Family Visit Plans

Another big program done for my boss. It still needs to be tested, but I managed to finish it in four days - and that includes a new feature my boss wanted added - user defined pictures displayed on the dialogs. That took a full day. The good thing about it is that features that I would have said were impossible without a big program are now able to be found and implemented by me! Six months back, I had tried the same project of adding pictures and spent three or four days on it before my boss told me to move onto something more productive. Six months later? One day to find, implement, and test!

I know most of you aren't interested in my slowly advancing programming skills, so I'll move onto something a bit more family oriented.... MY SISTER IS COMING DOWN!!!! She is planning to visit sometime in August, and M seems set to come down. It's going to be cool! I guess she just can't get enough teasing from mom and dad - it's up to the master to properly tease and poke her! (Maybe not poke... she's can catch up to me and poke me back. Must be all that lifting at work... or I'm out of shape? Or both! )

I just hope that she has enough fun and see enough sites and enjoys my sophisticated and calm company enough that she is glad she came down. It's a bit nerve racking thinking that she would come all this way to visit and not have fun. :-(

But! Margaret is Margaret and she will do what she wants, and I hope you have fun! I'll see you in August!

And as official notice - Blue Springs this weekend. I am going to try snorkeling, and if my sister likes it enough, maybe she'll want to try it at a spring or the ocean.


A picture of me preparing to scuba dive, I wasn't quite ready for a picture, or I would have shown off my sculpted body a bit better. ;0)
