Pet Project

Been working on a small program for note taking. I call it CommandLine. Yeah I'm sure that's nothing new and exciting.

It's meant to be 100% keyboard interactive, you shouldn't have to use your mouse. So far the project is working out rather nice. We'll see how well it ends up... by which I mean how often I use it.

The commands are pretty simple. To list your files you simply type 'ls'. To save a file you're working on, you type 'save'. To end the program you either type 'quit' or 'exit'. If you just type the word today, it will create a file for today using year.dayofyear notation.

Like I said, it's nothing really exciting. Just a little program I cooked up for kicks. I plan to implementing some kind of backup/archive feature plus having the ability to delete text files etc. all without having to touch the mouse.

We'll see how well this goes.

Utils

So... been thinking. There are some things that I code over and over again... sometimes it's a copy and paste type of thing. Why not make my own utils.jar file that I can just include in other projects?

Yeah... something like that. So I think I'll be working on that next.

Right now I have three categories that come to mind.

1. String
2. Xml
3. Text

I know one of the main things I tend to do is read in a file and then work with that content. Afterwards I save the output to a file. So yes, def will be creating methods/classes to read in files, and then export files. Should be an interesting project to work on.

Spotify

Okay... let's talk about Spotify for a second or two. Spotify is a music service. You can either get a free account or a paid account. As usual the paid account has more bells and whistles to it.

It's streaming music. You can't download any songs, but you can stream it to your computer. With the paid account, which is $5 a month, you can stream music on our phone thru their iPhone or Android app.

The service has been around for a few years. Due to copyright bleh it just became available in the U.S.

Anywhoo... I enjoy it. Peoples should def check it out.

Hello Tuesday

Well it's Tuesday. :-) Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing actually. I do know that it's not Monday anymore... so yes has to be a good thing. Unless it turns out to be a Monday... then we're in trouble. I've heard that Tuesday's can actually be Monday's in disguise. Don't ask me how that works... I just know that it does.

Last week for example, yes last week's Tuesday was Monday in sheep's clothing. Such a bad day that was... I can't even recall what happened it was that bad. LOL I'm sure it was nothing though... because well A) I can't remember and B) I'm still here. So yes nothing too horrific must have taken place.

So for now, I"ll just take today as it comes to me... not worry too much about anything, and see where that takes me. Oh and I'll be listening to music... lots of music. I love Spotify. If you've not checked it out... do check it out. Streaming music with limited commercial interruption. I love it.

Pets

Well, one kitty is in the window. Another kitty is... someplace else. Third kitty is... yeah someplace else.

Doggy is asleep on the couch. Such a good doggy he is... sure he doesn't always do what he's supposed to do, I mean what dog does? Yeah something like that. He's getting better in the stores. Well Pet's Mart and Petco that is. Tonight Gage was trying to lick a ferret at the store. Such a good doggy he is. The ferret seemed to like the attention. But no, we couldn't get the ferret. We have too many pets as it is.

Gage then turned his attention to the birds... he wanted to play with them too, but well they were behind glass. Couldn't do anything about that now could he.

Crazy People and their Crazy Ways

So... I'm watching Deadly Women. Wow... this is quite the show.

Currently it's about teens who kill their parents. They're kinda nuts... okay more than kinda. I guess that's why they're on this show. Very weird stuff going on.

Is it weird that I enjoy the show? o.O Not what they do of course. Because that would be psycho and crazy.

Yeah give it a shot sometime... the um watching of the show. Not what they do.
