Well, It's coming together finally. I spent most of the weekend painting and cleaning. My bedroom ceiling and walls have been painted and the carpet has been cleaned.

I have been cleaning up the HD of my desktop system by moving important but usually unaltered info onto Zip Disks. Speaking of the desktop, it's definitely time to consider a new motherboard, processor and memory. Everything else can wait for a little longer. The P200 has just about had it.

I have recently picked up an interest in the SEUL/EDU project. I may be starting a project aimed at school accounting. I have found that most software designed for use in a school system is mostly crap. You would not believe the crap that is sold for thoiusands of dollars to school systems every where.

For example, the accounting software that we currently have was coded in M$ FoxPro and has the most horrible interface. The app can crash very easily because the code has hard-coded window positions. So if you set your resolution to 800x600 on some machines the app crashes with an error stating that the window would be off the screen. The whole program looks like it was thrown together in a couple day's time. It's really that bad.

If you want a nice laugh, check out the companies web site and even check out the demo: EPES Software.

Well, I am going to end it there for now. I will continue this later.
