Went out to a studio to get senior pictures yesterday. The photographer really wanted to go to this old bridge for pictures. Well, wasn’t I in luck:

Obviously, I had to get pictures next to this. Unfortunately, they aren’t available yet.

  1. Grab the nearest book.
  2. Open it to page 56.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
  5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

“Putting the backslash in front of a character tells Java to just pass it right on through; don’t interpret it.”

I haven’t used Java for five years.
