No GUI for Me
Shortly after beginning my final push on my project, I became quite aware that my knowledge of Swing was nowhere near good enough to properaly implement a GUI interface for my project, so I fell back to the (demonstrated in class) console method of text menus and a whole lot of loops. While it is a ton of typing, it’s also fairly basic and just requires everything to be done properly. Considering that it’ll actually let me get the project done in time, I think it probably ended up being the better option.
My statement that I have nothing on my schedule my schedule between tomorrow and Quakecon isn’t entirely true since I do have my last test next Tuesday, but that’s not a big event in my book since it should be fairly simple and won’t require that much studying. I didn’t do the Vista upgrade on our HTPC last weekend so that will probably happen sometime this weekend, and then of course after Quakecon my tech life gets very interesting with my computer upgrade (which is quickly turning into a whole new build, but for just over $1k, it doesn’t seem like I’m buying a whole new computer). I’d have to say that overall, this summer ranks about 100 million times better than the last one.
