  • SimpleDateFormat...what am I missing?

    The editor here is wreaking a little havoc with my code, but I'm going to hope you can decipher what I'm after here. I have simplified this code bit about as far as I can to isolate the problem, while still leaving it executable:

    import java.text.*;

    class dateTest {

    public static void main (String[] args) throws Throwable {

    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/DD/yyyy");

    String data = "07/12/2007";

    System.out.println(sdf.parse(data));

    }

    }

    The problem is, the output looks like this:

    Fri Jan 12 00:00:00 CST 2007

    Month parsing doesn't seem to be working at all. I've done this dozens of times and I'm starting to think maybe I'm losing it. :)

  • How to find more resumes?

    I really need to find more candidates.

    I'm in the I/T department of a company on the north side of Houston, and have several openings for varying skill levels and skill sets. If we already have people watching Monster, CareerBuilder, Dice, and the Houston Chronicle, can you think of anywhere else we should be looking?

    (This is not a solicitation for resumes, rather I'm looking for new recruiting channels.)

  • What's worth seeing in Pittsburgh, PA?

    I'm going to be in Pittsburgh in April, for Mensa Mindgames. Usually, this is an in and out thing over a weekend, but I'm willing to add a day or two to my trip (and rent a car if necessary) to hang around if it seems worthwhile.

    What's worth seeing in Pittsburgh? Will I need a car? (I'll likely be staying in a hotel near the airport.)
