TerminalCtl woes

So,

I'm working on a "Terminal" UserControl which acts like the graphical output control from
the Windows NT command-line interface-

cmd.exe

The only problem is- if it doesn't flicker, it completely distorts the contents of the text being shown,
or throws an Exception...

So, I'm having an associate of mine take a look at it, and hopefully we can come to some kind of
a solution without too much trouble.

I'll post the UserControl here under a BSD license once it's completed and is working properly.

C# and Threading: Oh joy!

I hate threading. So very, very much.

Threading and C#: An adventure where Murphy's law is sure to reem you in the ass.
So, for this project at work that I'm working on, it now involves threading at the .NET-level. OH YIPPY-FUCKING-SKIPPY! How wonderful that I get to introduce yet ANOTHER point of failure into my print client's architecture!!!!!!!

So, after a quick google search for C# gui threading, I found this article on Threading and WinForms. But one can only guess as to whether or not this will want to integrate properly with my project.

The sample project provided with it seems to work, so that's slightly encouraging.

Hello, World!

Hi everybody,

This is just an introductory blog post, to say Hi. More to come later though. I'm currently in the middle of finishing up an in-house printer management system written in C#.

This will be about as fun as having a tooth pulled.
