Product Testing -- PSPad (1)

Ok I am starting a new type of blogging for myself I am going to be doing some reviews just to do some reviews of programs I experiment with. Every Post title with Product Testing -- [name of program] will be these posts.

Ok here is the first post.

I am currently using a program called PSPad. This is a freeware text file editor but is way more than that. It actually can edit all types of files were talking txt, html, php, css, c++, COBOL, MS-DOS, JavaScript, etc. Here is a screen shot of all the file types.

PSPad allows allows you to set up projects inorder to easily access files for doing some kind of project or just working on a mass of files that are similar. These projects can be set up and can mimic the file structure of your folder structure of the project your working on. Here is a screen shot of the Projects.

Along with projects and accessing almost any type of file PSpad also has many other functions such as syntax highlighting, tabbed editing, as well as other features.

I have explored the program pretty well up to this point but there is still alot I don't know about over the next few weeks however I will be going into depth of it.

There are a few things I don't like so far about PSPad though. It does not automatically update whenever you remove a file or folder in the main structure of the folders it does not remove the file or folder in the project view. which is not good.

I will also over the next few weeks be going over other programs that I find interesting.

A new post

Alright so last weekend I went to E-town which was a fabulous weekend.  It was fun and relaxing.  Amber and I enjoyed the time away from school emensley, sometimes you just need a break from your current surrondings, and is exactly what we got by going up to E-town.  While we were up there we went to a fabulous Mexican resturant that I frequent during the summers that I stay up and work in E-town with some neighbors and friends.  The name of the resturant is Los Nopolas, which is fabulous and good even be better than Los Portales in Murray.  Along with eating great food, and spending time with family and friends we also went and visited some sites that we found in the movie Elizabethtown.  Ok so I thought there was more but we only could find one from the movie and if I had my cord to my camera I would post the pics, but alas I do not.  Well anyway last weekend was so awesome and I just wanted to say that it was awesome.

Gettin' Ready for the Weekend

Alright made it through one heck of a week of school.  It has been one of those weeks at Murray State, nothing but business, running around and doing serious projects worth 15% of my grade.  Stress has definatley been apart of my life this past week.  But that is ok, this weekend I am heading up to E-town.  This weekend's plans consist of going home Friday enjoying my Bro's B-Day, then driving to E-town on Sat and Sun to catch up with my cousins and friends up there. 

I need this little mini vacation away from school for the weekend and I can't wait.

Mid Term Grades

So I got my mid term grades today, needless to say I did better than expected which is cool.  I am still pretty stressed about this semester and still fradazzled about ART 121 (the devil).  Anyway here is the run down on my grades:  A in ART 121, A in MGT 350, B in TSM 340, B in TSM 343, B in CIS 304, and B in Fin 330.  All in all I am pleased with my grades however I hope to have all these grade up by one and finally pull a 4.0 for the first time in a long time.  That would be so sweet.

Me and Amber

 

Insomnia once again

So once agian I find myself just chillin' out and staying up half the night just working on really nothing.  I try to learn stuff but its so hard right now.  My mind is cluttered with all kinds of junk, its hard to explain how busy my mind is.  I am taking 18 hours of classes which isn't bad just I don't think 20 hours of work mixes well.  Even though its only 18 hours it is starting to bite and it hurts when it does bite.  ART 121 a class I am taking on the WEB is sticking it to me.  The Assignments are not hard just take quizzes then a Midterm then more Quizzes then a final.  The only problem is I am teaching myself practically and its one of those things where I am not the best at motivating myself with something that boring.  This is just one of those semesters when I can't wait for it to be over with quicklly.  I am pulling B's and C's and A's at this point and hopefully I can pull something out towards the end of the semester but with professors pulling projects out their ass its going to be hard to get on top and stay on top.

Post from Email

Tonight I am trying out posting to blogger from email by emailing my post to a special blogger address.  This is just a test to see if it works.
