ME FAT!

Its official... I suck.

I was all geared up to vote in this election a few weeks ago. Until this week when I realised I really should have recieved my polling card ages ago, and now that I don't have it, it technically means that I'm not registered - like I thought I was.

I was convinced that all the stuff I sent off the council when I moved in should have put me on the electoral roll but clearly not.

So no voting for me. :(

So I'm wandering along the internet highways trying to find an example of how to use collections and iterators in Java and I discover what looks to be an interesting page, but it has some odd syntax.

I search a little deeper and its coded in Ruby.... Ruby? What's that? Well its
an "interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and portable."

I'm rather impressed that I've managed to find out about a new language. Sure the true geeks (I'm looking at you barty and themadone) probably already know about it but still I've never heard of it and that's what matters to me.
