Well, I did it. I don't believe it myself and no one else does, but I
did it. I was able to recode 60 c++ files that manipulates 3000 fields
in just 2 days. I converted them all to C#. I probably touched on 10,000
lines of code. On Monday my eyes started bugging out and I felt for sure
that I would dream in code, as I have done in the past. The conversion
was actually easier than expected. Anyway, I have proved myself here so
I don't have to worry. In other news, I am actually going to do it. I am
going to take that commuting website idea and make it a reality. As I
shared the vision with others it just started growing, my business plan
is taking shape. I am getting a friend to help code the site and am
going to use Motivium.com to launch it. I would never have thought that
the word Motivium could be used for commuting website, but it makes
sense. I figure I will be able to launch in 2 to 3 months. However, I
will have to invest in this idea, invest in advertising and invest in
the time to do it. I am looking at energy and technology grants and
going to the SBA as well as meet with my accountant and lawyer. I feel
compelled to do this. Being a capitalist is just something in my nature.
I suppose that is how I got to where I am today, by capitalizing on my
strengths and ideas. It is all fun for me. Anyway, I am also learning
scuba diving this week. That is fun too. Life is good.

Thought of the Day
"Hi. Jerry, can I borrow your car?"
"For what?"
"I have to haul some dirty garbage to the dump."
"Dirt? That's alright, because there's nothing wrong with dirt."
"Well, actually it's pretty grimy."
"Grime, grease, filth, funk, ooze. Whatever it is, you take that stuff
and put it right on my leather upholstery."
"Well, I don't know who you are, but thanks for the car."
- Elaine and Jerry, in "The Pothole"
