I dunno if it's old age or doing Web development only for the last 12 months...
But my home work on a (kind of original) WPF control is... so slow...
Worse than that, I got stuck somewhere and I had to save my self by digging some control I wrote (which I found painful to write from scratch now!  )
Anyhow, this is a new concept, I call it: The MenuTabItem
It's like the Office2013 ribbon: you don't know when it's closed, maybe it's a Ribbon, maybe it's a Menu?
Well in the case of the Ribbon it's a Ribbon.
With my control, the MenuTabItem, each tab could be different!  One tab can drop a Ribbon, while an other tab drop a Menu!
What da ya think?
Might end up on CodeProject too! ^^

Not yet, as I said the work is going slowly... 
Hopefully I got something next weekend! ^^

So start it now (while it's fresh in your mind) and continue it as you go. I find that writing it up concentrates the mind wonderfully, and even points out the flaws pretty well too...

OK, I will heed your advice!
But it's 1:11AM here, so maybe another day!

I have actually found codeproject to be an excellent place to store your code, and it forces you to make some documentation as well

That's why I have so many Tips!

61!!! That's a lot 
On the plus side, there weren't any dirty videos a la Marc...

Tips don't take long to "bash out" - and they force me to think about the code, so they help improve the quality of my unpublished code as well.
My mucky movies are posted elsewhere, under other names...no, that's a lie: I'm far too dull to do Gentleman's Special Interest vids. Plus Herself would kill me...

Videos that are home made is "harder" to watch, as I often feel like they are sort of reading to you. Much stuff in a short space, while professional videos is much *bling* and less content.

Tell me about it. Some of the articles I have written have taken quite a while to finish, perhaps upto a month or two.

...and that's without the time on the code behind them either. I find it takes a heck of a lot longer to write the words. That's probably why the wannabees annoy me when they post "hello world" or copy something good from t'interweb...

Yes, but I remember when the interweb didn't exist.. Given everything I'd say its mostly a plus, but some people should not get it until they master some basic things first.

Linky no worky - "paste truncation" bug again: This, I assume[^]
Nah, that's not plagiarism (according to many, many article "writers") - it's "improved"

Hey, come on! That's hardly realistic, is it? Herself watches CSI and every hotel in Vegas is chock-full of corpses!

Ah, one more thing. Today is the 12 year anniversary of my very first article[^]!
But enough about me today. How's it going with everyone else?

Peachy.
Fixed Herself's dress watch (and even managed to close the stupid thing, with the help of a vice and lots of padding) sliced the Sous Vide beef joint I did yesterday for tonight's supper without the cat getting his nose / paws / teeth involved, fixed a couple of small bugs, added a bunch of features that I've been sitting on for a while, read a book. Picked Herself up from work, the water hasn't gone off (yet - it did Friday, Saturday, and Sunday dues to "separate water mains faults" that just happened to all be within 20m of each other), haven't had any accidents (yet), nothing broken (yet), and herself isn't swearing at the TV (yet).
Pretty good so far, considering!

Happy anniversary Marc and know that you have made a difference.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!
