Today is a day

 Today is definitely a day. I'm not sure there is anything good which can be said about it. Other than the fact that it's another week. Another week to feel stressed and other things. But well you know how this all works right? Some would have you believe that life comes and goes long into that great night never to be heard from again. But that's now how any of it works.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Babylon 5 Destruction

 I always get emotional watching the last episode of Babylon 5. Especially the destruction of the station. There are so many good memories of the series that it's just emotional watching JMS flipping the switch and the station exploding as the last transport leaves. It's like oh the series is really over. The station has served its purpose not needed anymore. Was peace ever really achieved though? It makes me wonder. I've only watched the series once all the way through, I'm on a second rewatch. One of my favorite characters is Mr. Morden. I'm not sure why that's the case, he's creepy as all get out. I just know that he intrigues me for some reason or another. Kosh is also a mystery, but he's meant to be that way. He's an alien that no one seems to understand or grasp. The whole story arc is simply amazing. It was television ahead of its time. I'm glad it was made. Talk about a brilliant television series. It was one of the first serialized shows...

Return The File Extension of a File

So this little method will return the file extension of a file. That is, it will look for the dot (.) in a filename and return the remaining characters after it. Notice that it makes sure it's a file and not a directory. /** * Returns the extension of a file * * @param filename the name of the file * @return the extension of the filename */ public static String getExtension(String filename) { String ext = null; File file = new File(filename); if (file.exists() && file.isFile()) { ext = filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf(".") + 1); } return ext; } Pretty simple no? Yeah that's what I was thinking. You can easily put this in a FileUtils class that you might be building. It could come in handy. Please remember that the file extension does not dictate what the file type is. It's just an extension.
