i'm well chuffed

i've been a busy little bee in the background the past few weeks. i've been reluctant (for obvious reasons known only to me) to mention it, but i've made some good progress and i'm darn happy and wanna just tell somebody (after all these days of slogging).

during my 2 weeks leave i spent 1 week learning the theory of java. the next week i was back at work and keen to start trying out some stuff, but i never had the time, it was chaotic and busy. then i had another week off and i tried to focus on learning the language and the concepts but it was hard to focus when the sun was shining outside ;)

so far this week i have had some time to explore and i'm overjoyed. i've got an assignment from the course that has to be handed in next week and it's all falling into place. when it's done i'll put it on the site so you can see what i did.

i've also been thinking about adding search functionality to this website. but i'll only start scoping that out after i've finished my java project.

in the meantime here's an addictive little applet that gave me plenty of insight into buttons and arrays: pairs (not my work by the way. also, i tested in mozilla and it doesn't work, so check it out in internet explorer folks!). you'll need the java plug-in to view it and java enabled on your browser...

and today is thirsty thursday, yay!
