dynamic loading..

Some experiments with classloaders and reflection to keep me occupied this week. I do have other work to finish, but having written an eval style plugin system in Perl ages ago, I was curious to see how Java implements it.

A bit tricky, but seems ok, so far.

Also figured out LaTex, well, some parts of it, at least. I like it. I don't think it will ever completely replace Open Office or Word for me, but I am reasonably fast in writing things without referring to the markup references. Ultimately, I just used Cygwin and tossed specialized GUI editors out. My supervisor was trying to egg me onto using Emacs. scowl. Never!
