      <title>Upcoming Post Topics</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This last week or two has left me with &lt;em&gt;plenty &lt;/em&gt;to blog about.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve been knee-deep in the bowels of code with ruby-debug as my trusty sidekick.&amp;nbsp; The interesting thing, well, one of the interesting things, anyway, is that the more I end up debugging, the more it seems I learn.&amp;nbsp; Which, is fucking annoying since debugging is a huge pain in the ass and nowhere near as fun as actually writing code is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But, I&amp;#39;ve heard it said time and time again, that you learn things by reading other people&amp;#39;s code... and well, when you&amp;#39;re debugging other people&amp;#39;s code, you&amp;#39;re doing more than just reading it - you&amp;#39;re getting inside of it and their brain, and figuring out how both their brain, and their code works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another upcoming post, should I ever find the time to write it, is about some of my philisophical notions about program, and how those thoughts are changing. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This 31 year old &amp;#39;baby programmer&amp;#39; has formed some opinions about things and it&amp;#39;s time to expound on some of the new and scary ideas that are forming in my brain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In any case, &lt;a href="http://www.bellsbeer.com/index.php/brands.html" target="_blank" title="Oberon is BACK!"&gt;Bells Oberon&lt;/a&gt; is back for the season.&amp;nbsp; What does that mean? Winter is over.&amp;nbsp; We may get some snow showers mixed with rain, and you can never count out an April snowstorm, but all I know is this - &lt;a href="http://www.bellsbeer.com/index.php/brands.html" target="_blank" title="Oberon is BACK!"&gt;Bells Oberon. Is. Back&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Update... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;9:54pm...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I just realized as I was tagging this post that my tags are: programming, opinions, and beer.&amp;nbsp; That just struck me as wildly amusing.&amp;nbsp; And no, I&amp;#39;m not intoxicated.&amp;nbsp; :)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
