Humm.... maybe I should figure out a different title. Ah well. The title sort of spoiled my story, but long the jist of it is that my copy of
Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix has arrived. Yay me! I am sure that I can use all my spare time reading it. ;-) I think that right now I'll only read it at night. I'll save my
Effective Java book for the bus ride in. I see now what
Ryan and
Peter were talking about. I'm mostly reading it straight though with some minor skipping around. Some things in it we have been following in our project group, some not, but nothing big. I just read the defensive copying section, which I thought that pretty smart.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I thought that
today's Penny Archade was pretty funny. From the look of the cover, I think that I like the one that we got here better than the
one that they got in the states. Why do they do everything differently? What is fine for the rest of the world isn't okay for them, so they have to change it? *sigh* Some times I really just don't understand.
Now all I have to do is resist reading my book and actually clean my room. Give me strength...

Update: I didn't notice at first what the girl behind the counter was wearing / had on her forehead. hee hee... nice touch. ;-)
Canada often gets British copies of books because the spelling is the same. That could explain the cover.
ReplyDeleteDefensive copying is important when using mutable objects. For example, in the Session Repository I was getting strange results with my testing until I realized I had to make defensive copies on writes and reads. :) Check out the code - it's in CVS. My project at work uses immutable objects and doesn't have that problem. ;)
