Or is it hot outside? It’s not so bad now, but when I got home from work, there was a hot breeze blowing that made me want to move to San Fransisco.
It’s good to be back home, though. Vacation was nice, but the cat missed me.
And, if I ever get a reasonable internet connection at work, I’ll try to get back in the habit of posting regularly. I know I’ve been a bad, bad blogger lately.
Starting tonight and continuing until next Tuesday night, I will have no internet access. Well, that’s not entirely true. I will have some internet access through AOL dial-up. But that doesn’t really count, does it?
Anyway, I won’t be posting. But I’ll be back next week.
Or maybe it’s new heights. I guess that depends on your point of view. I’ve been doing a little fooling around with some C++ with GCC. I’m doing a little baseball simulating, and it’s going well. If it continues to go well, I’ll eventually have a little executable that generates pages and pages of wonderful statistics that I can do all sorts of wonderful things with.
I realize I’m in a very small minority with my obsession with baseball statistics, but those of us here (And by ‘here’, I mean ‘In the crazy minority’) are really into it. The wife doesn’t really understand, but as long as I don’t sit here writing code and ignoring her while she’s talking, I think she’ll humor me.
I’m a little disappointed with Eclipse, however. It was slow, error messages were unhelpful, and code completion was iffy. And since code completion is one of the greatest things about an IDE, its absence is kind of a deal breaker. It may be partly a function of my crappy computer, though.
So I’m currently coding in Gedit and doing command-line compiling. It’s fine so far, but I haven’t done anything really complicated.
Anyway, it’s fun.
