java project 
Well finished my java project (3 parts) over the weekend. All in all it took me 3 days (~23 hours of coding). Not bad - considering I used classes I never had before so there was a lot of time reading the docs. I am still a bit confused over the difference between Date and Calendar but I can live with that. Wish the Docs had examples for the classes and methods - would have helped clear up a few misunderstandings but then I’m used to the PHP manual.
It’s funny how I was kind of upset that it took me as long as it did until I remembered that just a couple of years ago it would have taken me the full 2 weeks to do it. Heck my first project (in C) took me 2 weeks to generate the Fibonacci numbers and it still didn’t work perfectly.
