The Smoke Is Rising

I just grabbed an underutilized credit card and used it to make the final payment on my Cubs season tickets.

The card has begun to smoke and is threatening to burst into flame.

I never knew that watching the Cubs could be this dangerous...

It's a MINA Old World

Well, I thought that Apache MINA was going to solve my problem of wanting an expandable ByteBuffer. However, when I read another bit of the documentation, it seems they've decided that trying to solve their particular problem with an expandable ByteBuffer was a bad idea, so they'll be taking it out of the next major release of the project. *sigh*

So I will roll my own. It's not inherently that complex. It's just tedious.

Because I needed to be writing some more tedious code right now...
