This is the story of how the most annoying program was born.
It all started today while I was working on my UI design for the Room Finder and other programs. After a few hours of picking colors and changing variable names I got bored. At this time I happened to be listening to music and the beat kept telling me to animate some progressbars sort of like a visualizer.
So I set out putting a basic program together. I set everything up and marveled at my beautiful masterpiece.
But I wanted more. So I added sliders (great tv show from the 90's btw).
But I still wasn't satisfied so I decided to add another shape: Circles!
Finally, my hunger for animated colors had been satisfied but I was left wondering what to do next. That's when it hit me! Animate the program itself. Why force it to sit in one place when it can be free and live wherever it wants!
So now that my little program was happily bouncing around my screen like a small child on a sugar rush the next logic step was to let it chose it's own size.
As I watched my creation bounce around and change its form I began to feel a fatherly connection it. What good father would let his son come to harm? So I protected my creation from death, disabling it from being closable and hiding it from the taskbar. Now my little one was safe to roam for ever!
And there you have it, that is how the most annoying program was born!
