Football, Python, and Ruby

[ rakaur on Sat Sep 25 at 04:15 PM // category: life, programming, relationships, technology ]

I went to a football game last night.

Let me just give you a moment to digest the fact that I went to a football game.

Okay, so anyway. It was supposed to be a really good game, and it was. Of course, I didn’t really care either way, but it was still nice to be able to be around a bunch of people and have them set everything aside and just get along for once. We won 21-20 after being down 20-0 at halftime. I couldn’t really see much of the game (I was mostly watching the girl I want anyway), but it was still fun. Standing for like three hours screwed up my back nicely though.

I can safely say that I know Python now. I’ve read a ton of books until it got to the point where they were just repeating everything I knew. I’ll keep making plans on how to implement my first project though. The only thing I really wish it had is switch. There’s a PEP for it, but Guido (the Python author) doesn’t seem too keen on it. It’d be nice to have though.

On a related topic, I still haven’t found any decent “Learning Ruby” books. I guess I just won’t, since I don’t seem to care for it anyway. I thought perhaps it was the book I was reading, but I just don’t like it in any case.
