So much to do, so little time...
Well, everyone is really far behind, so I guess it's time for an update.
I'm currently working for CORMP at the Center for Marine Science, an institution of UNCW. I'm writing software for a new monitoring station that will be anchored close to Johnny Mercer's Pier at Wrightsville beach. I'll spare you the details of the project, but comment that it is really cool to work with devices instead of just software. The device I'm working with is like a minature computer, and I am writing code to control it, and use it to control all the other instruments on the monitoring station. At some point in the future you will be able to see the data coming from that station real time at CORMP's website.
In philanthropic land, there is much to report. I'm finally fully on board with the Full Belly Project. If you don't already know about it, check out their soon to be completely redone website at http://www.fullbellyproject.org. I'm their new webmaster among other roles. I will be doing their website which will involve setting web-enabled project management software, email list serves, and a major news system with blogs for all members. I am also on the research committee, which means a learn and convey to the group information about various things relating to the project. I will also be working with Jock (invented the peanut sheller) to create peanut shellers. I'm really excited because I think the project is going to be very successful, and I now have an integral role in the organization.
We are expecting some major money and support from the concrete industry in the next couple of months, and we already made an agreement with FedEx for free shipping of 2 machines per month to Africa. Isn't that awesome?
Other than that, I'm still trying to finish up all the leftovers from last semester. I may yet have to drop the honors project. I have debated what to do with it for months, and I just don't think I'll have the time to finish it. We'll see what happens. Either way, I'll be doing another honors project for Political Science, probably related to the Full Belly Project.
Evie and I are getting ready to go to Hanging Rock for 5 days, it should be really fun. I'll be sure to post lots of pics when I get back.
Peace and Compassion to you all.
