Volleyball for the Win (Volume II)

Another awesome game last night.. we won again. It was a big tournament, with a bunch of schools. We only played one last night, and it was another “tied right to the end” game, which was awesome. The tourney continued this morning at 9:30, but I guess I’m going to have to sit that one out. Oh well. There’s a game Monday night against my home town, Bunker Hill, which should be awesome.
Oh, and there’s the other kid there that wants the girl I want. We both go just to watch her, it seems. That’s a bit of a conundrum.
I’ve been reading up on all the changes for PHP5. Some are pretty neat, some are pretty Java-retarded. I’m really beginning to hate OOP. I mean, I like the idea, but all of the implementations (excluding perhaps D’s) suck. I hate Java’s retarded interfaces and lack of anything else useful (which has been carried over into PHP5) and I hate C++’s multiple inheritance and kludgy templates. But the thing I hate most of all are accessors. Accessors are methods with the sole purpose of modifying and/or retrieving the value of a private property. I hate that. Isn’t it easier and less crappy to just make the variable public? But wait! That violates the OOP blah blah encapsulation blah blah. Okay, so why not just come up with a type modifier akin to public, private, and protected that allows for public read-only yet privately writable properties? Would that be really so hard? Oh wait, that would make fucking sense or something.
I don’t think I can stand to use OOP until D is finalized/standardized and put to real-world use. D is the Christ of the programming universe, IMO.
Oh right, 9/11 never forget etc. Tomorrow is my birthday; buy me shit.
