Flu Aware App published!

After much programming, I released my first app!

Please vote for my app here for the CDC Flu Challenge:

It's available for free on the Android Market:

Here's a few screen shots:

Pictures say it all

It's so obvious, duh... oh wait...

This is how I feel when I'm programming.



This pretty much describes my next month. I have work (possible go live of a physician search for the hospital - will be putting in extra hours there), classes w/ two finals, and a programming competition deadline.

I'm pretty much writing off my social life (or what was left of it). I'll make up for it next month by taking a trip, possibly to New York City or somewhere in the East Coast, I'll see if some Peace Corps friends want to get together.

The programming has been slow in terms of completed/finalized code (and I doubt that I can finish the program before time's up), but I've learned so much in the meantime.

My idea's to download live data through an XML feed, get the phone's current location, convert that location from geocode to an actual usable location, run the location against the parsed XML data, and return with info pertinent to the user.

I haven't been able to parse all the XML data correctly and I've only got the geocode locations to return from the phone. I found an API that takes in geocode locations and converts them to real addresses. Still so much to do...

The deadline is starting to get stressful. When did hobbies get stressful?!
