last week total, 18km... this week 12km

week 1: 21km
week 2: 24km
week 3: 18km


what's up shlarts? so for a while now have been toying with the idea of learning how to program so as be able to make a more lucrative income..... I figured today - Tuesday night actually - I should pick one language and stick with it so I chose java............. then I got interested in how java evolved and what it is so read about it on Wikipedia and then started doing simple java lessons on a free website:  codeacademy.com.............. haven't learned much so far.... if you want to know how many characters are in a quoted string between ditto marks you can add the command .length..........also there's a certain syntax that needs to be followed for if/then commands which anyway they call if/else commands -- namely the bracket marks {}, not to be confused with the parenthesis marks ()..... then there's the command.log command which prints a given line on the help screen -- it's all pretty overwhelming and complicated so we'll see how that goes, if at all, over coming months....... take a look at that sign in the photo, from a logical perspective, what are they saying? what is fhwa? is the hw referring to Herbert walker? which George bush are they even talking about? the dad or the son president? no idea............. also if they're referring to the son president, some people would find it oxymoronic using his name associated with a centre for intelligence, just sayin'.......... at least I've lost some weight, that's better than nothing......

so the only time I ever knew how to program was during the first gulf war, that's hw........... I definitely remember having the program bug for around a week or two, maybe it wasn't during the war although I remember I cut school to watch the war on tv as I found it very interesting..... but the programming phase, I remember skipping a swimming meet for that so maybe it was a different occasion but similar year around 1991 I guess.........  anyway at least codeacademy is free......maybe if I keep plugging away at it late at night i'll get somewhere with that

it's also good to read some sweedenborg with free time and there isn't much free time anyway

well actually it turns out it's cia hq and it's been named after hw bush that way for exactly 17 years to the day now so there you go -- fhwa refers to the federal highway administration, if you're driving there from Reagan national airport you'd see that sign above, but probably not my pretty little self standing by it (unless you're hallucinating or have a hologram projector or tripping balls on acid or something).
