Three books on my to read list

And people wonder why it takes me ages to return a book….

java.net: JJGuidelines: “a set of conventions and guidelines for java and J2EE related development.’

TSS: Java Testing and Design: “how to understand what application you want to write, what strategies are likely to get you there, and then how to measure your level of success.”

TSS: The J2EE Architect’s Handbook: “is written for technical architects and senior developers tasked with designing and leading the development of J2EE java applications”>

I’m actually a little depressed

See… this is what happens when you start to post personal stuff… you gotta post follow-thru! Next thing you know you’re fired at work for posting while working.

Anyway…I need to vent. It sucks to record a song for a show to play, and the show hearing the song giving you a great review and saying it’s going to happen, and then it doesn’t. I sat there on the edge of my seat, and then nadda. Nothing.

Hopefully the band can find solace in the effort and what we’ve learned by doing it. Maybe they’ll give me permission to share it on the web. We’ll see. If so, I’ll post a link here.

Good morning, you no longer have overtime

Millions of American workers are due to lose their overtime pay based on new rules that go into effect today. That’s the Bush Administration for you. Friend of the middle class!

Prediction: These changes will be rolled into effect by employers very slowly. Once they reach you, the outrage will have been so dissipated that all you will see about it when you complain is a helpless shrug.
