I really can't say much, but....

It has been over a month since my older brother updated his blog. I have been the high side of two weeks. I had meant to update it last week but didn't finish my project, and then this weekend was horrid.

Anyhow, my project.

Nothing much this time. I finally made an Amazon.com wishlist. That's it. Search for my name on Amazon and you'll get my wishlist.

The more meaningful thing that comes of this is my project for next year (with a January birthday that's just too close). I've mentioned before the desire to move to programming, and now I have something I actually want to write. I want to figure out how to create an amazon wishlist that is comprised of links using my amazon associates account. Granted, this is a relatively simple web-building project more than an actual programming project, but I'd like to automate it to the point that you get a browser add-in that lets you search for items on amazon.com, and then when you get to the item/page you want you simply select a drop-down menu object or a button and it gets added to a wishlist. When someone browses your wishlist, clicks a link, and buys it you would then be credited with the sale as an amazon associate. Of course, this may kill some surprise if you do not have the fortitude to not look at what you've sold coming up on the holidays, but then again the regular wishlist is the same thing.

So, that's my project. I don't know that I'll finish it for next year, but after I graduate I will theoretically develop a little more time...
