Got the PyQt zaurus diet program a little more properly laid out last night (at least something got laid last night). Finally got around to learning how to create a Qtopia desktop entry for it, and I hope to learn ipkg shortly. I'm now using DietMaster to record what I eat on a regular basis and it works quite well, though there are still a few minor things I need to add but haven't due to time constraints, such as deleting an entry(although maybe this is not the best idea for a program that records your eating habits. Too much temptation to erase history). One of the things that I think would be neat to add would be something that makes use of the SOAP python module to display values from DietMaster in a graph on my desktop via RPC. It would probably be a fluff feature that really wouldn't add to the user experience and probably shouldn't be in the program. But it would be kind of neat to try it in a prototype.

I have to curb working on stuff right now. I have to devote every waking minute I have to learn everything I can in my Cognitive Processes and Ergonomics classes. These classes will be far more useful to me in the long run for creating usable interfaces than any code I write over the next several weeks.
