BUS ADM 740 Blog

Manitowoc county has finally run out of salt.  I guess we are in the same situation as Milwaukee now.  It really sucks cause it has been raining here for the last 12 hours and everything is covered in a sheet of ice.  I can't believe that I still have power.  Being on the end of a branch instead of in a loop for electricity really stinks.  Always flickers and goes out at least a dozen times a year.

I had some extra time and finished the translator program so it works fairly decent.  Just got that J drive to work right on Vista.

Time to go.  Daytona is about to start.

This is the first blog I have ever written.  I got VB2005 working great for Vista.  There were no problems whatsoever by downloading the file from Microsoft.  Except it was about 6 gig and took 8 hours.  The J drive is another story.  I can get into the system, but Vista doesn't allow it to connect like it does for XP, so I can't upload a file at this time.

Hopefully getting the J drive to work is the last headache I'll have to endure before graduation.

With as easy as VB has become I can't believe more people aren't using it.  When I took my first class in Basic back in the late 90's, there was no automatic features.  Everything had to be hand written and organized manually.  There wasn't even any type of design screen to build the program or to see what you wanted it to look like.  Just like .html, it has gotten much easier as time passes.
