Took a Day off

I took today off.   I felt horrible when the alarm went off.   TUrned it off and remained in bed until time for my therapist to call.  The call went well.

I called my boss & my PM, but she didn't get my vmail.   My obss told her in my staff meeting, so she sent a text.

I went back to bed and slept another 5 hours.   I went to bed early the night before, so I guessw I really needed it.  I stayed up just long enough to tkae meds and eat a little.   I was hungry, but the thought of eating digusted me.  I also took 2 of the strong pain meds, and watched a show online waiting for them to take effect.

I watched a remake of "Heman and the Masters of the Universe" from 2002.   The animation was much better 3D.   The storylines were much faster, and losts of action.  The swordplay was really professional.   The one on one fight scenes are pretty good.   A little to much sword/astaff spinning to show-off, but I liked that too.   And they still had the corny lines.   When Skeletor causes an avalanche to cover Heman, he siad "Your friend has good highting skills, but he has a rocky finish.  HA hahahahah".

once the meds kicked in, I needed to sleep again - for another 2 hours.   The pain is tolerable now, but still constant.   I am hungry again, but I have an aversion to eating.   Thsi is new.   Its like I am in too much pain to eat, stomach doesn't wanht it.

I had a problem at work yesterday.  All of a sudden, I was not able to run the software development tool at all.   When starting up, it would give an error message telling me to look in th elog, and then shut down.  Something told me too look at my project notes.   it seems this has happened before.   I did not remember it.   But my notes were clear enough that I was able to get back up and running within 30 minutes of the problem happening,

The error was that there were too many errors in a java file.   I am retrofitting my project to use a better database technology.   The old project I worked on used 2 database techniologies., one older (DBA) and one newer (JPA).   Using the newer one would shorten the development time, and make the code easier to manage.   But to do so, I would have to re-write the Session memory management code to be compatible with it.    I was in the midst of this retrofit when the error occurred.  

The software development tool I use (OEPE) takes a long time to inititialize.   But it tells you what it is doing while it is coming up.   One of those task is starting the "class loader".   That is where the error happened.  It doesn't just load the "class loader'.  The class loader then loads all the classes in the workspace, which are created from the java files.   The file with too many errors in it caused a stack overflow (java.lang.StackOverflow).  Java dev tools try to keep the java code always in a runnable state, unlike other languages.   The term StackOverflow was in the log file, and a quick search on the WWW gave me enough info to remember that I might have a not about this, and I did.

I am going to have to once again cut a java file in half, to avoid these size issues.   This is just another evidence that we are building something much larger than Struts, OEPE and even Java was meant to do.

I am not going to say much about this next topic for now.   A woman moved into my office at work, and I really like her.   I am going to ask her out.   She seems interested, even though she is seeing me at my worst.  I am walking like I am 90 years old.   Not very impressive.   She has beautiful hair, loves dogs, and is really smart.   She laughs all day long at work, really enjoys her day.
