Journal Journal: Yet Another Bang... or Bust?

Journal by GrantZ on Wednesday December 31, 2003 @10:54AM

So here it is, another year-end. And I'm at work. Again. Along with about 2% of the company. What a waste. And once again, productivity will be 0% today. In any event, this was different than last. Not better. Just different. Maybe a little worse. Why?...

We DID go to war with Iraq over oil. Don't believe me? Just ask Haliburton. But, soldiers keep dying, and my tax money is now building another country, not my own. Nice.

Even tho this post is late, it's just to proove a point...

I am not sure this is what he was referring to. The URL was not a M$ URL, but rather a .Net pet store type thing, but not the pet store. He spoke of singleton-type patterns and how new they were and how M$ thinks of everything, etc.

Yes, the URL you refer to is the .Net version of Sun's J2EE design patterns, and yes, I do understand the difference between academic design patterns and technology specific concepts. I am finishing my software engineering Masters thesis on the topic, so please don't lecture me on what I may and may not understand.

Journal Journal: Out With A Bang

So, I am @ work right now... on New Year's Eve. Out of an estimated 100 employees in my department, I think me and 2 others are the only ones in today. Lovely. I get to spend 8 hours reading websites about how this year will end. If you are too busy to investigate this yourself, here's the summary:

North Korea is willing to start a nuclear war over nothing.
We are going to go to war next year with Iraq over oil.
If Iraq is tied to al Queda, then invade Iraq.
