How are the TPD collective?

Knackered. I didn't take this job to actually do work, FFS.

Knackered.

I feel the same way about everybody switching to C++. At least with assembly language you knew what the processor was going to do, because you'd told it

C++ is to C as Lung Cancer is to Lung

A sentiment with which I find it difficult to disagree.

Turns out getting the remaining bookcases assembled and against the wall is going to be a minor pain, in that some other stuff has to be moved around at least temporarily. So I've put that off to tomorrow and have unpacked some more books onto the currently-completed shelves instead.

It looks like I will have at least one 76cm-wide shelf entirely filled with O'Reilly "animal" books - and that's just the full-size ones, not any of the smaller …in a Nutshell and what-have-you editions.

My copies of Java in a Nutshell alone - going back to the first edition (published last millennium) but possibly not including the most recent - must take up a foot or more in their own right.

Fun fact: I have never used Java in a contract beyond knocking out the occasional throwaway utility program of maybe a hundred lines or so

Last day in UAE. Will spend it by the pool. Asleep. My favourite.
