Reasons Why 2010 is Going to be Sweet

Reasons Why 2010 is Going to be Sweet
  1. I have NO PLANS for this year -- that means I have no idea what's going to happen!  NONE!  I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!  This is awesome!
  2. School is out for at least 8 months!  Hello, free evenings!
  3. I'm currently only working 3 days a week at GOJO!  Hello, free weekdays!
  4. Alabama is going to win another National Championship!  Yeah, I said it!
  5. I might be going to graduate school.  This means I'll at least be working toward a masters or doctorate.  One of my dreams is to be a college professor, and this would be one more step to get there!
  6. I'm going to start another business.  I'd tell you what it is, but it's secret squirrel stuff.  This time around, I'll have more time to put effort into it.
  7. I have a great family and wonderful friends to help me out!  You guys rock!
  8. There are other reasons, but... ehh... I gotta go get ready for the OSU game.  I have people coming over, and I don't want my place to look like a pigsty.
Happy New Year!

Wedding Prediction - October, 2013

Carla and I are planning on getting married sometime in October next year.  We need to pick a date, and that decision may  involve some science and mathematics.  :) For example, we want the weather to be nice.  To be more precise, we'd like the high temperature for the wedding day to be between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.  Obviously, we have both lived in Ohio our entire lives, and we have a pretty good idea of what the weather will be like.  We both hypothesised that October was a "hit or miss" sort of month; it could be cold, or it could be nice. But, for me, a simple hypothesis was not enough; I really wanted to know the probabilities of decent weather based on historical weather data.  Many websites on the Internet (i.e. almanac.com) charge you to review historical weather data, but Carla and I discovered a cool page on cleveland.com that provided exactly what we wanted.  I loaded the historical temperature data from 1903 to 2011 f...

Web Browsers You Should Support

As a web developer, generally speaking, you should consider supporting the following browsers (at the time of this writing): Chrome (latest) - the browser that sets the bar for the others; you should be using it and supporting it Internet Explorer 9+ - the browser that finally caught up with the times a bit; basically, a Chrome wannabe.  I still say that IE sucks... even if it really doesn't anymore.  Yes... I'm sour about IE8 and below. Internet Explorer 8 - the old, sad browser that we sadly still have to support for a while.  CSS 3 is not well-supported here, so we use projects like CSS3 PIE or whatever.  By the way... IE8 sucks.  I can't wait until this comes off of the list. Firefox (latest) - the browser that was once awesome and has sadly suffered recently because it's slower than Chrome... but hey, lots of people still use it. Safari (latest) - Watch out for Safari as more iPhones, iPads, Macs, and more overly-priced Apple products flood the ...

BallWorld Screen Saver

Overview: My last Java programming assignment for my class at the University of Akron was called "BallWorld."  Its details can be found here .  I will not post any source code here, but I will post an executative JAR file that will run the screen saver.  Anyways, the final project of the BallWorld project was kind of cool, so I modified it a little bit to make a pretty neato screen saver.  You can download the project here:  BallWorld.zip .   The zip file contains a .JAR, an .EXE, and a .JOB.  The JAR file should execute the screen saver on any operating system.  The EXE file works only on Windows.  The JOB (Windows Task Scheduler) file can be used to automatically run the EXE file after a specified amount of computer idle time. Details: The EXE file was created using a program called Launch4j .  Launch4j simply takes a JAR file and converts it into a Win32 EXE.  Obviously, this destroys platform-inde...
