For anyone following this post.

Currently some bad things has happened at a financially unstable time in my life.
A year ago I moved to Colorado (USA) no family or friends here. The vehicle I came in broke down.
We (my wife and I) managed to get two vehicles from an auction at an affordable price to get back on our feet.
Recently,one of them (My Jeep) brakes booster went out.
Then our used washer and dryers we bought from an appliance repair store
went out .. I made a video on it here.. thankfully I was able to fix the electronic switch problem.

**I will make a video when I buy the brake booster for the jeep and I repair that too.. (65$ USD)**. Praying it's just the booster and nothing else as I can't afford it and food for our kids.

I consider myself very self educated, and know a great many things, but yet I dont understand why I struggle to find a job. I don't get it. I was recently told by a previous co-worker many employers probably wouldn't believe your resume and that you know what you know. My resume site is (http://www.OebelSoft.com). He also mentioned in his experiences some hiring managers may be be inner-competitive .. wondering why you know so much things, but only have a 2yr degree in something-un-related; making the manager feel incompetent as a human being. This reminded me something I forget about pride filled jealous envying human beings because I am loving and compassionate. I only aim to teach others what I learned and to learn from those willing to teach .. my only competition is with myself .. always feeling I need to learn more and more and I'm never good enough until I learn it all lol.
I'm almost done completing a linux course paid for by a past employer. I dont even have 4$ to go buy a used microphone to continue this project; which has further impacted my motivation at this time. I simply need a job. Then I can have free time and less money problems hindering my flowstone progress. I am almost done with a free online ruby programming tutorial. Many here also provided me great advice; thank you. I'm currently watching my kids when their off school, and watching my 13 month old baby during the day while I look for work. To complicate things my wife has a job and is paying all the bills. She is using the only working vehicle right now. Meanwhile when I get great sleep and finish my Linux courses I focus on Ruby programming and Cisco (CCNA self education with GNS3). I can't wait to finish this online ruby programming course so I can jump back to flow-stone and cut out allot of need to code and just "BUILD".

Like many of you who have a wife, and kids (I have six kids). This is my update report as honest and true as I can give it. *I'm tired today so please forgive any grammatical errors. When I'm tired and feel studying my courses will just result in me not remembering most of it all I refrain, and on these days I play online video games (LeagueofLegends) since I can't take a nap .. as my 13month olds always getting into stuff.

I hope you appreciate a real life update report and real life complications. The up-side is I get "Full Days" to make leaps in my studies since I am un-employed. So while I may not be able to build my completed parabolic spywhisper mic system. I can build the software for it in FlowStone. Being a stubborn German, and knowing nothing about ruby language and knowing FlowStone uses ruby. I have to study and know ruby .. I feel incomplete if I don't study it to a useful level.

Woohoo ... what a coincidence ;) or someone hacked and honey potted my craiglist job search... but I got employed by Paa-Automation, a robotics company. It Christmas, but in about a month or two I'll have fund to fund this audio project. In fact I'm in training with SolidWorks a computer aided drafting software at my job. So my plan is to draft a robot and buy dsprobotics parts and kits to make my first robot. .. currently I'm assembling robotic arms... and my brain is going crazy. "encoders with gears" .. .. all I can think is "How could I talk to these motors and encoders with computer programming" ;). I will be getting the dsprobotics arm. I'll post questions regarding some "C++" questions. Also can FlowStone export a DLL that could be used in per say a c++ compiler, or anything that could import the DLL?

Stay tuned!
Thanks for reading,

-Cody
