So myself and Adrian headed to see the Chemical Brothers at the Corn Exchange on Sunday, something I'd been looking forward to for months (though managed to totally forget about until two days prior). The gig was awesome, wrapping up on (amongst others) The Private Psychedelic Reel which is a personal favourite.

Myself, George and Fi are still homeless come the end of June, and it's getting to be panic-stations time. George is away home tomorrow, and Fi ain't back until Friday at some unspecified and likely unhelpful time of day. We've seen perhaps 15 flats so far, and through a combination of their not being suitable and their not being on the market any more we have signed the lease on 0 flats.

One of today's viewings was different; nice place, being repainted at the minute. Big lounge, 2 double rooms (suits George), top floor (suits Fi) and in Newington (suits me to the ground). Unfortunately the single room (which I would be inhabiting) was roughly the size of a Volkswagen Golf. Fitting a single bed and a desk in that room would have been a stretch, let alone a wardrobe. It's not off the cards yet; we could have the lounge be a (albeit large) double room and throw a beanbag or two into the 'single bedroom' (read: shoebox).

There's never enough technical content in these things of mine so I'll throw some in here. I swear, pretty much daily now, at the limitations of the Compact Framework. It's almost painful to use sometimes. Not only that, but designing a UI for a PDA when you've a lot of data to show is really quite challenging. Worthwhile when you make it work, but challenging nonetheless. However, having finally gotten past my hatred of the IDE's ability to outright lie to my face, the CF is falling back into my ambivalent books, if not good books.

The PictureBox does have a click event. Don't let the IDE fool you with its claims to the contrary.
