More botting

I’ve been having a bit of fun with my bot still. There’s a bit of user tracking in place. There’s a bit of data caching going on. There’s a little interactivity. It’s not finished by a long shot, but I’ve really enjoyed coding with a purpose for a few days at least. I’ve also had…

Com

I don’t know how they did it, but Canonical turned the normally frustrating and inane Eclipse environment set up into a god damn dog’s breakfast rotting on the steps to the portal of hell. I used to want to do a little brushing up on my Eclipse/Struts/Ajax skills but now I mostly just want to…

Javadoc library

The great reorganization and unit test extravaganza continues. I’ve got most of my various and sundry projects migrated to use the NetBeans IDE.

If you’ve been looking for an open-source java parser for mathematical expressions, your search is over. Never was interested in building a parser,…

Dynamic Classes

I’ve spent about a month trying to work around needing to write / compile Java classes dynamically because I thought it would be an utter PITA. Turns out dynamic classes are not so difficult after all. /me wipes egg from his face and feels dumb for not consulting the Internet sooner.

Uncomfortable Truths

So I asked this question on Ask Metafilter because I’ve been trying to figure out a sticky (to me) problem. I’m not sure how I want to model this using Java. Among the answers provided (all seem top-notch so far) was a link to an article, Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns. Even though it…
