Well - it is the language for native Android development. I think that will mean something for a while.
And I think you can still make good money working on Cobol - so there is that.

I watch lots of game and movie trailers - or ads - and love it.

I didn't know about either of those things. Thanks.
I'm busy being happy that Yosemite has finally made it easy to see which programs are still running. I have no idea how people ever though this was easier.

This is a nice resource. It's written in Java but below the examples is a list with links to known ports in a number of other languages.
Journal Journal: A World Clock with an Analog Face 2
I'm still learning a lot about my Mac and getting better at using it. Today I was going over trackpad gestures and learned that there is this "Notification Center" that I can pull out by swiping in from the side with 2 fingers. I had no idea it was there. It's mostly useless. I don't care about stock quotes. I don't use any of the Apple calendar, reminder or other stuff. But I did think that the world clock thing was a good idea.
On my living room computer that is hooked to my

The Sixth Stage of Grief is Retro-Computing
This is just a beautiful piece of writing. It doesn't match my experience perfectly but so many notes really resonate with me. It's funny, I've been on this Steve Jobs video binge lately and this just fits right in.
I had to scroll down to start reading the piece, which threw me for a second, but again - I really recommend reading this. It'

Thanks.
The pain was pretty difficult for a while but for the moment I'm pretty comfortable. Hopefully it will stay that way until after I can get the surgery.

Appreciate it.
I think everything will be fine. And at the moment the pain is really limited. So all things considered, it could be tons worse.
Journal Journal: My Spine 4
I have a herniated disc (disk?) (Apparently disk if I follow AMA guidelines. huh.) in my neck. Apparently in a common place. It's protruding pretty far into my spine and pushing on my spinal cord. I think it's also in contact with nerve roots. I don't know all the right terms. I make my wife crazy because medical stuff doesn't interest me. It's like car maintenance. I just want to hand it off to people who know. But since it looks like I need surgery, I have to be more involved in this as it'

I live in a suburb of Budapest and T-Mobile provides everything I get from them over ip. Television, phone and internet. I wonder if this means I'd pay that tax on all of it - on top of the other taxes already being paid.

Are you aware of how Fidesz came into the position they currently hold.
Hungary ( very much like the US ) has no shortage of politicians across the left to right spectrum who are only out to enrich themselves and their friends rather than leading well to the benefit of everyone. It's sad but I don't think uncommon.

It doesn't matter how poorly it is misspelled. Gulyásleves is nothing like what Americans picture when they say goulash.
Hungary is a great place to live by the way - if you've got the cash to be comfortable.

I haven't posted in a bit. I was travelling and then busy when I got back.
I spent a week-end in Vajta and then a few days later I was in Athens for a week. Greece is a very pretty place. The weather was fantastic. Vajta was also really nice. Here in Hungary we are getting into fall and that may be my favorite season. Growing up in the Southwest I didn't experience such a high degree of change every year and I'm really loving it now.
