10+ YEARS


Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

Exceptions and Amazon.com

The March issue of Java Developers Journal has a great article on anti-patterns concerning exceptions (not published online yet). After reading it, I can see I need to improve my exception handling, as I'm tossing a DAOException in my database layer, and a plain ol' Exception in my services layer. Since all my services layer does is convert object types -> strings (and executing business rules), I should probably change it to throw a generic BusinessException and a ConversionException. Too bad there's no link, hopefully soon.

In other news, we stopped by Barnes and Nobles for a Starbucks today. While there, I noticed a book my sister gave me for Christmas and I said to Julie, "I should read that sucker while you're gone next week." She sheepishly admitted that she'd sold it on Amazon a few weeks ago! Since it was a gift (from my sister), and I really do want to read it, I decided to buy it. The line was long and slow, so rather than buying it there, I used my phone and bought it online from Amazon. I searched, selected, logged in and I was done. They had a great message after logging in:

Yes, it really was that easy. Your order will be shipped to your one-click address.

Fricken sweet! The Internet Rocks and it's only gonna get better...
