My brother and I worked on it for about four hours tonight to come up with a rugged layout. Hands-on functionality will be added shortly (as well as real icons for the buttons), then I will begin the process of working with a database to store the users information.

I don’t want to release any screenshots as of yet, but I’ll try to be more consistent in keeping you all posted. Sorry I haven’t had time to work on the application much until this break ... Real homework calls!

I have just begun work on the initial release today, so it should be a few months before I release a beta, but I’ll keep you posted on my progress. The application will be written entirely in Java 1.5 so users of all platforms (including 32-bit Mac OS X users) will be able to benefit from it.

That’s all for now!
