So in my application, I found myself needing a way to get business days for a given month. It’s for student attendance, so I only need to get the days from Monday through Friday for a given month.
Hopefully someone finds this useful. 🙂

Tomorrow is a big day for me. As you may or may not know, I’ve built a system for a school here in Bolivia. It’s the whole shebang, CRUD, reports, stats and more.
Tomorrow I head out to two different schools and pitch my software to them. The great thing is, since the application is already in production in another school, it’ll feel more ‘tested’ and ‘reliable’. Plus I look good in casual business. 🙂
When I look at it done, from a birds eye view, it seems it’s not that complex. But then I remember some of the things that contributed to the effort I had to make to finish it.
I’ve learned a lot in these past 4 months. So I’ve decided to try to write them up here and share some of the things that they don’t tell you in college.
How many times have you started feeling your machine is getting a bit crusty around the edges. Computer taking a bit too long opening a picture, a bit too long closing that tab, a few extra seconds to open the context menu. We’ve all been there, right?
I had the idea for this little experiment last Wednesday when I had to completely wipe my desktop PC. It was old, running on it’s previous OS for two years straight in the hands of my technophobic wife.
The PC had seen better days.
David Braben of Rollercoaster Tycoon series, Thrillville, Lost Winds, and most recently Kinectimals fame, has actually managed to create a completely working PC the size of a keychain.
Stop for a second and let that sink in.
This isn’t a flash with Puppy linux on it; no. This is a completely self contained working PC!
