Debounce anyone??

Maybe its the cheap buttons I picked up from Radio Shack or maybe it's the program. But I cannot seem to incrment the counters I have written in my code only once when the button is pushed. Clearly someone else has run into such a problem and solved it. If it's you please let me in on a secret. I have started looking at libraries people have compiled for a solution as I could not get it to debounce properly or only increment once and not twice (on the way up and on the way down).

The two toolboxes The "Button" library and the "AdvButton" are up for it hopefully. I tried the "Button" library and it sort of worked but I think the switches are just two noisy with lousy contacts and cheap parts. I ordered some new buttons from www.sparkfun.com and those will hopefully solve the problems I have encountered because new and bigger programming parts are looming in the future.

Tomorrow is the UWM Career Fair. Time to get dressed up and play ball with future recruiters. I will be there most of the day trying to fenaggle an interview with SOMEONE.

Today also marks the ninth day of Protests in Madison.  Now as a future employee of the private sector I am divided on the issue. I think the teachers union needs to make a few concessions. However I feel teachers are being constantly picked on by government.

Education I feel is the foundation of our society. when Egypt and Tunisia Roll into the modern economic system we will have even more workers willing to work for less hungry for whatever they can get. This will only increase the pressure to create better thinkers at home who can solve problems easier. If we drive the teaching profession into chaos or any sort of situation where students cannot thrive we have only shot ourselves in the foot. the children of today will be running this place tomorrow making big decisions on how our country runs in the future. I wish teachers were given the respect they deserve and the profession of teaching was ranked right up there with a doctor or lawyer. Let us all today, take a moment and thank those teachers who've made a difference in our lives.
