Project Work

NRK@UWM.EDU (ADMIN) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:59:18 GMT

The semester is just moving along and it finally coming to an end. The project seems to be progressing nicely but it will take some significant time to get it to perfection. This semester has gotten to crunch time and it seems that every class is the busiest when the weather is nice, which makes it really hard to actually focus on keeping up with homework. No matter how hard I try, there is always a way that I can procrastinate to do things till the last minute. Oh well only a few weeks left and then the vacation will be nice.

Oh yea!!!!

Almost one month left and I couldn't be more happy to see this semester end. We are rounding the corner and just have one more homework and the project as the big things to focus on. I can see already that my projects scope can be endless and I need to determine what is the most important data to include and what to leave out. I have started the design but have become very indecisive on how I want it to look, so many options and I can't choose on a permanent choice, oh well I'll figure it out.

Another Week... Still too cold

NRK@UWM.EDU (ADMIN) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 15:49:05 GMT

So for this week we are moving more into working on our project and I am really interested to see how to fully implement the web service feature into a program, granted I haven't had any time to try it as of yet but I am eager to see how it works. Besides the hype of the NCAA tournament I have found that the other big news going around lately has been the weather. I think my hatred for this weather has grown to annoying levels, all I want to do right now is go outside and do something but instead I get to sit inside or stay at work longer and wait for april 15th. All I know is I guess I can be glad that it is not nice outside because then concentrating on school and work would be even harder to do.

Who wants to go to Florida?

Spring Break should have been called late winter break. I am ready for spring for real.

At a Loss

NRK@UWM.EDU (ADMIN) — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 20:50:25 GMT

So I really can not think of anything useful, important, or interesting to add to the blog this week. This week is filled with exams and me thinking Im getting sick. The bright lining I see is that we are nearing one month away from tax return deadlines, which means I wont have to work so damn much anymore. I guess spring break could be something to look forward to, it means that week I can forget about school and do twice as many returns, SOUNDS LIKE A BLAST!

dont forget to file, April 15th is coming quick!

Help me Find a Word

Today has marked a sad day for all wisconsin residents, Brett Favre has announced his retirement...

Let us all remember the good times we had watching him and hope that the packers can find a new identity without him, it will be hard. ha ha

So I like that we have a week time frame to do the quiz, tests are so much better when you are not rushed and can take it when you please. If we are still meeting for class tonight does anyone know what the topic will be? Is there going to be a little review at all tonight in class?

March is Coming

NRK@UWM.EDU (ADMIN) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:05:03 GMT

Is it just me or has this week been filled with bad luck for everybody, maybe its just me... I came to the conclusion that I have had enough of winter and am anxiously waiting spring, or maybe just march because at least then it will be a new month and hopefully not as gloomy as february. It was a refreshing change to come to class without having to battle a snowstorm.

Im liking that the class is progressing quite nicely and we are starting to move into more complex concepts. It is interesting to see how many different ways you can use to come to the same result and have so many options to cater to your personal preferences. The only issue I see with this is that undecisive people will always be battling with the problem of what style will suit them best.

That really isn't necessarily a bad thing though.

BRING ON SPRING!!!!

Cold as ...

NRK@UWM.EDU (ADMIN) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:35:21 GMT

Im surprised that we are not going to get a winter storm warning for class tonight. We have had one the last two weeks and I was almost hoping to see how many weeks in a row that the winter storm warning would fall on a tuesday. I feel kind of let down by this, if the weather is going to be a pain it might as well load it on and go for breaking the snowfall record, I think we have only 20 more inches to go before the end of winter.

So in an effort to coax another big storm I have a picture that is very fitting...

ENJOY!

Partition Magic

NRK@UWM.EDU (ADMIN) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:38:23 GMT

So this past weekend I noticed that my hard drive partition that holds windows on it was getting a little full so i decided to get a partition program to try and resize that partition. The lucky program that I decided on was Partition Magic( Don't really know why that one, maybe it was the "Magic" in the title). It said it could resize partitions without destroying any current data, but I would soon find out that is not always the case. So after going through the steps I got to a point where the program decided to freeze and the computer restarted. What I had once the computer was up and running again was a resized partition and my second partition completely gone.
I then got a recovery program to try and get back those files but every one i got can't label the found files correctly, it just gives it a generic name. I'm still looking for a solution that I want but am slowly coming to the realization that I may have lost everything. Has anyone else ever had this happen and found a good solution?

Oh how the Patriots have failed...

NRK@UWM.EDU (ADMIN) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:53:10 GMT

With the Packers out of the superbowl after such a loss to the giants, I thought that there would be no way that I could pick a team to root for in the superbowl. In my book, the patriots are cheaters and will always have that stigma. I just couldn't take the bragging that Bill belichick would do if he won and had a perfect season. I guess this idea is what made me root for and stand behind the Giants. As much as I don't like the way that Eli Manning plays and his Whiny demeanor, I hated thinking of the after game press conference and Belichick's bragging more. In the end the better team won, GO GIANTS!!!

On a class note, Its good to see that the university finally decided to finish the deal with microsoft so we can get the visual studio package. It is so much easier to work from home and I am glad that we don't have to buy the cd and can just download it, saving everybody a lot of hassle and money.

First Entry

NRK@UWM.EDU (ADMIN) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:52:20 GMT

Seeing as how this is my first entry in a blog, I find myself at a loss for what to actually post in it. I have read other people's blogs in the past but have never got the urge to make one myself. I am still waiting for the visual basic link like everybody else and am interested in what kind of programs we will actually be able to make in this class.

I guess I will just wait for the link and take it from there...
