Blogger Meetup

Signed up for the blogger meetup later this month. Really need to do a better job of getting out. Too much work not enough time.

More Time

I wish I had more time to indulge in my hobbies.

Priorities

| Comments

Part of my problem is I have trouble doing things when I come back from work. I’m typically mentally tired that I don’t feel like doing anything. That’s bad. After work hours are my personal time to do the stuff I need to do. Part of the problem is my lack of exercise in recent months. Exercise is one of those Quadrant 2 activities described in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. They are the important but not urgent things that you do so that when crisis arise you will be better prepared to deal with it.

So starting next week, I’m gonna try to do 1 hour of exercise at least 3 times.

Java and Bistro Objects

| Comments

I’m thinking about one of the problems with Bistro which is that Java and Bistro objects don’t mix very well. The problem is that there are two parallel object hierarchies.

I’m thinking that I need to write a Java program that will create proxy objects for Bistro. Wrap the various methods calls for a Java object. I’m not quite sure what the drawbacks are. I tried it out a bit earlier this week but generating bistro code is gonna take a little more work than I expected.

My current plan is to have xml-ify the java class definition and then parse the xml in ruby and generate bistro code. The ruby part is there because I’ve been meaning to try out some ruby.
