Simon, has just reminded me via I’m that I was going to keep up to date with what I was reading. I finished “The man who ate everything”, it was good if you’re into food, hmm probably if you’re not as well. I found it to be gonzo journalism like - a la PJ
O’Rourke- replacing the sex, drugs and politics with food (NO this doesn’t detract from the over all enjoyment of the book ) .
I’ve started reading “The Big Sleep” by Raymond Chandler which is fucking brilliant, although it takes a few pages to get used to the fact it isn’t a cliché, that it’s the real thing. Amazing to read, it’s talking too long,only reading an hour or so every few nights, baa.

If this doesn't make sense I'll look it tomorrow.

Looks like the Intellij Vs Eclipse decision has been made for me and we are going to use Intellij I must admit its one of the more pleasant decisions that has been made in a work environment that I haven’t agreed with 100%. Then again I wasn’t sure which I wanted to use and while I prefer Eclipse ( Its CVS integration is about 901234812390480291348 years ahead of Intellij) I think Intellij is going to be the right decision for our team so huzzah.
On the non geek front, I’ve started buying music again, so the RIAA can relax. I started off with the usual small Jono select of music, Chet Baker, Eric B & Rakim, Verve Unmixed and ColdPlay – A Rush of blood to the head. The ColdPlay CD is fucking amazing very refreshing; Eric B & Rakim is good although there is still an elusive remix CD of Paid in full I keep on missing. The Other two CDs I have no idea about yet :D.

Geek Stuff, I'm currently looking at Intellij 4 and Eclipse 3 M8. Both seem a bit unstable with standard memory, eclipse seems to have sorted itself out with an increase in max heap size, and I think this will sort Intellij as well. I've always been in the eclipse camp but now I have the chance to choose. I'm unimpressed with the cvs integration in Intellij is pants and the new cvs integration in version of 3 of eclipse is wonderful it backgrounds itself while doing large jobs so you can get on with whatever.
On the down side eclipse wont compile code whose package structure doesn't match the directory stucture. Now while this sounds good in theory I'm working with god knows how many other develops scattered all over the place who all do things a little differently soooooooooo it would be nice for the #@$%#@$% code to compile - its also no part of the Java Spec, so why not just make it an option Eclipse dudes. *Cough* if anyone does know how to make this work under eclipse please tell me.

New Job is going well, been having fun and enjoying the last of summer over the last few weekends, will attempt to blog more.
