This is what I have been up to lately here at school (thanks to the wonderful online diagram software, Gliffy). My program design and development class has my class creating program flowcharts, psuedocode, and hierarchies. I enjoy creating the flowcharts though, and generally after I stop trying to over think things, I get the flowcharts done in a comfortable fashion. After I'm able to finish the flowcharts the psuedocode becomes rather easy for me to create, it's all in reading what you've created with your flowchart. Although I have to admit program design and development is my hardest class, it's kind of fun but very challenging.

Web design tools is another class I'm taking, which isn't going very well. The class required Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, when I had the newest Dreamweaver version, CS4. It has created so many problems too! Like one thing I have noticed so far (with differences anyway) is that the CS4 version doesn't have the option of Flash Text like CS3 has (or if it does, Adobe was rather good at hiding it). But it's funny, I can follow all the steps in the book to get to where it should be and only find all of the other Flash features besides the text thing. Thankfully though, I came up with a quick solution. I switched out rollover images with the Flash text using my Photoshop program, and completed the school assignment without further ado (although I stressed too much over the Flash crap).

I wouldn't be anywhere in school if I didn't have the use of the great programs I am using! For my program class, Gliffy has been a godsend thanks to it's great features and convenience. It's an online based diagram software that offers way more than most programs that just end up wasting space on your hard drive. With this online program you can save your files as you work to their server and only export it to the storage device you need when you choose! And the great thing is, it's free *smilies*. Anyone who is in need of this type of software should ditch the other programs and give this program a try.

~~~~~~~~~ Although I'm not always a huge fan of the big brands I must give it up to my Adobe software. Thankfully though I didn't have to pay full price for the entire CS4 suite. For anyone interested, the complete suite suite can be found at a sweet web site called Vio Software. Yet for those who are ready to purchase the Web Premium Edition can find it at this web site for only $750! Please don't waste time, you won't find a better deal. I have spent a countless amount of precious time searching the internet for an affordable price for this Adobe suite, and I promise there isn't another to be found at this great rate. Plus they offer free shipping (of course), and (not sure if they're still doing this) I was offered a free full version of McAfee Internet Security 2008 (WITH FREE SHIPPING)! This web site truly is a great place to find software, so please go ahead and take a look.

~~~~~~~~~ PLUS here's a little something I want to share with all of you out there (because I understand how you poor college students, and struggling web designers feel). But anyway Oprah Winfrey, and KFC are giving away a two piece grilled chicken meal, with two choice sides and a biscuit (at participating KFC's)!!! I know, amazing?! This woman gives away chicken too :D

Maybe there's a little connection there? After all, what woman doesn't love a white headed man with that cute little bit of facial hair?!!!
