Affairs of a Heathen

We’re finally in our new apartment. If I were to move again I’m definitely dishing out a few bucks and having someone move my crap for me. Its such a pain in the ass to sort things before and after a move. Although, its a good time to purge a lot of things that you’d most likely never use. We spent 3 days moving and by Friday we were too tired to celebrate our anniversary on Saturday. So I’m looking forward to this weekend since we’re going furniture shopping and hopefully getting the dim sum I’ve been craving from last weekend.

I’ve also been back to work for a week. We had a long “vacation” for the Memorial Day week. These coming weeks are going to be interesting. Our schedule is getting behind and our production is going up. There’s a bottleneck forming on my step for test. My area had a meeting before the break to go over our current state and future state. I’m hoping the results of that meeting will improve our flow and we won’t be rushed as much to get things out.

I’ve been thinking about finishing my card game. Its still has a few more sections that need to be worked on. The AI is non-existent along with the winning conditions for each player. I need to stick with it to keep my mind in the programming world for work. There’s been a little less pressure to finish my database while we wait for permissions to connect to the master parts database. Once we have that connection I believe things will go smoothly from there. One other thing I need to look into is converting the code from VB6 to VB2008. I’m so used to the VB6 environment and code, and haven’t programmed since VB6. There was too much time in between VB6 and 2008 so a straight upgrade breaks too much of the code. I’m hoping that a jump to 2005 from VB6 then to 2008 will ease the transition.
