“Oh, no, don’t cry… you’re so ugly when you cry…”

First new blog post in over a year: http://www.blueraja.com/blog/285/branchless-conditionals-compiler-optimization-technique

//Java
Set set = new TreeSet();
List list = new ArrayList();

for(int i = -3; i < 3; i++)
{
    set.add(i);
    list.add(i);
}
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
    set.remove(i);
    list.remove(i);
}

System.out.println(set);
System.out.println(list);

Output:
[-3, -2, -1]
[-2, 0, 2]

“You must restart Windows to complete update of Chessmaster” – what is this, 1995?

I leave Valerie alone in the kitchen for two minutes, and when I come back the stove is on fire.

Today I told a co-worker I didn’t like a book he lent me, Pro WCF (avg. amazon rating: 2.7), and he told me, “Well, it’s a very technical book, and technical books aren’t for everyone.”

I left it at that to avoid conflict over a stupid book (trying to get on his good side), but I wanted to tell him I exclusively read technical books: my light reading for lunch was How Cars Work, and tonight I’m going to snuggle up with a research paper on “level-order unary degree succinct trie representations.”

Netflix now has 135 episodes of The Twilight Zone on instant play.

Good bye, free time.

Today is my last day of being a vegetarian. Tomorrow is an all-day animal-eating party!!!

there is an air of bitter resentment at the office now that my coworkers know I am getting married… and they are not invited.

When I walk into the library I feel like a criminal, because I know I’m not allowed to walk out with a book without paying my exorbitant fines.
