Just wanted to post a big THANK YOU to all of my family, friends, and special people in my life who have supported me these past few months! I realize I don’t get to touch base with people as much as before with the store now and I hope to reach out to all of the people I haven’t had a chance to talk to as much to let them know that I haven’t forgotten about them. I wouldn’t be where I am in life without you and, although we may not get a chance to talk as much, I still consider you important in my life. Thanks again!

I recently adopted a new kitten from the shelter to keep my 1 1/2 year old cat, Sentry, company. However, I think the warm up period between Sentry and the new kitty may take a week or so. Also, when the shelter cleaned the kitten’s ears, they irritated a nerve in the inner ear that controls balance so the kitten is all clumsy and walks around like she’s stone drunk. I hope to figure out a name in the next week or so once I get a feel for her personality. She’s a cutie!!!
UPDATE: The little one now has a name…Meekah. It is African and means brave or strong-willed.
Just for the hell of it (and because I feel a little proud of my creation), I decided to publish my Java project source code. I’m sure no one will really care or even understand, but, oh well. The main program utilizes a bunch of other classes I wrote that will go to a NOAA weather website, extract weather data from a certain web page and parse it, then save it to a text file. Further, the form will load a combo box based on that text file and populate a SQL database by reading the text file, extracting the airport names, going to an XML feed, reading the XML data, parsing the XML data, then displaying it on the form according to different altitudes (selectable by radio buttons). Maybe once I figure out how to program Java servlets I’ll publish a working version. Enjoy!
Main program: A19015
The database class: DBUpdt15
The database template: DBUpdt
The class to connect to the weather website and get the data: Inet
The class to parse the data into human readable form: NSWFB06
The form itself: WeatherForm15
The class to read XML feeds: XMLRead
After finding a lack of good information on how to remove the dash bezel while doing some stereo modifications on my 2002 Ford Explorer, I decided to document and write my own tutorial to help anyone else in a similar situation.
Please note: I am not responsible for any damage that may be a result of following this tutorial. If you don’t feel comfortable with this please contact a professional. Otherwise, proceed at your own risk!
