I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen

---

 

There are some days when I'm so freakin' awesome that I can hardly believe it. I just managed to make the impossible graphics library that I've been fighting with integrating into my prototype for a couple of weeks work, not only from my machine, but from Java Webstart (so anyone can run it). I finally determined that the problem was including the .dll files in the download... and figured out how to do it.

Now I'm happy. Because this means I'll have something that is actually testable to send overseas at the end of next month for user testing. Unless I run into more problems between now and then.

This is why I love coding... the buzz you get from solving a problem in a innovative way, and seeing it work (after hours and hours and days and days of seeing it not work).

If it makes you happy...

---

 

Things that make me happy:

1. Warm Januarys. (Even if it's cold today).
   
2. paintImmediately(). Because there's nothing like immediate feedback.
   
3. Backdoor code hacks that save me time and effort, but are completely transparent to the user.
   
4. Pandora. I've said it before, but it bears repeating.
   
5. Advil. Without which I would have died of a headache.
   
6. Applesauce. With Cinnamon. Who ever invented that should be sainted or something.

Predictable errors and no identity

A funny take on software engineering methods. (very true, though...)

Preacher sent me this... too funny. Especially after the conversation Dr. Moore and I had about him teaching Fortran at the University back in the day. Only the Aerospace people do Fortran here now I think.... :-)
