I am learning Java. It is nowhere near as easy as it sounds, mostly
because I don't really understand the theory behind Object Oriented
Programming -- which at least has the pleasant acronym of OOP. I have
bugged some of my friends, and after extensive discussion of genus vs.
species and a dog named Fido I believe I now understand the differences
between objects and classes. I'm still not sure at what point one gets
to actually write code, but hey, I'm only on day 4 of Java in 21
Days, so I should be less snide and more patient. Or
something.
While not beating my head against the Java wall, I've been attempting
to understand enough of xfsdump to take advantage of this very fine
tape drive. Annoyingly, I only realised I was going to have to use
xfsdump after spending a long while figuring out the SGI dump syntax,
which is slightly different than SunOS dump syntax. This all might
lead one to think that ufsdump and xfsdump might have a lot in common,
but if they do it's buried.
Doesn't my job sound exciting?
Still no word from any of my leads, although I have voicemail which
might be Rachel's company wanting to set up an interview. Not yet! I
have to learn Java first! I'm leaving it until tomorrow, anyway.
