Daytona: Superbike & Formula Xtreme
And so it begins…
Ben Spies wins the Superbike season opener and Steve Rapp wins the 2007 Daytona 200.
The MotoGP season opener is tomorrow. If think it is ariing at 15:30 PDT. I need to take care of a few things for my Mom, so I will be hitting hte DVR for this one.
I watched the racing this morning while typing out boring code. I am working a rather large project. It is going to be very complicated and take months to complete, but… The code I worked on today was the base objects for the entire assembly. I have to create all of the known object types, define each object’s default behaviours and properties, write the constructors (usually three), and code up all of the accessor methods. Boring… I think I wrote about a 1000 lines of nothing today. This code is the lowest level for this project. If I miss a major concept at this point the rest of the project will be a death march. The code of refactoring code is at least 3 times the cost of doing it right the first time. While I’m writing this stuff, I’m thinking about the database design and implementation. It is interesting. Tiring and boring. But interesting at least in the abstract.

What can I say I like to code…
I bought a few books and magazines tonight. First, I picked up a couple mags at Borders: Cycle World and a 2007 Buyers Guide. Then at Powells on Hawthorne, I scored Roadshow by Neal Peart, This is Your Brain on Music by Daniel Levitin, and The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Travel by Dale Coyner. I picked up another on entiteld The Boy Who was Raised as a Dog. I loaned it out and I can’t remember the author. The Peart book was already sucked me in. I read the prologue and I was hooked.
Time to head to bed…
