I'm alive - e.g. I'm back home now. Traffic sucked on I-64 and I95 when I was coming home. Traffic was backed up, impeding my
way home. Well, at least I came home safely. Tomorrow, college starts. Arg. I'm feeling a bit dizzy from the rides I went on at
Busch Gardens. The effect is still going, but not very major. Weird thing is that I didn't feel dizzy when I was driving home, but
when I sit in a chair... Wow, it feels like I'm losing my balance. Well, I need to get some massive rest. Too much driving for me
for my vacation.

I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that I couldn't get all the projects for my website to be completed
before school started. I attribute it to my work (full time) and all those miserable annoying personal life chores. So this means
that my hopes for completing the rebate program will now go into September or longer. Editorials are still not written. So what's
the good news? It's for me, as I'm taking an impromptu vacation right before my college starts. Visiting a friend and enjoying the
time at a theme park. Hopefully, I'll come back in one piece. Well, I have to go now and get ready to pack up and leave. I'll be
back Sunday night. Hopefully.

I have started working on the program coding once again. Right now, I'm going going through the GUI coding and make sure that
everything is set before I start to integrate the base code into the GUI so that everything works. I expect that it should be
finished by the end of today.

Seeing that I'm less than 1 week away from going back to school, I do not know if I can finish off anything anymore before I go
back to college. Especially my rebate tracking program. Time just flies by when I'm busy with other things. So many things to take
care of, yet so little time on my hands. I have yet to even lay my hands on the program's codes at all. It's getting a little too
long for me not getting exposed to my rebate coding. I shouldn't have too much to do Monday night after work, so I should be able to
touch my rebate program once again. Hopefully. If I were to finish the program off, it'll probably look mediocre. But let's see if I
manage to squeeze in cosmetic development with the short time I have.
I'm pretty sure going to school 4 days a week, working while I go to school part time, I'll barely have time to do anything else.
The first two weeks, I school shouldn't be bugging me with a lot of assignments, but beyond that time frame, I'll expect that my
contributions to my website will drop quickly to rock bottom.
I'll have to see what I can whip up in this last week before college begins.

Let's just say I got too busy and caught up in the moment with life right now. I never had the chance to program over the two days
that I have off from work. I made the headline news at Broadband Reports. The news
here, titled Redefining 'Unlimited', subtitled
'Please don't cross this invisible line'. The original thread that started all
here.
Over the next few days, I'll try and make up the loss of work done over the last couple of days that I should've accomplished. Time
to get some rest and embrace later today and the next and so forth. Life doesn't get any easy does it?

I feel so tired to program right now. My eyes can't stand looking at the computer screen much longer. I guess I'll have to hold
off till Thursday and Friday to start programming again, as I'll be tired coming home from work all the way up until Wednesday night,
so Thursday it is to start programming again. I shouldn't be far off finishing the program. It just needs the core code integrated
and a nice interface design which I'm currently working on. Well, off resting as I go, to prepare for another round of work
tomorrow.

Tonight, I don't think I'm going to have time to code the program. I need to read and clean out all these magazines that I've been
receiving since last year. They've been collecting dust and what not. So tonight, I'm going to go through them. Two priorities have
been reprioritized to accommodate a guest coming to stay at my house tomorrow. I've been using the guest room to store my stuff if
you get the hint. My room is pretty much stuffed right now, so I have no choice but to read them. Sigh.

Looks like this week is a temporary dip down in my working hours. I am going back to my original schedule to work 5 days this
upcoming week. So programming my project may be scarce, but I'll try to get stuff done. I have done the configuration interface.
I'm actually finished, except that I didn't like how it is. I'm thinking about splitting it, but I think I'm going to leave it as is,
as I have no other options to configure the program to do. But it'll be worked out soon enough. Well, I gotta chill for a little bit
and then get some rest as I'm back at work tomorrow.

Well, I'm glad to say that I'm finally done with the rebate form interface. Every option is inserted here, there, everywhere. The
form to fill out is filled with many options. The program's interface is about half way done. I have several more interfaces to go
through. Like the configuration interface and fixing up the main interface, as it's kind of there, but isn't fully done yet.
I won't be able to program again until sometime Friday. Thursday, I'll be working once again, and I'll be getting home late, so
there won't be any program, since I would be exhausted from work. No more energy to program afterwards. My aunt and cousin will be
flying up here later today, so that's a warm welcome. But that'll mean that time spent with them will be a lost in time programming
or doing other things. Another addition in losing time is that I'm finally getting a Sony Playstation 2. It should be arriving to me
this Friday. I'll messing with it for some time, since I have 7 games sitting here collecting dust, itching to try it out. I've
bought 7 of these games since they were on sale, and they're all old games.
It's getting closer to college's fall semester, and I've been mostly busy all summer long. No time to read a lot of magazines
I've been getting, no time to do editorials for my website, no time to play games. I hope I can squeeze some of these things in before
school starts again.
What to program next in my program on Friday? It looks like I will be working on the configuration interface. That's another time
consuming layout design to work on. So far, I've been working on designing the layout of the interfaces, but I have yet to code them
to work with the data. That'll come after I'm done coding all the GUI interfaces shall I then inject data involvement.
Well, that's all the news I can provide with my programming status and my current situation. Will be back in a day or two and
post up any news. Time to get some sleep.

After a few days of hiatus from the programming project from August 1st to August 3rd, I was able to resume on August 4th. Life can
be annoying at times. August 4th was very slow. It took me forever to get the side menu to work how I wanted it. Now it's able to
work fine now. I was going to do the layout of the rebate form to fill out, but ran out of time. I could've finished it within a
few hours, but I need to get some sleep because I have to cover a shift at work later today early in the morning. After I get home,
I'm going to finish the rebate form layout and get things moving at a quicker pace.
The programming project hit a big slow down after July 31st, which was the last day I programmed. Since then, it slowly went
back into production. The programming priority was hitting rock bottom. Now I need to raise it back up somewhere from normal to high
so that I can finished this belated program and release it. If I don't, the program will yet again see a big delay and will end up
either September at the earliest, months later at the least. But I don't want to see that happening, so I'm going to push it so that
this project is finished once and for all and to make it out sometime in August. There is no way I can afford to let the development
go beyond during my fall semester at college, as that will mean the death of the programming project.
Well, time for me to get some sleep, work early morning, come home and start working on the rebate form interface and try to get
a screen shot of the form filling. Don't know if I'll be able to get a screenshot of it later tonight, but we'll see if I can
manage to do so, so to show at least that I'm getting something done with this project and have proof of its existence.
