As part of a major economization move, chez Shotwell-Hansen is engaged in training our domestic animals in all manner of professional careers. Gigi has elected to follow in my footsteps and seek a career in IT. We’re getting her started with an A+ Certification. Here are some photos of her doing some homework: I think…
It’s one of those top-posted email chains. Probably best read from the bottom up. Oh, and HTML formatting by MS Outlook so there goes my validation… OTOH, I’m too lazy to clean it up so I get what’s coming to me I guess. Anyway, without further ado: From: XXXXXX, Anthony Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009…
So I am joined into an IM session by my scrum master with one of our special needs developers. He [the special needs guy] cannot check out code from the repository.

JMEP is exactly what I’ve been beating my head over for the past few weeks. Seriously way better than what I was writing and, from the testing I’ve done, way more robust. If you’ve been looking for an open-source java parser for mathematical expressions, your search is over. Never was interested in building a parser,…
