Forge.mil is intended to be the home of DOD open-source projects. There are only three projects right now, and they’re restricted to the DOD tech community. The projects are publicly viewable, but only authorized individuals can edit the code. The public is encouraged to make suggestions. Here’s the FAQs page for the site.

Too lazy to think of anything even remotely witty.

Class is going all right. The quiz…. was a quiz, what can I say? And as Blake has mentioned, Alice is a wonderful way to familiarize yourself with object-oriented thought. I still need to catch up on my reading, though.

And I thought I’d mention this in the wake of the Hungarian notation discussion. I’m teaching myself HTML and CSS for Baja, and I’ve discovered that CSS can and probably should be written so that every line ends with either curly braces or a semicolon. Thank you, Jaclyn, and hooray for making wrong code look wrong!
