A tale of wi-fi cards, mysterious problems, and wonderful success 
The Tale of Wi-fi Cards:
Yesterday I was able to connect to the Internet at my grandmother's with my D-Link AirPlus card thingy for connecting to wireless. Today, when I put the card in, it blinks once and then stops. The computer just doesn't recognize it. I didn't drop it or anything! Help! Well, at least I can use her computer for some Internet stuff, but goodbye to downloading new look-and-feels or programs.

The Tale of Mysterious Problems:
Yesterday my wiki complained that I had the wrong username or password when I logged in, then it worked. Today my blog complained that the administrator had denied me some of my rights to do stuff, then worked. Now what is going on? I sure hope I'm not trying to deal with hackers. What would anyone want with me, anyway?

The Tale of Wonderful Success:
I love Clan Keeper, databases, SQL, and JDBC! Hurray! Today I added a whole new feature to Clan Keeper: theme control. You can choose one from the tens of Substance skins. I only like eight or so, but hey, other users might like other ones. I also finished all the functions for working with warriors and my sister enjoyed using Clan Keeper a little. I am so excited!! I just hope deployment won't be a headache. I think NetBeans will help me when it comes to that...but...
Oh yes, NetBeans is my choice of IDE. You can get it here. I used Eclipse when I was first starting out, but then I switched to NetBeans because it came packaged with database stuff, a GUI builder, and just more than Eclipse comes with. I am no especial advocate of either. The truth is that in the long run, Eclipse has more features because of the wealth of plugins. But NetBeans comes with more. Most of the fancy stuff I don't need and don't use yet, and anyway I can always switch back to Eclipse.

Now how many devices support Internet? 
Yesterday my family went to the local phone store, as my grandmother's phone was acting funny. So while my mom and my grandmother were busy troubleshooting with the staff, me and my sister messed with the phones on display. It was fun! I went on all the phones that supported Internet and looked at my website. The operating system that it worked best on was Android!
This morning I had a nice healthy breakfast of English muffins and a big piece of pumpkin pie. Well, so did everyone else! We had cooked the pumpkin pie last night but by the time it was done me and my sister were falling asleep. So we decided to have some for breakfast instead.
And I have a Clan Keeper update (Clan Keeper is my latest programming project): I have fixed a major problem and am developing a beta for download! I anticipate some major frustration while trying to deploy it with a database, but it really should work, right? Anyway, around Thanksgiving I am going to be staying with my uncle who is also a Java programmer who loves databases. If I haven't found out a solution by then, I bet he'll be able to help me.

Safe in America! 
Okay, here I am! I survived without Internet! There was Internet at the airport, but you had to pay for it. There was even Internet on the airplane (!) but of course you had to pay for it.
Jetlag has been almost no problem. Now that is amazing! When we first got back from the airport, it was maybe 7 pm and me and my sister were falling asleep. We slept all the way through the night except for from 4 to 5 am and woke up at a decent time. Next night we went to sleep at 8 pm and woke up a good time again. Hurray!
We first arrived at the house of a family that has 12 acres of land with lots and lots of forest, three ponies, one horse, and the biggest yard in the world. They had three boys which were very fun to play with. We spent the day climbing around in the forest and getting muddy and wet. It was totally awesome!!
So today we set off at 11 am to go to my grandmother's house. It was just a two hour drive. She has a really pretty yard with running-around space, lots of flowers, a swing, and a fishpond. She also has a snug little house.
I can't wait to keep going on with my America trip! It's been really fun so far!

Wikis rock! (Especially mine) 
I love wikis! I found some great free wiki software called WikiRootry. You can go to www.sourceforge.net and look up WikiRootry, and there you go, you can download it. I'm making a neat wiki for all my imaginary planets, and boy is it fun! Even my sister loves it!
The related link is to my wiki. Please check it out and find out about my whole neat world!
