Yes, I think its time I give it another go. The family has become much more active and there are reasons everywhere to be capturing at least one picture. This is especially true in a place like Florida!
I hope this time I can stick with it for more than 2 months! Remembering to do it…is the hardest part.
After a ton of work on my part. My iPhone application that was created for the company is ready to go. Of course, there is a hold up. The app is ready, I’m ready, the target users are ready, the database and share point interface for administration of the data is ready, but the data in which the application is set to deliver is well…. NOT!
I am not sure if this is a normal occurrence in the development world, but after a company invests that much time, money, and effort into an app, one would think they would be pressuring me to get it done. My motivation is to get an app out into the store just so I can see if it passes Apples screening and most important, so I can finally say I have an iPhone app, and it is done. Especially for a resume situation!
When it finally hits the public, I will be sure to post it for all to see. After this, I will begin to look into creating applications for myself. I have a few ideas, only one of which seems mildly profitable. Any app I choose will require a lot of data management coding on my part. I still have no idea how to use SQLite within Xcode.
Recently the company I work for merged with a much larger one. We are still deep in the process of aligning our systems and processes with theirs. I have been assigned to my new team and management. So far I am very happy at the direction the have me going. It appears I will get to spend a lot more time on development projects and working with code. I certainly am not going to complain.
Not everyone is happy or can maintain a positive outlook on the situation. The new company has committed to keeping everyone and will even allow you to train into any other line of IT you prefer…company paid no less. Some people however, manage to still try and make everyone else miserable around them. The constant sounds of “Oh the sky is falling.” or ”We are so screwed.”, or best yet “It’s just a matter of time”. So far everything that was told to us would happen indeed…ha happened. No reason to believe otherwise.
A lot of $$$ have been spent to go out of their way to retain everyone they can. Coupled with that and the others who have jumped ship seemingly for no reason, have made it that much easier for us to stay. My stance is… in this economy, one should be happy they are still working. Those who are nervous and push it on others should start searching for something else. Their departure will be a stress reliever!
Any have experience with this?
My first go at playing in beginner league and Team Lowenbrau wins it all! It was a great season. I started the season playing the wing, and moved to center about halfway into the season. I hope I get more of an opportunity to try my hand at defense next season.
I will be the first to admit that I know little about SQL Server. For the purposes of our application we developed here at the hospital. I know enough to get by and know what I want a DB to do for me. On that note, I am the last one who should be documenting the setup of a SQL database. I have been documenting what the Client and Admin applications have been doing in code. This has so far taken me months to do. I’d say at least 50 work hours so far have been spent on documentation that still is not finished. Plus as I update the code, then the documentation falls behind right away. Current documentation is important for disaster recovery and getting newcomer admins up to speed on what your code is doing.
My son’s team won their championship game this last weekend. What more could a kid ask for. Well, how about having the Stanley Cup there for your post-came pictures and celebration. What are the odds of cup showing up at the same time? I stressed this fact to the kids that it is a unbelievable coincidence. It will never happen again. Unless they grow up to play for the Stanley Cup themselves!!!
Every league in every sport has them. You know, the guy that has no business playing in your league. Has to play down a level because they want to show off the skills they think they have. Some outright dominate, others hold back just enough but ensure the team wins. Maybe they just want to feel like a forgotton NHL star. Either way, they annoy many of the players who are trying to improve and are out there to just have fun playing an awesome sport. Continue reading
