Musings and Future Plans

So busy. The last two weeks have been mad busy with both Torque and real-life job. However everything culminating in my Operations interview is complete, which means now I can finally relax and do some other work.

I've released the skinned progress bar and skinned button as-is for the moment while I work on some other projects, as their main functionality is completed and just need a few tweaks and additions (next up is changing the progress bar to allow for vertical bars as well as horizonal ones).

With the moving of a few things in my apartment, I am halfway completed having a permanent office here. It will pretty be much my domain, as I've already put a lock on my door. The room is my place to meditate and work on my Torque project without any other distractions, along with stuff around the room that will get my juices flowing. My father was cool enough to build me a huge CD rack that spans most of the wall by the window, so pretty much anything I want that I have on disc is now accessible to me.

The current list of Torquey things is growing fast, but there is some overlap, thankfully.

Skinned Textbox: A skinned box that works like a normal text edit box but with a skinned background.

Skinned Combobox: Skinned combobox, pretty simple.

Skinned Buttoned Toggler: I literally have no name for this one. Basically, it's bitmap that shows weither or not a certain button is being held down. This is mainly for a specific project I'm working on that uses a controller. ie: It shows a graphic of the button and shows a depressed graphic when the button is being held down.

Incredible Edible State Toggle Button: As per old .plan, button that changes graphic depending on the button's value.

However first, less than a week until I know if I got the promotion, which will give me sensible hours to let me actually work on my own stuff, as well as extra pay. Woo!
