Hello.
I am sorry for not keeping up with this, I have been busy getting ready for school. I have been up there a lot lately. It is a half hour drive, it's getting pretty framiliar. The first time I went up, Dad took me up because he had work in Bloomsburg. I walked the campus for 40 minutes, trying to get feel for it. Then I went up to buy a textbook wendsday. Finally I was up there yesterday. I printed the orientation schedule up, and it said that I had to pick up my id at 6pm. I went up and there was a very VERY long line. I went up to someone in charge and told them that I already had the orientation feature that they were doing at my previous school. She said to just go in in pick up my car. So I cut the line and walked to the front and asked for my ID. They said they didn't have transfer student's ID cards, that I could pick it up across campus the first day of class. So I wasted over and hour and 5 dollars in gas. I'm looking forward - sort of - to the first day of class. I'm still a bit nervous. I was never nervous at Central Penn, maybe because it was small, I knew the professors before my first day, and parking was a piece of cake. Parking here at bloomsburg is awful. I intend to park about 3 miles from the campus and take the School's shuttle bus to the campus.
Tomorrow is my last saturday that I work at lowes, from then on I will only work tues & thurs 6am - 4:30 pm - 20 hours a week compared to my current 30. It has been the track record of the weekend shift to give a person the hardest job when they know they are leaving. I didn't tell them until last week for that reason. Human Resources knew, but my immediate supervisor didn't.
I have been working on my program MP3 splitter. I have been promoting it, and it has really taken off. I have had over 14,000 downloads. I am working on some new features, I'd like to get a bigger user base. It's just a pride thing I guess because I don't charge for the software, I give it away, but I just like to see how many peopl use it.

I would appreciate prayer going into this school. As my friend's dad put it: "I have never seen so many woman dressing like street walkers" It is bad there, I hope to make good friends, along with the ones that I already have from church that go there.
I guess that's It, I'll try to do better, but it may be harder when school starts...we'll see.

Hello all,

I just got back from the library, their internet had been non-functional for a few days. After about four hours of work it is working. I broke down and called tech support. I never would have guessed the solution, but it worked.
A friend from church who has been taking nurse aid classed was impressed with the amount of paper work they do for the patients, keeping track of their vitals. He asked me to write a PDA program that did the same thing. I did. This program allows the nurse(aide) to record the patients vitals, and review them later, send them to a server for data entry, or beam them to another nurse's PDA. There is probably no commercial value in this since selling such important software to hospitals or nursing homes would be pretty hard for a on man opperation like me. so why do I even bother? I knew from the beginning that nothing would come of it, but I have learned a lot about PDA programming. Enough so that I think I will purchase the software I used to create this program. The Standard version is $25, the Pro is $50, and an add on component that will be neccesary for desktop syncronization will be another $30. So for around $100 I can start creating quality PDA software. :)
I think I'm going to make a homework tracking program.....and sell it to other students. :)
