So I’m writing another C# app, but this one is for a Systems Design class. It’s a small app (part of a larger imaginary implementation) that displays doctor and patient records (as well as outrageous patient account balances) at a hospital. I’m probably not allowed to divulge much (it is vaguely based off [...]

For a short progress indicator on Academia’s progress? It’s almost done. I’ve got to figure out a few things for it this afternoon (how to send the contents of a text field to the printer in C# .NET, for one thing) and then I’ll turn it in late tonight to my instructor. [...]

I’ve been hammering away at Academia for the past week now (took one day off in the middle), and I’ve made some really good progress on it. I’ve finished most of the add and modify sections; there are a few big things left that I need to implement in those places (including deleting students [...]

Although I’m a fool with little skill in graphic design, I present to you the icon for Academia, along with a little description of why I made what I made.

I’ve been doing gobs of work lately on Academia, and I’ve gotten to a small little milestone I’ve set for myself as “Part I,” and that’s the create portion of the application. Well, creating a new student and associating courses with it. Which was a huge source of confusion in my brain, originally. [...]

Okay, don’t panic. It’s nothing big. It’s only the reason I haven’t posted much in the past… several weeks. It’s called school. But on top of that is the application I’m writing for my CIS334 (Advanced Windows Programming) C# final project: Academia. And I’m going to try to log my progress publicly through [...]

I’ve heard some news that Missouri State’s CIS program is being transitioned into an all-online degree, by order of the Provost (yes, with a capital P). This is alarming, and I’ll tell you why: I’m a CIS major who’s had a few total-online classes (I’m not talking about the blended courses) in the degree, [...]

If you’re a student or a faculty member at Missouri State, chances are you’ve wanted to lookup somebody’s email address (at the university) to shoot them an email. To do that, you typically turn to Missouri State’s website and do a people search. Did you know that you can use your Mac’s Address Book to [...]

This semester I’m doing something a little different in an attempt to make myself a better student: posting my notes to Evernote. If you haven’t checked out Evernote, you should; it’s an awesome service (free or premium) that allows you to post text/audio/photo notes from just about anywhere you’re at: a web browser, a Mac, [...]

Weeeell, it’s that time again. School starts back up tomorrow (Monday) and it seems like summer has, for the most part, whizzed by. I’m heading into my final year at Missouri State, where I’ll be finishing up my Computer Information Systems degree. I won’t bother posting one of those cheesy reflection posts (yet) but I [...]
