After much thought, I find the only time I really seem to put coding time in on the application is when I'm on the Metra train it seems like. Due to this and Thanksgiving (required me to be on the metra ... and getting off at the wrong stop ... thank god for cellphones), I got random animation files done along with the base frame for Image to Animation. I do have some base code for how to do animated gifs and am building this into the code for the future. Right now it will just do static images. Will work same way as the Animation files where they will get resized to fit your board size, not the "default size" of 16 cols x 32 rows.

I do have one major issue of cross thread data accessing that I'm not totally sure how to defeat it be honest. Triggering an event doesn't seem to cause it to be able to access it without throwing the exception. still ... a stupid UI issue, not the meat of the application.

and I'm still working on getting my hands on a release build of Visual Studio 2005.

Hope you had a happy glutton day
