…just another hippy blog

a notE tO myselF: taking a coffee late at night is a really bad idea if you have broadband Internet access.

And now a <ul> of thoughts:

• i’m missing muffins. seriously. one pound dubliner triple chocolate muffins.
• guinness. export guinness simply ain’t like irish guinness. maybe it’s just the green of the irish moors or the beauty of traditional celtic music or maybe i was to drunk to remember the real taste of irish guinness.
• i love google earth. i could spend days flying around the globe. but it seems like i’ve missed the latest release. well, this means that i know what i will be doing tomorrow evening. before my daily attempt to take over the world.
• it’s nap time (R)

A story about expensive cars, girls in bikini and… ratts!… a website.
 

Monday, 29th January 2007, 10.32pm U.T.C. (one hour later here in Italy, several hours later or earlier on Omicron Persei 8…).

I won’t forget this date so easily. Well, ok.. I will forget it pretty soon, but I won’t forget the time spent to write the new website for The OSDaB Project. To be honest, I’m one day late as to my schedule, but I am not going to change the date in the news page or in the 152143 file releases I’ve uploaded to sourceforge.

If you really want to know what The OSDaB Project is about, just visit the website or google.

Easy, what? Almost as easy as voting Bush just because you like driving your SUV in the city. Because that’s what SUV’s are for, right? Driving on nice straight plain and clean city roads.

Now back to the bikinis.

42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything. But today’s question is: "why do I hate wxWidgets?"

Nevertheless, there are some topics I really wanted to talk about. Please take some advice and don’t blame me if I’m being cynical one more time.
That’s the way I am

Today’s subject: wxWidgets
Abstract: wxWidgets suck
Conclusion: I won’t touch wxWidgets again

wxWidgets is one of the most complete and interesting cross platform GUI frameworks. Btw. there should be another name for this kind of libraries, as they do far more than just GUI components.
This is why I should not say they "suck"… in fact, there’s a few things I really don’t like in wxWidgets.

PS: I will take the latest stable release into account in this post: 2.8.0, released 2006-12-12.
