I wasn't happy with how slow the downloads went on my tablet without any progress indication. Today //i added a separate activity which downloads a large file in a separate activity and unpacks it. it has a progress bar as it downloads. I uploaded this in place of the one that was on Google Play. I'm considering making it go live tonight so that tomorrow I could fix any potential problems. Update: I made it live at 7 PM. Dinner was lettuce with tuna and all the fixings. I took a couple of peppers out of the garden for the salad. The Thai pepper was super hot. My mouth burned and my lips and nasal passages burned. I have met my match in hotness. This afternoon I stopped by Kohls looking for a tall man white shirt. Not any luck. I also looked for a CF card in both Target and HH Gregg. Target sells an 8 gig card for $39 but they were out of stock. No luck at all in HH Gregg. I found there is a Fry's 1 mile from the hotel in Plano. I'll look in there.

This turned out to be a pretty good day. I finished the app and put a final version on google play but I think the initial download is a little rough. Will work on smoothing that out and delay publishing one more day. I went outside and picked up the pine straw Libbie raked on the driveway then turned my attention to the HD Vision camera. I ended up replacing it. thank goodness I made the soffit a bolt on affair. I unbolted everything then accessed the wiring to replace the camera. Not sure what happened to the first camera. It seems to have died. I ordered a new one from China for $92 with free shipping. We practiced our routine many times today and finally have a rough version of it down pat that we have learned the pattern for. Dinner was Libbie's wonderful pizza once again. She took our homemade chicken parmesan and chopped it up and used it as a pizza topping. Really good. I have been playing with the Chrome book setup in anticipation of taking it to TX this week.

Worked on the issue of squashed text that Glenda from Austin reported. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so I made the scroll view wider and kept the label that holds the text the same size. The label goes inside the scroll view.
I created a truecrypt subset of the big truecrypt and put the bp directory inside. I closed the new truecrypt and uploaded it to Amazon cloud storage so I don't lose it since it has a few personal details. I probably should also do this with my scribbling writings which are basically my journals. The good news is they are in the clear on Google Drive so they are protected a little. After a dinner of Salmon, broccoli and Shiraz we practiced our Rumba routine. Libbie planted the rest of her pansies today. The total ended up being 142 plants.

Worked on the select statement all day and got it mastered. Nextt task was to create a new updated database current to Nov 2014. This went reasonably well thanks to my written instructions. I used them and added a few tweaks to clarify a few parts. We got ready for Esquires tonight, our first of the season. I didn't have any gas so we stopped at Kroger on the way there. We took 540 around the long way since we didn't want to pass the State Fair which has traffic issues. It took 45 minutes but we got there at 6:45. We sat with Gary and Janet, Charlie and Terry and Jane and Jim. The food was incredible even though it was a buffet. I really like the dress up and go out to dinner aspect of this. We had a really good time. The band was half a dozen pieces of the Moonlight big band. Good band but there was a predominance of foxtrots.

I was finishing up the documentation for the fc4a app today when I noticed the advanced search didn't work very well. I traced the problem to the makeup of the select statement. As I went to bed in the evening I still had not solved the problem. I went out in the afternoon to Kroger and picked up some provolone cheese for dinner tonight. We made the Cooking Light chicken Parmesan recipe. The chicken is cooked on the stove top then covered with hot pasta and covered with provolone cheese strips. It was yummy. We had this with broccoli and a glass of Shiraz. Listened to Carmen live while looking at obits of former classmates. Amazingly 36 have died. This is over 20%.

The fc4a program is coming along nicely. I continued to put the time into it, tying up loose ends. We went to dance with Robert this afternoon and learned some spiral turns which we will learn. In the meantime he reviewed our routine and had some tips on what we needed to do. The latter part of the class was two step. After a quick meal of spaghetti we went back to the group class with Andy. I'm not getting much out of Andy's Argentine Tango class. The ladies tonight were Terry, Libbie, Jennifer and a new very thin woman whose name I didn't catch. We stayed for Robert's waltz class which followed. This was much better. Robert is a pretty good teacher. We continued doing forward and reverse waltz twinkles. It was a full but tiring day. I finished up a bio this evening for my 50th HS reunion and sent it to a lady named Sharon MacQuaide Eosso.

