UI Development Quiz

So what are you doing, listening to, watching or thinking about as you create a mod ( give a example if you can )

mine for example, everytime I've decided to change something in my Persona\Character mod I have been listening to "Radar Love" on LP ( yeah I've no taste ). That song is the only thing going through my head while I work on the mod.

As for the reason of this quiz... I dunno, would be interesting to see what inspires other mods.

Umm.. YAH.. that pretty much sums it up for me also!

I do like to listen to Internet Radio station Tormented Radio http://www.tormentedradio.com/
It makes for good background when layers deep in any sort of complex operation. I have to have quiet, or some sort of just 'noise' in the background, the sort of music that gets in your head, but doesn't really 'engage thought'.

As far as motivation for the EQ2 mods I did...
that's simple.. they all started with an

" I wonder if I can do ... "
At which point I start digging, and typically don't come up for air until it's done.
The Performance Panel mod, for saving custom display settings, was my very First Mod, and I knew NOTHING about eq2 interfaces, UI builder, or XML for that matter.
Hell after that everything else was just play.

Right now I'm trying to teach myself C# and Visual Studio 2003, to hopefully be able to take the MCSD exams, and change job fields sometime in the next few years. Needless to say, I've got my work cut out for me.

C# is hard if you dont already have a good background in OOP, which I didnt
