After a bit of a slow start as the marshalls were trying out a new game on us, we eventually got into full swing with a prison break. After that, marshalls got us going on the new game but slightly modified, but unfortunately not all went to play so we had to try it quite a few times. But then that is what Wednesdays are supposed to be - a bit of a social night, and a night to try out new games. After that we did a bomb the research lab with a twist (a doorbell which triggers a thermo explosion) which was quite fun, and at this point Hannah finally cheered up as she started killing people.

ComponentArt are really good. For those of you who don’t know, they make custom .NET controls. They’re well built, simple to use/program with and so on. In about 4 hours yesterday I managed to put together most of a drop down tree-view control using a demo they built (based on this) which is pretty cool. Just playing around with styles etc. now and should be finished hopefully at some point tomorrow.
So here’s thanks to ComponentArt!

So I had a blood test today, not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Last time I had a blood test was when I was in hospital with Appendicitis. It was a doctor that did it, so I didn’t have too much worry about it, but the doctor managed to spray blood all over me and the bed and himself from my arm… nice. That was definately cringeworthy. The nurse who did mine today was friendly, but I still dreaded it remembering the blood spray of days past.
My doc’s appointment was not as bad as I was dreading either yesterday, he was sympathetic and understanding and I explained everything the best I could. He said I should start feeling better in a couple of weeks, and I’ll be seeing him on 1st Feb for a check-up.

I hate it. It’s far too complex. MySQL is a nice simple query language (no pun intended), why can’t T-SQL be the same. It’s been fustrating me for hours. That’s all I have to say.
