Another guy in the department introduced me to xtris, we play it inbetween work and I suck at it. Bleargh.
I managed to actually sort out part of the classloader. Whatever else you want to call Java, they are organized. Not exactly organized in the Perl sense, but things seem a bit more predictable to me than when I first started out. I no longer spend irrational moments wishing I was doing the same job in Perl.. is that just getting used to a language or is it growing up in general? Maybe a bit of both :)
