Now I know how parents feel on the first day of kindergarten

[kickaha]

Tonight I cleaned up the code, wrote some basic bootstrapping docs, and made available on the SVN server back at UNC... my dissertation code. Another student wants to hack on it and see where he can take it. Good luck, bud, you're going to need it. It's somewhere between 25 and 30 kLOC of dense Python code, and a few dozen XML files against a custom schema with some support XSLTs. All thoroughly documented, of *course*. *whistles tunelessly*

Weird feeling though - someone else is going to take my beloved mindchild out, and play with it. Strange feeling.

Actually, I take that back, this isn't like the first day of kindergarten, this is like being a parent on prom night. :}

Did you remind your classes to keep their members private?

So, you just distributed patented software for free? Dare I ask if you-know-who was informed or consulted? ;)

Oh of course the documentation is the last thing you do. Damn programmers! :p

Sigh. :)

Damn, _two_ folks beat me to it.

Oh, well. That's what I get for living on the Correct Coast.

Q: Why don't programmers document their code?
A: Job security.

I'm not sure that's a joke. :)
