    There’s less than an hour of the work week left! Today I’ve been putting RSS feeds into our app - should be awesome. It’s been a bit of a pain, but only because we decided to do something a little more complex with it then just everything having a feed and that’s it.

    Our app has a lot of methods. Most of those methods have names that are immediately apparent as to what they do. Some, however, do not. SO, as a teaser, I will provide the names of three methods. These are copied and pasted right out of the code, so if you touch your screen you can consider yourself the closest outsider yet to the beauty that is known only as: The Feisty Piranha Project.
    Does the fact that I not only wrote these methods, but defended their names, make be a bad computer scientist? I don’t know. Whatever, they’re awesome.

    And my personal favorite..

    In addition, check out this screenshot I took of our app’s current stats. Yes, we need more testing code.

    My favorite really bad, but really accurate, method name I’ve ever come up with was

    public static String buildFromFromFroms(String[] pFroms)

    It takes an array of String HQL From statements (e.g. “from myTableA a “) and joins them into a single from statement (”from myTableA a, myTableB b “)
