The java professor is going over a program we might be creating this week. It is a random number generator, but is being used as a craps game. So, two random numbers between 1 and 6. Then getting the sum of both numbers to place against a set a rules.
Because he is phrasing this as a casino game, all I can think of is gong to Biloxi this weekend. 
My wife got another press weekend at the Beau Rivage for a new show they have going on. This will be the first time we have been back since Hurricane Katrina.
From what I have heard an seen in the news during that time, the entire area was devastated. Road were completely gone, places where homes used to be looked as if they couldn’t possibly be usable land, much less residential. I also remember reading the beach area being pushed back several hundred yards in areas. I am sure these things have been replaced, and the beaches have been repaired, but I am still curious as to what the area looks like now.
I am also interested in seeing what they have redone to the hotel since the last time we 
were there. The Beau Rivage is one of the nicest casinos in the area, but given the way they operate, they can only make it nicer than before. The incentive is to prove to the area they can come back. It is an even bigger incentive for tourist areas because it shows the nation that the area is rebuilding and is ready for business.
Of course, I am also looking forward to the show, and the after show party. That is always a lot of fun. Free drinks, free food, and plenty of both. The free brunch buffet is awesome as well. I am a little torn about going this time, however, because I am doing some computer work on the side this week, and I have thought about taking that money to gamble. I know I shouldn’t, but at the same time, I really don’t ever gamble, and I thought it would be fun to do some this time a round. Maybe some craps?

Just remember that whatever you win could be spent on luxurious cafeteria food if anyone gets sick around 2-3 a.m.
Yeah, I am far too aware of this.
I’m pretty much afraid of Mississippi altogether… my only memory of Biloxi was when I woke up in the middle of the night (early morning?) on the way home to Mobile from New Orleans to the sounds of everyone else in the car screaming bloody murder because the driver had somehow managed to get us going down the wrong side of the highway after we’d stopped for gas.
“No wonder I couldn’t see the signs to get back on the interstate!”
I don’t quite understand how being involved in somebody else’s mistake would make you scared an entire state. Besides, Biloxi is really like Mississippi, it is more like the way The Statue of Liberty isn’t really New York. or something.
I don’t really know where I was going with that analogy.
Oh, I meant to imply that I couldn’t speak for that part of the state because my only memory of Biloxi is vague.
