Jay McGavren's Journal

Diana’s been watching Alton Brown on Food Network. This is a bad thing because it convinces her we need all kinds of kitchen gear. It’s a good thing because this week alone, I have enjoyed from-scratch cinnamon rolls, and this lovely little chili recipe:

It still blows my mind that my wife not only understands what it means to “fire up a Perl interpreter”, but appreciates the overhead involved.

I have chosen… wisely.

Annnnd… the car’s back from the shop. $60 to find that a bolt was missing from the brake assembly and replace it. It wasn’t the CV joint at all.

Did I mention the last people to work on the brakes were my father in law and myself? And I doubt the mistake was my father in law’s. I really need to stick to coding.

The car’s in the shop (probably a bad CV joint from running around with an off-kilter rotor for so long), so I’m telecommuting today…

Anyway, I’m working from the Lappy on the couch while D sleeps in the bedroom. The dog’s sleeping next to me on the couch, and he’s “running” in his sleep again.

I’ve never watched a sleeping dog before, probably because I’ve never owned a dog that was allowed in the house before, so this is amusing to me. His four legs twitch independently in an odd rhythm that might or might not actually get him somewhere if he were awake. He’s probably chasing a cat in his dream or something.

The call: > CodeConvDAO(transaction).get(code, system.toString(), context.toString())

The declaration: > public CodeConvRecord get(String sysCode, String context, String code) throws DAOException {…}

…Even without knowing Java, you can probably figure out what’s wrong with the call. (Hint: the order of the parameters.)

So of course I don’t see it until the moment my co-worker arrives at my desk to help me troubleshoot…
