B2 Archives.

I got a com­ment from Sansom ask­ing about my archives page.
Well it’s a hack of Dodo’s hack. You can get it b2archives.php here. If I remem­ber cor­rectly, I simply added the cat_name column to the query, then did a check for the column value chan­ging in the out­put loop. The other thing I did was to plug Dodo’s changes back into the latest ver­sion of b2archives.php. Any­way check the code and you’ll see what I mean.

Holidays and Moving Targets

I’ve just spent a pleas­ant even­ing with Steve telling us funny tales from his hol­i­day in Crete. Steve and Gra­ham both arrived back from a two week hol­i­day in Crete with their fam­il­ies.
At work things have slowed down on pro­ject Dandy. Data struc­tures have been fluc­tu­at­ing for the last few days just at the point when I need them to be final­ised. I need to write wrap­pers around these things and it’s very dif­fi­cult when things are chan­ging almost every day.

I Passed!

Yahoo! I passed my Java Cer­ti­fied Pro­gram­mer Exam today. Go me! I got 81% which is, appar­ently, well above aver­age.
It was a lot harder than I was expect­ing. Even some of the ques­tions on the basic stuff required a lot of thought. In com­par­ison every prac­tice exam was much easier. Some­thing to be aware of if you’re tak­ing it your­self. Still I got the highest score today, and fourth or fifth highest of all from work who have taken it so far.
