Well, I confirmed that

Well, I confirmed that TemplatePower does pretty much everything I need it to do... it's a bit too simple, which makes the templates a bit too complicated, but that's all right. Porting my todolist application to templates definitely put it through its paces, since that little bugger has some pretty complicated dynamic behaviour in it.

I think I got sidetracked a bit though - so I need to get back to my enrollment system. I think I'm set for doing some work on that tomorrow. I've got choir tomorrow so I won't be able to do a lot of work on it, but hopefully I can have a bit of a tailormade enrollment system going by the end of tomorrow night.

Had fun with the glob today - we have started a bizarre story about time traveling in the old west. After discussing a lot about time travel paradoxes, I realized how helpful thinking about time travel is towards understanding multi-threaded programming techniques. When we started talking about how changing the past spawns a new alternate timeline, and wondering how to communicate between and account for all the timelines, it was just like how I felt reading my java thread programming book.

Now off to bed... need to get to sleep soon so I can continue to get my schedule back on track again. Knocked an hour off of my nocturnalness last night, so it's time to keep that trend going. Posted by Curt at February 13, 2002 01:48 AM
