30 Day Challenge: Days 5-8

Day 5

Early this morning a Comcast technician arrived to diagnose and repair my Internet access problems.  After thirty minutes and three trips to his truck, it appears as if my problems are finally resolved. 

I am now actively using Fogbugz (free for up to two accounts) for project management and to track the project.  I broke everything down I would need to launch the project and entered them as tasks. 

I worked the rest of the day, reading up on a variety of subjects, from installers to credit card processing.  Beyond that I didn't get a whole lot accomplished. 

Day 6

I did some coding and built up a installation package for Mac OS X.  I have a functional user interface prototype.

Day 7

More coding; more reading. 

Day 8

Hi ho. Hi ho.  Off to the doctor I go.

I thought I was done with my cold, but the cough has lingered on for the third week.  My wife prodded me to finally go the doctor (she accused me of having tuberculosis).  After a quick X-ray, it was confirmed that I do not have tuberculosis -- I have pneumonia (I thought only chronically or terminally ill people got pneumonia).

I took the entire day off.

After the Doctor's appointment, my wife and I ended up at the Mall were we found a good deal on a ten piece stainless steel cookware set at Macy's.  It was nearly 70% off after all of the discounts were added.
