KingQuest — Done!

I finished it. The program is SO cool. The program I’m designing for Dr. Gunn in the TCU Religion Department is now complete. Well, kind of. I’ve been having a problem getting it deployed to the server down in Ft. Worth. It works on my machine at least. Now, before I leave for Florence tomorrow morning, I’m going to work on the server again and see if I can get it. Yikes!

Since I’ve spent so much time on the project this week, I’ve neglected a bunch of the preparations for Florence. I just packed in about an hour and a half. One great thing is that the amount I can take is limited to one checked bag (44lbs) and then one carry-on and a personal item. I’ve put all of my checked stuff in my hiking backpack. It’s much easier to pack if you know you can’t take much. It was funny for me to see where I put my priorities. I have five different electronic devices; I have around 5 sets of clothes. I have a camera tripod (I know what you’re thinking — keep them in your head). There’s a lot I probably could have taken, but I’m keeping it fairly light (at least for me). I’m taking less than I took for Seattle two summers ago. I’m taking a lot less than I took for Boston last summer.

My flight leaves at 10:30 tomorrow morning and I’ll arrive in Florence 23 hours later. It’s a 4-leg journey, taking me through DFW, Frankfurt, Milan and then Florence. The DFW-Frankfurt leg will be 9.5 hours; wish me luck! I really don’t need the luck, though, since the KingQuest project is done!!!
