Falling asleep at work

I used to be almost falling asleep in my old job, but now I've moved that isn't the case. I actually prefer my brain to be engaged, so I'm not complaining.

Grinch, I know what you mean about having a bad day, I was given 4 hours to find a bug in the code, and fix it. The best fix me & 3 other developers can come up with has so far taken me over 8 hours (including investigation) to sort out.

For the geeks (who know java), I'm placing tightening restrictions around java's formater parse() function, building regexes on the fly depending on locale settings, basically re-inventing the wheel as a turbine engine! (I can show the code if you want to join me in regex hell).

Bloody Java's memory leaks are causing me stress...

Grinch, just for you....

private String buildStrictRegex(String format){

        	String[] pattern = {"yyyy", "yy", "MMMM", "MMM", "MM", "M", "dd", "d", "G", "ww", "w", "W", "DDD",
        				"DD", "D", "F", "E", "a", "ww", "w", "HH", "H", "kk", "k", "hh", "h", "KK", "k", 
        				"mm", "m", "ss", "s", "SSS", "SS", "S", "z", "Z"};
        	String[] matchingRegex = {"+[0-9]", "[0-9][0-9]", "+[a-zA-Z]", "+[a-zA-Z]", "+[a-zA-Z]", "+[a-zA-Z]", 
        			"+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]",
        			"[1-5]", "[0-9]", "[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]","+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]",
        			"+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", "+[0-9]", 
"+[0-9]", "+[a-zA-Z; ]-+[0-9]:+[0-9]", "-+[0-9]:+[0-9]"};

Is how the function starts....

It's my day off today.

You have just sent me to sleep!

Baph! Behave, it's Friday FFS!

Day off, lucky! They just cancelled my uni at noon, yeah right after my shift gets out good job. So I am stuck here for a little bit longer, then off into the snowglobe! p.s. I'm in Michigan, I bet you don't have a flake of snow there!

Ah - that sort of Java. I remember when a nice cup of Java used to help keep you awake. The irony of life.

looks wrong to me... nothing in particular... just wrong.

Hardly lucky. 3 weeks out from Xmas means 2 things - late night opening, working every Saturday.
