Flying squid. Actually, more like gliding squid...but still...cool. :) I, for one, welcome our airborne tentacled overlords ;)

Oy, I don't feel good. I'm all clogged feeling and sniffily. I blame the dust and gunk from pulling cable all week. I'm going to go hit the showers and flush my sinuses with salt water, then maybe I'll feel hominoid. Still no real clue about today's running around. Nothing I 'have' to do, so we'll see what I end up doing, if anything. Catch ya later.

Hello ladies! I'm new to this community (but not livejournal! This account is new, though). I have been lurking around for a while but yay first post. Also, this post has two parts: a rambly intro about myself and a relevant-post-is-relevant part.

( intro )

The post:
I really have been thinking about taking up Muay thai. Has anyone here had any experience in it? I will be calling the nearest school (which is 20 mins away by train + a bus ride) up tomorrow! I hope they take girls -- on their website, the students in photographs and on the profiles page are only boys/men, but that might be because most girls in my area aren't incredibly into it (which doesn't seem unlikely). I also plan on keeping it up at college, in a gym there. Keep your fingers crossed! I'll be incredibly sad if it's a boys-only thing.
Also, what equipment will I need? I mean, I know -- shorts, boxing gloves, etc but any specific things I should keep in mind when I have to get it? Any tips in general for a beginner?
Thank you!

Done for the week. Spent today tracing cables and verifying they were good. Tedious as hell. And alot of walking back and forth. My feet are killing me. Tonight my only plan is to veg and relax. Might go to Borders Books and use a coupon I got. Might not. We'll see. I really should hit the showers. I also need food. We'll see what I do.

The following code does not compile:

public class A {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int i = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        switch (i) {
            case X: System.out.println("ONE!"); break;
            case Y: System.out.println("TWO!"); break;
            default: System.out.println("ZERO!"); break;
        }
    }
    public static final int X = B.getNumber("X");
    public static final int Y = B.getNumber("Y");
}

class B {
    public static int getNumber(String s) {
        if (s.equals("X")) {
            return 1;
        }
        else if (s.equals("Y")) {
            return 2;
        }
        else {
            return 0;
        }
    }
}

The compile error is:

A.java:5: constant expression required
            case X: System.out.println("ONE!"); break;
                 ^
A.java:6: constant expression required
            case Y: System.out.println("TWO!"); break;
                 ^
2 errors

I think I'll leave explaining why as an exercise for the reader. (Or for a future post. ;-)

I’ve been dreaming again. I hadn’t for a long time, which was making me a bit sad, but lately, it’s been happening again. (Yeah, I know, we dream even when we don’t remember it, but isn’t that pretty much the same result as “I haven’t.”?)

Anyway, to get to the point, the dreams last night were about a superhero who got his powers by huffing ballpoint pens. I never exactly said my brain was sane, y’know. It was a pretty good story going, though, as he’d stopped sometime in the past because it was doing bad things to his health, but he stumbled across some of the artifacts from those days and said, “Screw this, I’m going back to heroics, no matter what it does to me.”

Which led to the funniest bit, in which he’s snorting these ink pens while trying to convince a friend on the other end of the telephone that, no, he hasn’t fallen back into that filthy habit.

(And yeah, I dream in plot. The dreams may get pretty odd, but the story seems to consistently hang together despite the oddities.)
