Troy

We went to see Troy over the weekend.

JAR Version Magic

Eugene posted some interesting comments on including version information directly in a JAR's manifest. “I did not know that.” — Very nice, though somewhat limiting.

Wasabi Chips

Do you like Wasabi? And I don't mean the badly dubbed movie we recently watched.

Do you like Tim's Cascade chips?

I just picked up a small bag of the limited edition at the grocery store. This stuff is the bomb. If it wasn't for the high-carbs, it would probably be my snack of choice.

GUI Designer

I needed to quickly build a simple Serial Number generation application for one of the projects I'm currently working on. Since I pretty much suck at doing UIs, I decided to give the IDEA GUI Designer a try.

As a prototyping tool, it simply rocks. I wouldn't want to do very complex UIs with it, but for the simple stuff, it's pretty straight forward.

In many ways it reminds me of the CodeWarrior GUI thingy, but more powerful. More complex to use though. I did haveP to read the tutorial and had to hunt for the ant integration instructions.
