Wtvr dude...

I'm really tired and for some reason, instead of going off to bed to enjoy the warm comfort of my bed and a good book, I'm writing a bloody blog post. Today was pretty hell yeah. I got a lot done and felt pretty good about it overall. I found, while constructing a Java-based Twitter client, that my Java's pretty darn rusty. That's something I'm going to need to refine in the coming months, I suppose. NetBeans is great, though...at least for Java stuff. Going to do some Ruby in it tomorrow and see how it works out. (I actually tried it with a simple "hello world" program and the interpreter seemed kinda slow...doesn't bode well for NetBeans Ruby, I'm afraid)

My roommate got a drum kit (bongo pictured above[also that is not my roommate...]) and is playing it right now (perhaps this is why I'm not going to bed quite yet...). He's not really playing anything that sounds remotely musical yet, but has mostly just been banging around on it, testing the tensile strength of the heads or some such I suppose... All I know is that it's loud and sometimes disturbs concentration levels.

I'm really really glad to not be programming on my laptop anymore. I'm sure nobody else cares but I certainly do and I feel it my duty to inform fledgling coders who might make attempts to code on a screen smaller than 17" JUST DON'T DO IT!

I love listening to techno/electronica while I code (courtesy Pandora.com).

That is all.

Goodnight.
