Some breakthroughs

I recently picked up a book ( a very large, yet reasonably priced one) all about Java, and the parts of it, and how they work. It is amazing, I tells ya. Already, I think the thing may have saved me thousands upon thousands of lines of tedious code. It is a godsend. I will be using it for quite some time, I think.

I think, when I get back to my dorm room (I am at home right now), I will download the new version of Netbeans onto my computer, and mess around with that for a little bit. Then, when I am comfortable, I will start something of another major rewrite of my code. I will first phase in part of my new idea for shortening the code, and then, bit by bit add other parts of my ideas.

So, I believe I shall have some new, and most interesting stuff to show for my hard work sometime in the next two or three weeks. I do not know how long it will take me to program, but I will be using stuff I have never touched before, so it might take a while to figure it all out.

I have to sort things out in my head right now, and keep them in my head for a few days, until I get back to my room and my computer (I really should have brought it with me, but I thought I needed the break from programming). But, once I have my ideas down somewhere, and I no longer am burdened with having to remember them, I will go through them here, for anyone who reads this to see.

Later, kids.
