C# in Visual Studio with mono and GTK# bindings, along with my essential oil purchase drool

10 July, 2007 01:20

I might have mentioned here before that I was contemplating developing a couple application ideas using C#..  Last weekend I started to dig into my shinny new C# book which had been sitting in a box for a good four months.  I am finally putting my VS 2005 license to some use, that of which I had no use for before.

Those who know me might have found it strange of me to use C# instead of a more established, or more portable I should say language.  My decision was mostly because of the mono project and it's GTK# bindings.  This will give me a couple choices when porting my applications to the platforms I use most often.

This is no small project.  These classes are extensive and HUGE, but I am confident I will get the hang of the GUI programming libraries, GDK included.  I have all the bindings installed in Visual Studio and am ready to go.  The last few days I have been reviewing basic structure and exploring some of the provided mono/system functionality.

 

I received my essential oils today, Frankincense, Bergamot, and Sage.  I have only purchased Sage once before, so the vial I had was all I had known about the aroma.  I purchased it at a co-op and I was rather disappointed when I realized I had been missing out on a good quality Sage.  What I do is mix 2:1 Bergamot to a little less than half Sage and diffuse it in a ultrasonic nebulizer.  Diffusing this blend helps make my day a little better.

The Bergamot smells delicious, literally.  I need to use up my batch I previously purchased, which I don't have much of.  That is a hard thing to do since a fresh new bottle of essential oil is like heaven.

The Frankincense essential oil I consider precious and I use very little of it at a time.  It is a powerfull resin with the ability to cross the blood brain bearior.
