The shock of the empty nest...

Oh, but I am in a foul mood.

Upon finishing work, Drew and his friend Brady flew home and - under the watchful eye of Shannon and Huntur - loaded the van and Drew's Honda with stuff and proceeded to move.

They came back for a second load and just left.

I am not mad. I am not sad. I am simply... I don't know what.

I don't feel like writing. I left a load of newly arrived work unlooked at.

Maybe I'm just depressed.

To distract myself, I got to thinking that writing my own Palm application to capture data from the Magellan GPS might not be a good use of my time. A brief session with Google pointed me at a few packages that might do the trick at a reasonable price. I even downloaded one - PathAway - and created maps for it.

It seems to work, but I really don't care.

Maybe I'll feel better in the morning.

Cheers...

Ack!! I wish I could help... with any of it. The mood thing sucks. I hope you do better in the morning.

As for the GPS app, it may not be, depending on what kind of data you want; I was moderately happy using the older Delorme software to do it. There's a number of GPS and serial apps out there ranging from free to expensive, depending on what you want.

If you decide to get into it to learn Palm development, give me a shout; I have code you're welcome to look at / use at your own risk... it works for me!
