Double Practice

May 27th, 2006

This morning we had a two hour practice with Corvallis, in which we swam 7100 meters. The main set was this:

1×100
1×300
1×200
2×300
1×300
3×300
1×400
4×300

A few hours later, we had another two hour practice at our own pool. This one was only 4300 yards, but our main set was 3×400 IM’s for time. My times were 4:52, 4:54 and 4:55.

I never want to do a 400 IM again.

Overall, we swam 6.85 miles today.

Back from Canada

May 23rd, 2006

We (the Oregon All-Star team) got back from Canada yesterday afternoon, after a three-day meet. It was UberFun and I brought back two Bronze medals (800 free and 100 fly).

Unfortunately, at the meet, my iPod was stolen! :( There’s a rumor that new iPods will be coming out in June though, so I’ll wait to buy a new one.

Here are my times:

100 free: 1:01.45
200 fly: 2:30.24
200 IM: 2:34
200 free: 2:12.02
100 fly: 1:06.98
800 free: 9:55

And some pictures from the trip…

Leaving for Canada

May 18th, 2006

I’m leaving for Canada tomorrow for All Stars. The meet will be held at the Canada Games Pool in Vancouver, BC.

I won’t be checking my email while I’m gone, but I’ll be back on Monday.

Kate let Andrew and me take home the Ghetto Board halves, so I personalized mine according to my assumed name:

Application Ideas

May 16th, 2006

I’ve been trying to think of a good idea for an app to work on for The Byte Factory. I’ve seen several cool apps recently, but I can’t think of anything myself.
Any ideas?

Java Needs Method Declarations

May 11th, 2006

I was typing out a graphics-based Java program today from a book (I’m still learning the language). But when I compiled and ran the program, all was not well. So after about 10 minutes of examining the code and populating the methods with System.out.println() statements, I discovered that paintComponent() wasn’t getting called. Why? Because there was a typo in the method signature. I know this was my fault, but if Java required all methods to have a declaration, the compiler would have issued an error message and this wouldn’t have happened.

WordPress Blog

Welcome to my new blog. WordPress was nice enough to import all of my old posts from Blogger, so I haven’t lost anything.
