You call this programming?

In the past couple of months that I've been learning Java on-the-job (i.e., incorrectly, with no formal guidance), I think I've spent the majority of my time doing the following, in order of how much time I've actually spent doing it:

1) Trying to convert properly between several roughly equivalent types in order to feed data from package X into a method from package Y.

2) Figuring out which package contains what I’m looking for.

3) Figuring out why eclipse is F’ed up.

God Man versus Science Hero!*



























*Note: My views on theology, religion, deism, and atheism are actually complicated to enunciate**, and reference Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, the problem of induction, and the semiotic fallacy, and are still evolving. I don't really endorse the view of SCIENCE!(tm) being in direct opposition to RELIGION!(tm). I just thought this was a funny cartoon.

**Maybe if you ask nicely I'll write about it someday.
