Authorware Hero

Today was a pretty good day all around. Jake and I got the rest of the Authorware presentation and after that we were pretty much turned loose to work with it. It’s kinda like powerpoint and VB put together, actually leaning towards VB. Since I have pretty good experience with VB, it came to me pretty easily and I had finished with the “how-to” book by the end of the day. This really impressed Wayne and I think Jake felt dumb. I tried to play it off like “oh I had a class in high school” to try and make him feel better but I can’t help it that I am good at programming. I want them to think of me as a pilot and not an IT guy, I guess. I could never live at my cubicle forever. If I ever couldn’t fly for medical reasons or something, I think this would be an awesome job though.

After work I tried to go to Fry’s, which I actually found today (day 3 of trying). Got to the one in Irving. Also found the Chipotle by accident! Anyways I was looking around and saw the Macbook for the first time. Being off the internet for two weeks has slowed down my tech news. Well I didn’t like it enough so I’ll wait for the 13” powerbook. When I tried to buy two power splitters and a flight yoke I was informed that they don’t take out of state checks. I got mad and left. Then I went to Wal-Mart in a bad mood. I hate going to Wal-Mart in a good mood so I was especially bitter today. Bought a desk for my computer and some other misc. crap. Oh! I also changed my T-Mobile plan to 600min and free nights/weekends. So now I’m in for another year, but hopefully not getting raped each day for talking to Alison. By the time I got home it was dark.
