...Six Flags Guy is king.
Well, barely 24 hours ago I was peering through the chained gates of the Wonka Factory GMail service.
Three more of my acquaintances just got Gmail accounts within the last couple of days, and now I am outright jealous. A nice way to create buzz and demand (among geeks, anyway) on Google's part.
There is something to be said for being able to find exactly where variable x was declared, and to know what kind of data it's supposed to be holding. It goes a long way towards making you get it right the first time, and I imagine that it makes for improved readability six months later when you need to tweak some object method. These are very good things in terms of developing commercially; in the end, you're not coding for the enjoyment of it (even if you enjoy coding), you're coding to make the project work reliably for the customer - from that perspective, it's in your best interest to cross as many t's and dot as many i's as you can.
Do I really want to make the 70+minute round trip to Northampton to get my power adapter tomorrow? I kind of do... but to do so would make me painfully aware of how much of my weekend I'd be frittering away at the computer. (It's barely 8:00 on Friday night, and here I am already, burning precious battery minutes by the word!)
An delightful waste of 15 minutes, although I gotta say I like the South Park character generator better.
What fixed it in my case was moving the context data out of the /Library/Tomcat/conf/server.xml file and into its own file at /Library/Tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/roller.xml. (Assuming you're running Tomcat 5, and that it's installed at /Library/Tomcat.)