Did a grocery run this morning then came back to work on the app and the instructional web page. The app is more or less complete. I fixed a date problem but now haven't found anything else. All seems to be working the way it's supposed to. This was eating light day. We had tuna over lettuce for dinner. It was great.

App work continues. The updates are finally working. I spent some time today on a hosting website for the app. Need a password protected location to contain the APK for select users. I wonder if one of the free Google Drives would work as well as a website? In the afternoon we went to the State Fair. We did all the rounds of the gardens, the Village of Yesteryear, crafts, art building, the quilts and cakes and then the animals. We watched a goat judging before seeing Jennifer monitoring the pumpkins. We spent many hours walking many miles. I was tired. For dinner we went to Skippers where I had the fish, oysters and an Aviator beer with slaw, fries and hushpuppies. Yum but too much food.

After the morning shows I continued to work on the update functions in the FC4A program. This has been going on for 7 days now!!!! I keep feeling like I'm getting close but then something else turns up. Dinner was Libbie's wonderful pizza, from scratch this time.

I got the updates working correctly this morning. After the Opera in the evening I got the logging to the database working correctly. Now I need to try the whole scenario. We went to Marriage of Figarothis afternoon at 1. It was fun but the theater was freezing cold. Loved all the Mozart tunes in the opera. We stopped bby Kroger on the way home and picked up Salmon for dinner. We had salmon with butternut squash, shiraz and yogurt for dessert. Yum but we need to cut down on the calories.

Another good day of quality debugging. i'm calling it debugging rather than programming since most of the time has been spent trying to figure out how I previously put together the update code. I had to do some adjustments to the SQL updates to preserve inventory and wishlist items but I did well. We went to dance at 8 and danced almost every dance. I still am having trouble with foxtrot. Libbie is really lost when I try to twinkle her. I wish she would spend some time learning the steps. After dance we went out to Brewsters. I had medium chicken wings which were anything but medium.. It was a nice time anyway.

I had an excellent day of progress on my app. The updates are in really bad shape. Because spent the afternoon at quilting I got to put in some quality time. Dinner was Baked BBQ chicken from Kroger with baked beans

I got the difference program working this morning so I think it catches all differences between two first class databases. In the afternoon we left for our private lesson with Robert. This was good. We fine tuned our Cuban walk then added some open breaks to the mix. After a quick bowl of Brunswick Stew we left for Argentine Tango. Andy was back so the class was not as much fun as with Robert. Nancy, Steve and Mary made up the rest of the dance partners. After Tango we stayed for Robert's first waltz class of a series. We learned to waltz backwards while switching our lady from right to left. We came back tired but happy.

I spent all day studying updates. Still no clear way for how to do it. I am now working on a python differences program to take the difference between an updated First Class and the previous version. This was not what I wanted to do. I need a pushbutton strategy for updates. Dinner was spaghetti covered with cheese.

I skipped the ballet from the Bolshoi this afternoon and spent the whole day working on getting updates ready for the FC4A app. I also got the orientation fixed. Apparently when I put the menu and listview setup in a subroutine it no longer functioned when the display was turned 90 degrees. It also has to be under Activity create and not in a sub. I managed to get an updated database into the sql. This time I wrote down the steps to get there. If I had done this a year ago I wouldn't have had to spend all day figuring this stuff out. Lib made an outstanding pizza from scratch today for dinner tonight. Yumm. We had chobani yogurt for desert.

I tried a custom toast module in the fc4a app that may be promising to indicate progress along with a basic timer. We left for the theater in light rain at 12:20. MacBeth was pure Verdi. The chorus dominated, Netrbeko was powerful. We re-affirmed why we come to these things. Loved it. We had peel n eat shrimp along with a butternut squash for dinner with shiraz. FC4A still has problems. Time is running out.

