]]>So with graduation comes many new things and changes/improvements to be had. I obtain my new apartment tomorrow morning, and from that point on every decision will begin to shape what is to come. Thursday I will begin finding new furniture, this weekend I will go to my graduation, and upon my return to Houston I will then search for a new car. (btw this is down to the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Honda Insight). On May 27 I will start my new job. Nothing will ever be as it was before today.
My supervisor wanted me to create a timesheet tracker for employees so we can keep track of how many hours each employee is scheduled for. This is the solution right here. Type your employee's names into the colored boxes. When you want to schedule that employee copy their name with the color out to the timesheet. The counters will automatically do their job.

Last night there was a small power outage for less than 1 second. What was the result? Glitchy video results, no wireless controller synchronization, and no memory card usage for my Xbox360. I searched around and found the solution to the problems at hand, and it appears to be a solve all solution.
Why is a long equal to the size of an int, and why is a long int also the same size (4 bytes)? Why then do we also have a long long that is 8 bytes. Now, the real kicker, why is a double 8 bytes and then a long double 12 bytes?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout <<"int " <<sizeof(int) <<endl
<<"long " <<sizeof(long) <<endl
<<"float " <<sizeof(float) <<endl
<<"double " <<sizeof(double) <<endl
<<"long long " <<sizeof(long long) <<endl
<<"long int " <<sizeof(long int) <<endl
<<"long double "<<sizeof(long double) <<endl
<<"long long int " <<sizeof(long long int) <<endl;
return 0;
}
int 4
long 4
float 4
double 8
long long 8
long int 4
long double 12
long long int 8
I have found that I have problems connecting with certain people on a very basic level. I don't understand why you would stick gum on the bottom of a desk once you reach the university level. I don't understand why you would do damage to someone elses property (intentionally) for ANY reason! One major thing that I can not wrap my head around is why anyone would throw ANYTHING out of a moving vehicle at a cyclist!!! Tonight I took my bike out for a spin to test out a patched tube to make sure it was rideable for the morning ride, and while I was out a White Toyota Carolla (or rather the people in it) threw a bottle out of the window to hit me... and it succeeded... luckily I wasn't injured and it was an empty plastic bottle... but WHY!!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHY!!!!
]]>Every once in a while we encounter a problem that can only be fixed from commands. Today I came across this error and wasn't sure what to do. After a while of checking I was sure that I needed a live cd with some special tools on it and I was going to have to get dirty, but in reality this wasn't the case. Please let me know if this solution also works for you.

]]>Which small businesses are hurt most by rising gas prices? What can they do to save money?
Mostly I would say any business that has a delivery service or orders goods to be shipped to their stores.
One thing that can be done to save money in this case I would assume is to use smaller vehicles to make deliveries rather than a truck. If the items can fit in the back of a small, fuel efficient, car then use the car... if the items are too big for the car I suppose there is no solution for that.
Maintaining vehicles that are used for delivery are as important as how they are driven as well. Drivers should accelerate slow and be conservative on their rpms at higher speeds. This causes very little time delays, but this can be counteracted by leaving early. Also, keep those filters clean and your oil changed.
Make sure your delivery drivers aren't going on any non-company related detours. This is irresponsible and can cost you a lot of extra dough. Install gps units to track where the trucks are going as well as their speeds.
They had a form, I filled it out... I explained the backward Oreo thing, and suddenly now I will be able to get more Oreos. WoW! Talk about wanting to make sure I'm happy.
So, I received this update from Nabisco about the Oreos.

Cloth bandages are amazing. Good for even those cuts on the palm of your hand. It is like a second layer of skin. Amazing!
