I've just changed the code to generate the Meta-index to download the files automatically. Thanks to Peter that wasn't too hard.

Now I have to run the code and see if the reason it didn't properly update the tables really was due to it crashing because of some slight errors.

Yalahii.

I think my Tetris game is progressing. I now have to do the hard things: event handling and actually drawing the game. :(

Which one???? There must be thousands of them.

I just don't know enough of Java to get that game done!

I guess I'll have to ask my boss some advice if he ever gets here again. :(

A thought:

If we could improve basic education to the point where teenagers (and older adults) don't need to flip burgers for a stimulating job, would that reduce the workforce for such places and maybe make a bunch of them shut down?

*hopes*

I am SOO hooked! I just discovered Runescape. http://www.runescape.com.  It's such a great game, no need to face monster until you're up to it. Just walking around and picking up things. Lots of quests to fulfil (so far I've only completed two).

An elderly couple, still very loving after all these years, is shocked
when the woman's doctor says she has a heart condition that could kill her
at any time. She is to avoid stress, eat right, and never, ever have sex
again -- the strain would be too much.
The couple reluctantly try to live by these rules. Both get really horny
over time, however, and the husband decides he'd better sleep downstairs
on the couch to guard against temptation.
This works for a few weeks, until late one night when they meet each other
on the stairs -- she's coming downstairs, he's heading up.
"Honey, I have a confession to make," the woman says, her voice quavering.
"I was about to commit suicide."
"I'm glad to hear it, sweetie," the man says, "Because I was just coming
upstairs to kill you!"

A little nine year old girl was in church with her mother when she started
feeling ill. "Mommy," she said. "Can we leave now?"
"No," her mother replied.
"Well, I think I have to throw up!"
"Then go out the front door and to the back of the church and throw up
behind a bush." In about two minutes the little girl returned to her seat.
"Did you throw up?" her mother asked.
"Yes," the little girl replied.
"Well, how could you have gone all the way to the back of the church and
return so quickly?"
"I didn't have to go out of the church, Mommy." the little girl replied.
"They have a box next to the front door that says, 'For the sick'."

an art teacher for an  school here in Jacksonville, Florida, gave an  assignments to her children  to enter a contest that a local new national football team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, was promoting.

The winning artwork gets placed on the back of the season tickets, so as to encourage the children to come up with a good logo and a colorful creation.

One innocent little girl was  enthused about her masterpiece she turned in . It had a picture of a mean looking jaguar that read, "You're messin' with the wrong pussy."

IDIOT IN THE STORE

I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.

The gentleman I dealt with whose card was unsigned insisted that it was unsafe for him to carry around a copy of his signature.  I think we got him to show some other ID.

Um, unsafer than leaving a card blank for whomever steals it to sign?
