My face when I went to install Oracle’s JDK 9 on a 32-bit Windows 7 laptop and found they don’t support it anymore:

:/

Look at what just popped up on a news site...

I know this is unrelated but...

I honestly have to say that nowadays, the only company I trust with my information is Apple. If I ever get a voice controlled speaker at home it'll definitely be from Apple.

I have begun to prefer a single monitor over multiple ones. Currently I have my laptop and a 1080 23" at home. I have been getting used to just the 23" with the laptop closed. With multiple workspaces/desktops I find it quicker to just use my keyboard to switch over to look at something and switch back.

Which leads me to consider a single ultrawide monitor for my next upgrade. Thanks for reading.

This morning I received an image of my custom mouse pad. I almost cried tears of joy. Now for the long wait as it comes from China...

McDonald's is savage

Jus ordered my custom Iron Man mouse pad here: http://s.aliexpress.com/vIjq6NZz

Now I can't wait for it to get here 😬

git commit -m "It's 4:59pm, let me commit since it seems like a sane choice even though everything is currently broken"

Just started a new job three weeks ago. I was doing pair programming with another developer that has been there two years; I was assigned an issue and wanted his opinion on it. He implemented a fix that involved multiple complex if statements.

He was surprised after I went ahead and showed him that the variable in question could be used (it was either 0, null, or > 0) like a boolean. I brought it down to 3 lines; a single if statement. Felt like a boss.

I love marine life as relaxation. I would make it a hobby but I can't imagine who would take care of a saltwater aquarium when I leave home for a few days.

I have really been digging the Material Theme for Sublime and JetBrains IDE's.

Started a new job. My title on the employment agreement form?

"Developer"

Oops!!

A.I. Developer

Got hooked on some podcasts lately: Arrested DevOps, The PHP Roundtable, and JavaScript Jabber.

People talking around me.

Just took my Phy I final, now for Phy II this fall. All for the sake of a CS degree...

When can you start?

Nothing fancy...😮

Vamos Puerto Rico!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

My new buddy!

How was yours?

Was working on a CRM/CMS type of app until I recently got placed into a data and analytics project. Soon to be machine learning. But web applications will always hold a dear spot in my heart ❤️

My salary. They came back with a solid counteroffer on what was supposed to be my last day and here I am.
