I’ve been writing…

...code that is! Yes, I've been working on my own little project for some time now. Here's a sneak peak of one small part of it I worked on just the other day that is still unfinished...

Now before you go and jump up and yell it's a scheduler / time management system, it's not! Hah. That's just a nifty one-day agenda thing to display some stuff that may or may not be scheduled for that day. How ambiguous.

Well then, I just wanted to let you know that displaying events that have conflicting times (concurrent events) is a PITA and requires what you might call preventative collision detection (for lack of better words). Normally events would be displayed one after another on a timeline, but if *any* times of a single event conflict with another event, one of the events is moved onto a new column. This process will go on and on until the loop can allocate enough space on the timeline to fit an event.

Now, back to real life and real (home)work.

Peter,

This looks great, what is this part of? I am assuming it is part of a project that you are working on with a team. This is pretty cool and I look forward to seeing it in action.

The goal is to be done by christmas.. but it's definetely not what anyone thinks it is an it doesn't have a practical use for most people, but it will be cool!
