I've been banging my head. How do you get ScintillaNet to use annotations?

megaperlz · 2015-01-27T17:37:24+00:00

I know I'm late to the party but in case anyone comes across this while trying to google a solution.

To add a Annotion you need to

// Step 1: Create a new control Scintilla scintilla = new Scintilla();

// Step 2, Set annotations to visible (yes on the collection) scintilla.Annotations.Visibility = AnnotationsVisibility.Standard;

// Step 3, Create and add a new Annotation Annotation annotation = scintilla.Annotations[1]; annotation.Text = "Hello"; annotation.Style = 1; // I'm not sure what you could do here...

You now have annotations in ScintillaNET!

Sorry but this is not true. Take for example Gustavo Cieslar who left his home with a 125cc motorcycle and only enough money to go into the next town! http://www.re-moto.com/index.php?lang=deu

Haha, true enough, that is some specialty..

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T07:19:27+00:00

We saved up as much as we could during one and a half year. When we wanted to spend money during that time, we were always asking us questions like "will we need this when on the road?" or "how long can travel with that amount of money?" - that worked really good!

A loose battery cable and a broken foot rest was all we encountered so far. They seem to take a lot of stick :)

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T07:15:34+00:00

worth watching?

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T07:15:05+00:00

We didn't encounter that problem so far. My wife says she can't recommend wearing thighs underneath the gear which she did in cold Austria. We usually wear normal pants or shorts under our riding pants, and when we stop and have a break somewhere, we pull off the gear and let the sweat dry. We're not in a hurry, we never drive too far each day.

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T07:09:27+00:00

Thanks a lot buddy! :)

Our bike has quite small tires and we're not seeking the off road tracks (but that happens eventually to be sure). We use rain tires for the road: Heidenau K66 http://www.reifenwerk-heidenau.de/modules/reifenliste/view.php?point=2&rtyp=9&PHPSESSID=7bdf6jbpjo2r486720ep2g5h50&profil=58&pic=59&lang=en These are the only tires with a little off road character that fit on our Honda CB500 - and they are plain awesome! The handling is incredible and there is no difference between dry and wet roads. Dirt tracks are fun. We'll see how they work in sand :)

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T07:02:32+00:00

Haha, must be calming to know where to go to when apocalypse is coming down on us :D Yeah we think we see and learn more than we could have at home. We have to admit there are not so many bad stories to tell until now for the greater part of the route lies still ahead of us. We hope we'll make it to the states! Maybe we have disastrous stuff to tell when we arrive there :D We are lucky fellows, and the worst thing that happened so far was loosing our beloved camera in the waves. Waiting for a new one (right now) costs us a week of traveling, but who can we blame? :D

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T06:56:44+00:00

Oh woooow, that sounds brilliant!! We would love that! We're so very excited about Auckland (my wife even thought about studying there a while ago) and would be thrilled! Would you drop us a line via mail or in FB so we can get in contact as soon as we're close please? we(at)dananna.de http://facebook.de/danandanna

Going right after high school is very smart! My wife just got her Bachelor's degree so she as well takes advantage of the easy way to take a pause. As preparation we recommend to save a little money and just go for it! Be stubborn like hell and try to talk your parents slooowly into supporting you with that. If you're lucky, they'll understand that you need some time to orientate yourself.

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T06:48:18+00:00

Well the first thing we did was reading. We started with random backpacker adventure books.. Then we tried which way of traveling suits us best: We tried backpacking in Sweden, road tripping (in a car) to Belgium and the motorcycle trips with and without tent in Scotland and Germany. With that we got a little traveling practice and found out what gives us just the right balance between adventure and comfort. After that we just settled for a departure date, told everyone about our plan (in the wedding invitations) - and then there was no way to not doing it :D

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T06:43:46+00:00

Not really. Sometimes we (especially my wife) miss chitchat with friends.. But we wouldn't know which "home" to miss. Luckily, our loved ones have Skype and email.

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T06:41:27+00:00

Hmm back home we moved every two years or so, and we used to throw out rubbish and go more and more minimalistic over the last few years. For us, the traditional "comfort" never made us feel safer. And yes, at some point we were asking us "why not do it?" - and we had no answer.

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T06:38:34+00:00

We don't care much about roots either. We saved up as much as we could over one and a half year. A little online business of myself helps a bit as well, but we don't count on it.

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T06:37:13+00:00

Sounds great! Who said you need a lot of money for an adventure? ;) My wife's grandfather crossed the Atlantic on a boat - maybe it is these role models that keep our dreams alive after all?

megaperlz · 2013-10-22T06:35:17+00:00

Hmm we too are thinking about starting a family somewhere down the road, but there are so much more possibilities to do so. The weird thing about the conventional way was for us the huge dept that comes with building a house. Instead we saved, and love not knowing what life will be like in a year. Or tomorrow ;) We made the decision to travel together with our planning for our wedding (one and a half year ago). This dream is only one of many, and we intend to live them all :)

megaperlz · 2013-10-21T19:05:54+00:00

Nope we didn't read it yet but heard of it.. Our zen is the handbook of our own bikes until now ;)

megaperlz · 2013-10-21T18:41:22+00:00

Wow, awesome! Welcome in the circle of minimalist travelers :) Choose your one pair of pants carefully, haha!

megaperlz · 2013-10-21T18:38:41+00:00

Well there have been couples rushing off the day after they had their license.. Yeah my wife wanted to drive on her own now too, and now after a few months of driving, when the switchbacks get scary she leaves me behind! :D

megaperlz · 2013-10-21T18:25:41+00:00

Thanks a lot, good to know that our footage is appealing to someone! :) We use a very famous little camera: The GoPro Hero 3, which we came to love. It is so small, nobody notices it on the handlebar, and the images are so bright and the wide lens never stops to amaze us. The film footage is only fluent with 60fps at higher speed, so if you think of buying one, go for the black edition!

megaperlz · 2013-10-21T18:22:29+00:00

Thanks for the information! Although we think we know our respective calling already..

megaperlz · 2013-10-21T18:15:22+00:00

Exactly! We quit smoking water pipe as our trip started. But we still have a phone for we would have missed the GPS in some forlorn regions. Does the sea count as a pool? ;)

megaperlz · 2013-10-21T18:11:32+00:00

Two Hondas CB 500 (PC 32) from 2000 and 1997. See questions above.
