Battlestar Galactica.
Tuesday, January 30, 2007
I'll admit, I only started watching the show in its third season because of Grace Park (her FHM shoot was awesome!)and Tricia Helfer. I finally had a chance to watch it from the beginning, and this show is actually very well written. I started Sunday and I'm half way through the first season.

I seriously recommend you all to give this show a try. You might love it or hate it, but just give it a try.

Bears vs. Colts!!!
Sunday, January 21, 2007
Grace, Sohel, Long, Vikram and I met up at Buffalo Wild Wings in the Village earlier today for two AWESOME games! Grace and I were the only ones who watched the entire two games. Vikram and Long came in time for the second game and Sohel left early. Grace, our waitress and I were going for the NFC and AFC champs: Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts!

This SuperBowl is going to be awesome, GO COLTS!

Want to Move to Houston Midtown?
Saturday, January 20, 2007
I've moved out from a friend's townhouse. I'm stuck in a lease (reletting fee) for a few months and if anyone is looking for a temporary stay to test the waters in Houston Midtown, please email me.

It's a great location. Clubs, bars, lounges are nearby. Downtown is but a few rail stops away. Seriously, this place is awesome.

Knights of the Round Table.
Saturday, January 13, 2007
I've been talking to James and Shey about having a round table discussion about new and matured technologies. It'd be great to keep in learning since I've been out of school for so long.

Let me know if you're interested in something like this and we can start reading up on them, make presentations, and possibly create a mock project. Shey also suggested to podcast them. I want to get started mid-February. I'm starting up on Spring MVC and Struts, since I need to learn it for work.

Some initial topics I'm interested in are: Spring MVC, Struts, AJAX, and RoR.

A Few Movie Reviews.
Thursday, January 11, 2007
We got the trial for Full Access from Blockbuster and I think we've decided to keep it.

What I've watched so far:
TitleRatingComments
Appleseed5Awesome new age anime. Good plot, good everything.
Metropolis1Do not watch unless you have time to kill. Imagination gone a little too wild.
Illusionist4A bit slow at times, but very well written and directed.
Miami Vice2Kind of interesting, but a bit hard stay awake to it. I like the huge M82 sniper rifle they use, it's a downgraded version of the M95 I use in Battlefield 2!


What I want to watch: 24 (all), Sopranos (all), The Godfather (all), Scarface, Snakes on a Plane, World Trade Center, Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Munich, All the King's Men, Ice Age, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, The Passion of The Christ, Fulltime Killer, Ghost in the Shell, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Irreversible, Schindler's List, American History X, GoodFellas, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Citizen Kane, Why We Fight, For All Mankind.

Any more suggestions?

Class, ClassHome, ClassPK
Wednesday, January 03, 2007
So I'm doing an analysis of the BBOM project in order for a smooth rewrite, analytics, and just to see all what's really going down in this application. After some digging this morning, I bump into the xxx.xxx.xxx.data package:

My Friends: class, classHome, and classPK.

It has 147 classes total. Most (47 x 3 = 141) of which are in the format of AccountingType, AccountingTypeHome, and AccountingTypePK.

Here's a jist of they do...
AccountingType: accounting code and description with the normal constructors/getter/setters.
AccountingTypeHome: accounting type ids (8 of them), maps DB entries into human-readable items.
AccountingTypePK: specific class' id from AccountingType's code. OMG WHY?!

They ALL extend from General, GeneralHome, and GeneralPK which, you guessed it, contains no code, no structure, NOTHING. It's just an empty abstract base class.
