Blast From the Past

OK, i just had an episode of "deja vu". I am working remotely on a machine that is running a headless Linux installation. I was forced to execute a few "batch" jobs ( also known as hacking your way through the back door of an application ). I just spent the last hour writing java code from vi, compiling command line, and running command line. Oh the days when this was how we worked.

I know most people these days, couldn't imagine writing code without an IDE, most wouldn't even know how to compile recursively through the directories, and manually set the classpath. It's a lost art and skill.

enough reminiscing, and back to work. it's crunch time.
