You know you’re getting old when your minor injuries don’t go away anymore before you acquire new ones. My shoulder rotator cuff injury [1] from last November still hurts a bit, not much, but it’s definitely still there. Sometimes, especially now that it’s cold, I even still feel my back hurt, probably still from my accident [2] in 2005. And every once in a while, like now and the last couple of days, I feel a numb spot on my left upper back, sometimes also on my right. My self-diagnosing skills tell me that might be a pinched nerve at C5 [3]. Probably also from the accident, or even from birth. I’m gonna go have that checked out some time soon, it’s just difficult to go because it’s not always there.
I turned in all the forms for my Master’s candidacy. Now I just need to write and defend it… haha. I also improved my Concutest-JUnit some more, and now I think it finally does everything I want it to do without rewriting the Java runtime. But I when I applied it to DrJava, I got annoyed by Ant’s JUnit task: It was too verbose. Even when everything was successful, it generated too much output, so it was hard to find the problem. I decided to download Ant’s source and look how I could shut it up. I ended up writing a new "quiet" formatter (based on "brief") for the JUnit task. The modified source and binary distribution, as well as an archive with just the modified source files and a patch file based off Ant revision 503170k, can be downloaded from my personal homepage [4].
Now I’m going to a superbowl party. I don’t really know what I care less about, the superbowl or that Germany won the handball world cup. But it’s all about the people you’re with, and I’m with my girlfriend, so I’ll have a great time. I’m told I’m rooting for “da bears” ;-)
