forelse
I was just reading about Javascript Templates when I noticed a cool bit of syntax:
{for p in products}
...
{forelse}
...
{/for}
I really like forelse, it's something I've always wanted but didn't know what to ask for. I run into this a lot:
if (collection.size() > 0) {
for ( /* iterate */ ) {
// loop logic
}
} else {
// do something else if array is empty
}
I know there is little hope of getting this added to plain Java, but this would be a great thing for Groovy (if it doesn't already have it). What about other languages? Does Ruby/Python/others have it? I don't recall ever seeing this in Perl or Obj-C, but maybe I just overlooked it?
Note: Bloglines stripped the style="white-space:pre" from my code tags, you're RSS reader might (should) do the same. Sanitized For Your Protection.

Re: The Contribution Society
I've got some thoughts on this, versus the Ownership Society, but they haven't gelled yet. So far I just have some ramblings, some holier-than-thou ranting, that doesn't really say anything, nor give an honest portrayal of my self or my thoughts. Am I brave enough to publish them?

take charge
Inside the top of the Jones Soda I just opened it says ?Take Charge of Your Life and Decisions.? I?m wondering whether doing this is compatible with accepting advice from a soft-drink bottle. [Crooked Timber]
Reminds me of the old Zuba billboards (man, that was a long time ago), which showed a pair of those wickedly striped pants and said "Be Different"; to which I always wanted to add "like everybody else".

What Mood Are You In?
| You Are In a Good Mood |
Today, you're feeling pretty together and happy. While not everything is going you're way, you're keeping things in perspective. And it seems like things are looking up for you! |

are you java powered? I was gonna get cool swag, but then there was a stupid form at the end just to download a graphic. Sorry, not even a free T-shirt can tempt me.

Do you remember when the exit strategy of choice was "get bought by Yahoo"?

Amazon Friends
Have you ever heard of Amazon Friends? I hadn't. Tonight I received an invitation to be someone's "friend", someone I'd never heard of before. I suspected phishing, and went to Amazon manually. It is legit, I guess, though when I searched by my invitor's last name I found someone else. So I'm still suspicious.
