Whats on your list?

Whats on your list?

There have been a lot of fun gadgets and games available this season. I already have the major games that have came out that I think are worthy of playing. Such as Modern Warfare 2, Left for Dead 2, Dragon Age, and Borderlands. On top of wanting a new car like every one else, there are a few tech gadgets id like to have.

  • I already have a laptop and decent gaming computer so next on the list would be a new monitor. To be exact a 24″ wide screen. I would use it along with my current 19″ to dual screen.
  • Something that I do need to upgrade for my gaming PC is my mouse. This August I bought a Ice Mat Mouse Pad, and now I need a slick mouse to get more head-shots with.
  • Next on my list would be a few Dungeons and Dragons books. Now that I have been playing D&D for almost a year now, (with out a Player Guide Book) it would be nice to have one so I don’t have to borrow one. Also a few miniatures for me to play with.
  • The only game I don’t have yet is Super Mario Bros Wii. I don’t play the Wii but this looks like a fun old school remade game.

Other than a few small things, iTunes gift card, Amazon Kindle, just money, this completes my list.

Mid Semester & Profile Program

It is about the middle of this semester and I am doing wells so far in my classes. Java is becoming fun to the point where I can actually create something that has a good use. In theory I can create a simple Notepad program, Calculator, and other things like that. I have made some “drawings” of a program I would like to create, and I have already started working on it. The program is going to be a “profiler” program for personal use. To create and edit profiles of people I know, making my own profile of each person I know and the info I know about them. Doesn’t sound all that great but it is something I wanted to create and shouldn’t be too hard. There are other features I want to add later, but first I want just a working program.
Program1What I have working so far is that it saves the info typed into a .dat file. You can open the .dat file and the text fields retain the saved data. The next thing I will add is the ability to view the first and last name of each saved profile in a drop down ComboBox. This way you will have easy access to each profile to edit. Other small details will be added to improve the look and user friendliness of the program.
