This weekend is the San Jose International Triathlon. I've only got one more full race this year after this so I'm hoping to do well. With my new bike I should beat my old bike time and if I can have a comparable run and swim I should be in good shape. But I don't really feel that great. I've got a light week of workouts until the race on Sunday so hopefully I'll be feeling a bit stronger by the end of the week.

I got my taxes done finally. Some day I won't have to file an extension.

I've been doing some work with the Sleepycat database, aka Berkeley DB. It's pretty interesting. They have a neat Collections framework around their Java stuff. But it's got this really huge drawback. There's the classic C/C++ native edition and then there's the Java edition. The native edition and the Java editions do not have the same file format and are not highly compatible. There are two solutions. You can use the Java Native Interface(JNI) support to have a Java application talk to the native edition. Or you can do a Dump and Load to get the two versions to talk to each other. I'm kind of unhappy about this, but what can you do.
