#100DaysofCode Day 7: Serialization! Much success was had by all. It's one of those things which feels scary and complicated but isn't.

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

#100DaysOfCode Day 9: Using TreeSet. By "using" I mean weeping over my failure then realising I need clear() in those caught Exceptions.

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

#100daysofcode Day 6: More File I/O! Briefly thought I'd forgotten how to instantiate an array. Had missed a parenthesis. #noIDE #hardcore

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

#100daysofcode Day 5: Lots and lots of File I/O practice. It's now my best skill and has pushed all other knowledge from my brain.

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

#100daysofcode Day 4: Only half an hour today (unfortunately) - working on some File I/O exercises. Not masses done, but helpful.

#100DaysOfCode Day 3: Working on program to test user on /b and /B. Random String generation working and weighted to my satisfaction.

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

#100DaysOfCode Day 2: Finished the course exercise from yesterday. Next up: a program to test the user on Boundary Matching (/b and /B).

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

#100DaysOfCode Day 1: Used a piece of paper to plan solution to coding challenge. It's like living in the future but better.

@martynpeel I thought they didn't, but as I'm casting my (international postal) vote today thought it better to check. @saperkins?

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

@martynpeel @saperkins I know, but I'm curious to know what their intentions are.

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

@saperkins If Britain leaves EU, how will UKIP for protect emigrants?

@Jenny_Trout The only response to this bullshittery is to tell you you're wonderful, then photoshop some book covers.

@Joannechocolat It happens, but not in this instance. That is why it matters.

@Joannechocolat We're bullies and Taliban. Damien Walter describes "a hooting mob of online haters". Salon's headline: Battle of the Trolls.

@DebSmithAuthor Perhaps newspapers should stop charging advertisers since adverts are basically content. #haleno #sarcasm

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

@Joannechocolat Part of issue is the media characterisation of BH and *all* bloggers as trolls. Your RT reinforces that idea. None happened.

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

@Joannechocolat The lesson I took was that people are allowed to do things I consider immature. People'll be 5-starring books over this too.

[Theo @DorInTheWall]

Again, for those who think #bloggerblackout is (or about) hurting authors - the only people *obliged* to promote your book get paid for it.

I intended to apply today's extra hour to the blogger/author war, but then I remembered there isn't one so I played AC1 instead. #HaleNo
