I had a truly GREAT B-day party. Ana did a great job getting everyone in my family there. We ate pizzas.
After everyone left I read from Bill Bryson’s “Walk in the Woods”. It was a lovely way to drift off to sleep.
Since then, I enjoyed a cigar in the backyard. Ah the moon on the banana . . . → Read More: 31

The latest version
Of course, if the link doesn’t work the Glassfish server is off or I’ve changed the version. But hopefully I’ll make it into an interesting Mock Congress simulation. I bet lots of students around the country would enjoy using it.
What would make it an exciting project would be to involve other smart students . . . → Read More: Mock Congress Revision

Wow, I love working on this damn computer.

Very interested in organizing a “Flea Market” event for the warehouse. Thought about a possible farmer’s market as well.
Possibly a plant sale? “Wholesale to the community!!!!” That’s a great idea!
Learning Java EE through a JavaPassion course. So far it’s very enjoyable.
Donated $100 to the reddit relief to Haiti drive. It’s Hell.

What have I been working on lately?
The “Bill Maker” for mock congress. I think it would be cool to have an entire mock congress online. Students would construct their bills. I’ve got this down pat.
Next they would upload their bills and the bills would be automatically routed to the proper committee based on their code. This . . . → Read More: Mock Congres Online

Tonight I’m playing with JSF and creating databases.� It’s pretty fun!
I called the homeowner’s association, but . . . → Read More: Planning for Economics; fixing my house up!

After discovering a great tutorial about Glassfish, I pleasantly found this JavaFX tutorial.� I am curious to at least give it a try this summer because JavaFX has always interested me and I’ve always wanted to program tetris.
It seems like my knowledge of Java and love of simple and fun video games may come together in . . . → Read More: JavaFX and Gaming
