This blog is an account of my personal experience in Thailand and does not reflect the views of Peace Corps Thailand or the United States government. Thursday, November 13, 2008. To Isaan and Beyond. I have been quite horrible in keeping up with my blog. In reality, this has been quite an interesting time in my Peace Corps service and I am not doing myself justice or anyone who reads my blog. I will once again try to be diligent in my blogging, but I have certainly made that declaration before!

Garrett's Thai Blog: Rice Planting
http://garrettschiche.blogspot.com/2008/07/rice-planting.html
This blog is an account of my personal experience in Thailand and does not reflect the views of Peace Corps Thailand or the United States government. Friday, July 4, 2008. I was trying to think what could make this entry have a unifying theme and finally I came up with it, the rainy season. Once again the rainy season is once again upon the verdant valleys and forests and I am now convinced that it is by far my favorite season. The rain comes down in torrents, but lasts usually no longer than an hour.

Down in the trenches of Software Engineering. Gilpin on the Globe. Imperial’s Software Performance Engineering Laboratory. The Importance of Using Real Data when Developing a Proof-of-Concept. When developing data-driven software, there’s a constant tension between anonymity and usefulness. Well, to anyone you want to sell it to, I imagine. But this is a dangerous demand. You can never know if your data is not believable until it’s too late – in the same way as if you can never know i...Your team probabl...

Be careful – Java SimpleDateFormat is not always symmetric | Tadhg Pearson
https://tadhgpearson.wordpress.com/2013/02/13/be-careful-java-simpledateformat-is-not-always-symmetric
Down in the trenches of Software Engineering. Gilpin on the Globe. Imperial’s Software Performance Engineering Laboratory. Be careful – Java SimpleDateFormat is not always symmetric. For Java date conversion we make heavy use of Java’s SimpleDateFormat. In this case, I wanted to print the time of departure of Amtrak trains, using the standard travel agent date format,. I will get a ParseException. Inspecting the source code, it’s easy to see why. If there’s a delimiter in the pattern, it will peek ...
