hhahaha,

That's funny, I seem to recognise all the names here !!

I know what you mean, I find that if I'm in a mood to program something but I don't have any projects pending I come here and look at other people's issues. Then just for the sake of learning, write an app to solve a problem, then paste the code.

The only way to learn is to DO, and I used not to have anything to write which is why I didn't learn...

but now !!!!

I still want to join a vb open source group, get some people together and build a few dlls with controls in them. I'm good in the areas I know but there are a lot of areas I don't know which is why I want to put my skills with others' to put some good componants together.

I've lookad at http://www.vbopensource.co.uk and the same site in the us sponsered by some xml group, but it's too formal for the structure and not formal enough for the methods...

ie. it needs to be open like this place so people can add things (have proper interacive ideas going, properly formatted vb-html code etc) and be more professional at the same time. they look like back yard jobs that are unreasonably strict on process (an odd combination).

maybe they are taking thems selves too seriously, but I wish them luck anyway, I'm all for vb opensource.

Well, that's my speil for the night, time to catch some zzzzzz's
