Unit testing JavaBeans

Leave a reply

I always just pretty much skipped unit testing JavaBeans since the work involved didn’t seem worth it. Today though, I was troubled by the lack of coverage on the Javabeans in our Emma code coverage reports so I googled and found this bit of unit testing brilliance: Unit Testing Javabeans. It’s a simple class that uses introspection to test the bean and works great!

Starting Insanity Tomorrow

Leave a reply

I’m stating the Insanity workout tomorrow. I’m 5′ 11″ and 174 pounds – I’m not overweight (though I’m near the top of the range), and my BMI is in the healthy range. I’m out of shape though – seriously out of shape. It’s been ages (and by ages, I mean YEARS) since I’ve done any real exercise. So, this should be fun. I’m not looking to lose weight, just looking to get in shape.

Today I’ve been prepping food for the week – I feel like I’m prepping for the Zombie Apocalypse. Seems like I prepped all day.

Real World 3D

Leave a reply

Here’s a sign your kid has been playing too many video games/watching 3D movies:
Daughter (while riding in car with me): Daddy, look at those clouds – they look 3D!
Me: They are 3D. The real world is 3D.
Both of us: LOL

New office – theme?

2 Replies

With our new home, I’m getting my own office. I really want to theme it, and I’m trying to decide what to go with. Note that there will be 3 arcade games in the office: Star Wars, Tron, and Discs of Tron. Some options:

  • Space: I have some beautiful space-themed canvas prints for the walls (Thanks, sister!) which would make a good start to the theme, and the Star Wars arcade game fits in.
  • Robots: I want to have a place to display my robot collection and this could be cool, especially with some robot-themed art work
  • Portal: I saw a cool Portal-themed office recently that really made me want to try. Do the wall, have some Portal knick-knacks around, and some Portal art on the walls. Could be cool.
  • Star Wars: I have a few Star Wars collectibles to display plus the Star Wars arcade game. Could be good if not overdone. I saw an office once (and have a picture somewhere) that looked like the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon – that would be cool.
  • Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: I have a framed and signed poster from Douglas Adams, a 42 towel, a C64 HHGTTG game, etc. This would be subtle but classy and my robots could fit in as long as I have a Marvin in there.
  • Tron: I’m leaning towards NOT doing Tron. The only way to do it right is glowing blue on black and that’s not the look I want.
