This C++ criticism is perplexing.

Found over at Planet GNOME a criticism of C++ by Callum McKenzie. Now, Callum is always on top of his game, but his argument sounds suspiciously like, “Boy I wish C++ didn’t have this feature.”

Shift works starts today

So I start on the second phase of my Nuclear Prototype schooling today. The first phase was similar to Nuclear Power School in that there were a lot of lectures, even though it wasn’t the same classroom atmosphere, we still had a schedule we had to follow for the most part.

Comprehensive Exam

Tale of a computer bug

I finally fixed a bug that has been pestering me for literally months. It is bug 117541.

I’ve rectified that, which should be especially useful for my family members who read this and share my propensity for not remembering to record important email addresses. ;-)
