Chilly workspace, cool Silverlight

I decided tonight to work on the little project I started over the weekend, involving my first genuine attempt at working with Silverlight. Even though it's two years old, I don't use my desktop enough, despite its four-core awesomeness. Seriously, the big cheese grater is still pretty ridiculous.

But it's damn cold down here. I love this room and its huge windows, but when the sun isn't out, or it's winter, it gets so cold. My fingers are actually cold. My legs are covered in a blanket, and my feet are still cold. I'm freezing my tits off!

Anyway, my little file uploading thingy has really come along. It has progress bars and all of that too. I'm pretty excited about it. I feel like Silverlight has the potential on the client to deliver what many thought Java would do back in the day. The two-way binding action between objects and UI is too awesome for words. Love the full network stack in there too. I'm compelled to try and write a chat app some time. That would be pretty neat.

I need to crawl into bed with my warm companion...

Sounds like you need a Snuggie.

Hahahahaha. Diana and I saw that the other day and thought it was hilarious.

Anyone else seeing the "warm mouse" ad in the side bar? That's funny!

Snuggies are backwards robes! Don't cave!

As for the warm mouse... I'm intrigued.
