The Road to Happiness

As you may have noticed, I didn't write anything on this site yesterday. Believe me, I wanted to, especially after reading this call to arms for Struts Developers. But instead, I did some work on my New Years resolution. First I went to the gym and played basketball (yeah, you really wanted to hear about that ;-) with one of greatest friends, Shane Murphy. Then I came home and relaxed a bit. As I was getting ready to jump on the ol' computer and blog about how much I loved Hibernate and such, Julie asked me if I'd change Abbie. I said "Sure!" As I was changing her, she smiled at me and giggled. If you have children - you know how cool this is - especially when it's one of the first times. She started smiling a couple of weeks ago - but now you can tell she really means it. So I said, "happiness it is," and I read her a story (Father's Flying Flapjacks) and played with her for a good hour. We were sticking our tongues out at each other and had an awesome time. She is the coolest kid in the world! What an sweet way to end the day. I'm happy to say that I ended up falling asleep (with Abbie on my arm) without getting on the computer.

Yeah, kids are great. I love my three, too - glad to see people bonding with the future. Re: "the call to arms." Yeah, I'd like to see people do Struts better. I see HOW it works, and mostly what I'm left with is "ewww." The abstraction is fine. As I said, "It's useful, but a lot less than it should be." I mean it, and my blog was honest: there are a LOT of people "just getting started" with the wafer implementation in struts. That's cool... but when I was "just getting started" with WebWork's implementation, I was *done.* I'm not saying Struts sucks, per se, but maybe that WebWork seems to suck much less?

I believe that I could implement the wafer implementation in Struts in a few hours as well. I think it *is* easy. However, I'm not willing to put my money where my mouth is... I'm just lazy. I won't bash on WebWork b/c I've never used it. I like Struts b/c of the extras like Tiles and the Validator. I've never had a problem with Struts, only my own stupidity.
