After two weeks wandering around in the cold and rain my black cat returned back home. I'm overjoyed! At the moment he's sleeping in my lap.

In the last weeks I've put my developer's hat back on and I'm eating and breathing Java. After a long dispute we were instructed to write an online leave application program where all employees must be able to apply for their leave online. This application was triggered after some very nice guy from another department wrote an Access application for his secretary and claimed that it can be extended for the whole company. As usual all previous priorities got mixed up badly.

In an effort to streamline my coding practices I wrote a brief document on coding standards and programming conventions that I should follow. The document is mainly a cut and paste of the relevant parts from the referenced sources.
