Current Goings On
it’s 9ish, and I’m watching House.. I pulled an almost all nighter last night at work to get caught back up with the actual coding i’m doing. I have been so caught up in doing planning, design, tracking down wacky issues, etc etc.
I’m pretty tired after not sleeping so much and there’s been so much stuff going on. Work, home, church, and personal stuff. sometimes I feel really overwhelmed.. like I’m almost incapable of holding it all together.
My hockey team won our championship game, but honestly, it wasn’t as hard as I thought… the other team took a ton of penalties and basically beat themselves.
I keep thinking I have something to say, but as it turns out… I don’t.

Work.
I don’t usually talk much about work and stuff I do there, because, honestly, no-one is interested.
I’ve been doing some research the last couple days about how to deal with some tricky little issues in swing – we have some designers at work who work with us and then design storyboards based on how they think things should work. Then it’s up to us to figure out a way to make it happen. Here’s the problem I’ve been working on for our thick client (Java/Swing). Let’s say that I have a JTable and I want to have multiple things appear in a cell.. for our example, we have a person’s name in column one, and a list of the foods they like in column 2. So far, so good, right? You make a multi-line renderer with a text area or Jlist, and have it calculate the appropriate size, etc.
Now it gets tricky. What if the user should be able to select one food from the list inside a single cell?
And then drag it out into another component.
Not easy but doable.

Oh yes HHH one of my favorites.
“All the goood themes have been done. Used up, and turned into theme parks.” Maybe a theme park is what we need here. Maybe we just need to get away from the whole mess we call wrok and life for a while. There is an interisting question in this post somewhere I think. What would we do if money didn’t matter and we were left up to our own devices to do what we wanted to do with our day. I know if I was not driven by the need for a paycheck I would do something else with the daylight hours

Elvish Catholic Orthodox.
Chris and I were talking about weddings and marriages and I had an interesting question, or, perhaps thought-stream would be more accurate.
Let’s take the D& D realms and have a posit:
1) Assume that there is an Elvish Catholic Orthodox church.
2) Elves can’t be resurrected.
Now we get to the real interesting thing: In catholic wedding ceremonies, there is a “till death do us part” clause (looking at it from the POV of a contract. If one of the two dies, the other is effectively ‘released’ from the contract.
Now, let’s just say that two humans(Sam and Suzie) convert to this religion, and are married. Sam stays home, and Suzie dies fighting a grumpy troll. She is later resurrected. Meanwhile, Sam, trying to cope with Suzie’s untimely demise has sought the comfort of Arwen, a comely elven lass. Suzie returns and finds Sam locked in some unforseen pose with Arwen and a feather duster, and is incredibly mad. She attempts to ‘divorce’ him and take him for all his inherited wealth, citing grounds of adultery.
Sam countermands with the fact that once Suzie died, they were no longer married, and he was free to seek out any companionship that he desired.
Now throw in the fact that Arwen is really a money grubbing floozabel who has no desire to be with Sam, and in fact has her eyes on Elhand the Half-Elf gardner from next door.
Does the fact that Suzie died nullify the marriage, or does the ressurection constitute grounds on which the marriage is still legal?

I’m pretty sure that when the death trigger was invoked the marriage was set to NULL and when the resurrect human callback subsequently occurred trying to access the marriage caused this exception. I recommend a reboot to clear memory.

Before I can make my final opinion, I need to know what color was the feather duster?
