You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.
Monday evening I had my first real stab at tuning a harpsichord. I'd been given an introduction by Jan the week before, and now was my chance to try it out (he'd come and tune it later as he always tunes it monday evening or tuesday morning). It actually went surprisingly well. Lots of it was in reasonable good tune when I left it. I first tuned it as I has learned, and then of course started tuning a couple of intervals I did not like, which led to other itervals I did not like, and so on... so after about two hours of this I figured that enough was enough and did my harpsichord lesson instead. And it wasn't at all bad playing the pieces. 
Trying out all these blog-programs turns out to be quite an experience.
And, I'm learning heaps of how lots of people prefer writing their java
programs. My todo-list is growing by the minute.
Well, I figured I might as well try a post with Weblog Poster. It sais it can handle the Blogger API, so let's check out right away if it can handle newlines.
I've been toying around a bit with my blog, just to see how it works
and to provoke the code a bit to get more experience with managing
webapps. So far, things seem to be working well. I just need the URL
changed into something a bit nicer looking.
I like unit testing, but this guy refers to an article
that I think
perhaps has misunderstood a little bit. Testing the internals of a
component doesn't give much meaning to me. Oh well, shan't be picky,
especially since this post was mainly to try out trackback.
Hey all,
this is really the first Roller blog I'm ever running. It's created mainly to try out webapps on our Tomcat server because our customers would like to deploy some, and it seems to have been working great.
A couple of jar-files look like being in conflict. Strange, as I have
no idea why someone would dist java.util-jars. Anyways, got that
cleaned up and our main apps are purring nicely again.
Whew,
the log script just finished now. And all looks well.
Wow, it's been ages, hasn't it. Well, you'll be all very pleased to hear that I'm studying for my exams that are coming up. In studying, I mean of course that I've taken up the keyboard again, started playing Beatles on my guitar, rehearsing Corelli, been having a concert with the choir (it went totally fabulous! And it was great standing on the gallery singing in a quartet while the rest of the choir was singing towards us with candles in their hands! Magnificent!) and saying yes to play both for my job, for a choir that's doing a Shutz-piece my choir also had parts of on the concert, and said ok to sing with another choir. Seriously, I have no clue why I study IT. I think it has something to do with sanity, but I begin to feel that I need some time off to study music. I've figured the best way to pick up my keyboard skills is to do La Folia in all scales. So that's what I was doing just now. I made myself a cup of soup, but since I was so busy with the music, it I took a way to big cup, put the soup powder in and put too much water in it, so it's more like reddish water. 
I'm on my way from work now, and an incredible banging can be heard from the closest train. It sounds as if it's running on square wheels. I cannot imagine who took the wise decision to let that train run through the subway, ruining the rails. It strikes me that what our subway system lacks the most is management. There cannot be any economic or service reason to run that train.