I worked in earnest again on FC4A. Mary secured a spot in the LSAVC lineup for my announcement of the product. I arranged for subscription services from Google. Dinner was a tuna sandwich before going out to the Friday Dance party at 8. After the party we went to an Irish pub in Tryon place. joining us were Paul and anne, Atlanta and Edward, Ken and Lean, Ken and Anita. It was a fun evening. We had a Yuengling and an an order of mild wings. This afternoon we went to the Farmers market and picked up pansies for fall planting.

I worked some more on FC4A, getting subscription services wroking on Google. We took a trip to Lowes and then Home Depot and picked up our Fall bulbs for planting next month. Dinner was pork chops, apple sauce, idaho potatoes which was a Friday Freebie and shiraz.

i did some work on uploadinf a new version of FC4A before we had to go to our lesson. Robert talked us into doing a showcase at the Christmas Ball. I agreed, we need a goal. We're going to a Rumba almagamation choreographed by Robert. Dinner BBQ on a bun before we went to the Argentine Tango class that Robert was substitute teacher in. He's a great instructor.

I worked in earnest today on the Nashville app. I may have finished it. I got the wishlist and inventory working pretty good with a few usability improvements. Took a break at lunchtime and did the Tuesday groceries. Libbie and Joy were busily getting another 30 boxes ready for shipping today, mostly of leaves. Dinner tonight was creamed tuna and peas over noodles. This is a nice comfort food that I like. Marriage of Figaro was live after dinner. We listened to that a while before going to bed. Just before bed I sent Joe and John an email asking about pricing for the Nashville app.

Libbie had a hige stack of packages to go out today. When she tried USPS shipping it hung up on her. I tried helping and eventually we were able to get her labels printed. She left here with the packages at 4:50. The Post Office closes at 5. This is calling it close. Dinner was spaghetti with cheese sprinkled over it.

Heard from Libbie at 6:15 today. She's in the PVD airport for her 7 am flight. I watched the Sunday morning shows and also did cleanup on the backporch putting tools away. The door project is complete. In the afternoon after picking up Libbie I scraped the window on the door removing the excess paint. Now I need to wash the window. Libbie made her wonderful pizza for dinner. It was nice that she was home.

I mowed the front and back lawns with the tractor today. It may be the last mowing for the season. Next I finished up the paint job of the new back door. I also took a trip to Lowes and picked up a 1x4 for the new shelf I will install for the router. Cut it to size then painted it in the garage. It's only 13 inches long. The driveway cam appears to be unresponsive. Not sure what's going on there. I'll have to do some troubleshooting. This morning at 7:30 I checked Libbie in for her flight tomorrow. It will be nice to have her back home but I have been pretty productive without her around. While I was at it I also did the laundry today. We need a laundry basket. I carried the hamper down and emptied the clothes from there into the washer. I had a pot pie for lunch and a cream cheese and jelly sandwich for dinner. That may be it for today.

This morning was totally lost. I woke to no internet and rebooting didn't bring anything back. I spent 80 minutes on the phone with Time Warner to no avail. I suggested that the new modem be put in, so I gave the Mac address and model number. That didn't fix anything but looking at the wire I saw the center conductor was not out all the way. I grabbed the center conductor with long nose pliers and pulled it from the cable, extending it about 1/2 an inch. Next I put a barrel couple on and added a patch cable then plugged to the modem and router. All the leds on the modem came on correctly this time. Sitting at my computer I found I had internet service. This was around 11 AM. I started dealing with this at 5:30 am. I took the old cable modem to Time Warner on high house and maynard and turned it in to get a $6 per month credit. Dinner was a grilled eggplant parmesan from Trader Joes. Afterwards I went to 7 oclock rock. There was slight rain which ended shortly after 7. I danced a foxtrot with Melanie which was great. I stayed for the showcases during intermission then left. I enjoyed the evening.
