Folks,
My troubles with the planning board over at the Eclipse
Retirement Village continues this morning. No matter how
much I think I don't want or need additional information,
they keep faxing and e-mailing real estate regulations
over to me. They yell at me if I don't think I want a
Debug View:

They pester me with Problem Views if I choose to solve
my own damn problems. It is not possible, apparently,
to build on a large, uncluttered lot. Homes can be no
more than 1200 square feet and set back no more than
four feet from the curb. A pool is out of the question. :-(
Slowly, they are beating me into submission. I've decided
to go with the two-tier design. The IDL Perspective will
be grand in its utter spareness. Just an editor, a console,
and a command line. The Debug Perspective will look like
my downstairs when the boys are home for the holidays.
I'll set it up like I do at home, with a door at the bottom
of the stairs, so if I have to go down there for some ungodly
reason, I'll have a fifth of bourbon with me so I can be
braced for the sight.
Meanwhile, I'll just go back to debugging like we did in
the 1970's. Good ol' print statements and line numbers are
good enough for me!
Cheers,
David
P.S. I've discovered that Eclipse set-ups are kind of like
your children. That is, they each have a distinct personality.
I've been learning a lot lately from the sullen one, who won't
change to any perspective whatsoever unless I threaten to call
his mother. He just does the barest minimum of work, and son of
a gun, I'm finding him the most interesting of all. Go figure.
