Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[Pyraxis]

Grateful for the long weekend.

He's my man.  Ironically he can't have sugar. 

  Funny because it's cruel.

Nah, it's not cruel. I call him Sugarbutt because that ass is sweet and white.

You got rid of the story about him being ginger. Why?

You got rid of the story about him being ginger. Why?

Because I wanted to say a lot more about his hobby, why it's meaningful to him and how it came to be, but sometimes I feel awkward telling personal things about my family, because it's their story to tell and not mine, and that moment of awkwardness made me feel weird about the other story too.

Thank you, Pyraxis. When I start later this month, I might start a thread about it.

Was told by one of my teachers at college that I passed Certificate III in IT. Now onto Certificate IV in Programming.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Jack. I will be learning Java first.

Java is an awful, awful language. Don't do it.

Why? It's either that or C#.

Given a choice between those two, I would actually pick Java. I don't like either one, though.

That's OK.

I'm just hoping I won't be crap at it!

Got a massive bunch of rhubarb from a neighbour. Love that stuff.

Officially it should not be harvested after the longest day, to give the plants time to recover. But it will be good to eat, and the plants will be fine I guess.

Think I will have to make rhubarb marmalade, it's really a lot.

Yesterdays good thing was that monkeygirl came home. Todays good thing hasn't happened yet because it's still too early.

Made it happen myself but I'm glad it did. Um, mounted a ladder and painted this house's outside cladding (the pine woodwork). Well, not all of it is ready at present, think I've got about 3/4 done now, but I'm happy I got this far. Look pretty nice, I must say.

Ever made rhubarb crumble? It's something my mother made a lot when I was growing up, because we had a big monster plant that had overtaken one corner of her garden. Rhubarb and berries of some kind underneath, lots of sugar and goop, and a crumbly pastry topping sprinkled with cinnamon, baked till it's crispy.

I've got berries, I've got rhubarb, I know how to make a crumble dough. Think I'll be finding out about sugar and goop later today. Guess the goop will happen because of the sugar and the rhubarb.

Thank you. I'm going to have a great desert today.

I'm sure you won't. Just keep your code simple and readable, and refactor often.

That sounds really good.
