Junely array lists

I'm writing real code with real objects and everything, ma. Look at me, I'm using a big boy language with exceptions, IDEs and integrated build and deploy frameworks. I'm growing and learning if nothing else.

I have never really been an OO developer before. I don't think it matters, I'm just gluing shit together. Its not any harder or easier then what I used to do. 3 sprinkles of a new date time object, 2 pinches of framework calls and a solid week of bashing my face against array index calculations. I'd enjoy it all a lot more if the sprinkling and dashing weren't based on reading horrible recipes, erm... documentation.

Dox writing sucks. This is accepted fact. But if your dox suck, so does my ability to use your code. And maybe the underlying issue isn't that developers are bad writers, but that we're bad editors of both our code and english. We write some code and start using it. Now its locked in and we don't want to deal with the editing/refactoring process. Guess what we have?

Fucking National Enquirer of code. Why yes, I want to use a date/time object which makes it an absolute bitch to represent the date as a single number that references an objective 0. You know, as a single number like seconds from epoch or days since Christ's birth/death. Shit that should be there. And this is supposed to be the best this new to me language has?

Fuck me, gimmie a shell and a goddamned call to date. I'll fuck some shit up there.
