Go look up the "singleton" pattern. The basic details are:
give the pieLog class a private constructor
give the class an instance variable that holds a reference to an
instance of pieLog
give the pieLog class a static getPieLog() method that:
1) if the instance variable is null, calls the private
constructor
2) returns the object inside the instance variable,
It's late, I'm tired, I haven't even looked at source code in a
month or two, and haven't looked at a singleton in many months, so go
read up on it. It's been discussed many, many times.
