from the fencing, for which money has not started being charged yet. The real cost is the time put in and the petrol to get there!

Glad to see you are still around, btw!
