Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is an excellent sport and often brings adventure. In my enjoyment of both climbing and photography I've taken quite a few photos of rock climbing.
Photography
My photography is a mood, a passion, expressive, sharing, silly, sometimes forgotten.
Projects
Occasionally I take on a side project, sometimes just for me and sometimes with or for others.
Family
Some of my family are on the web too!
Java
I'm pleased to have discovered how a Java program can modify its own environment variables, so that programs or libraries subsequently loaded can use them. Here it is:
import com.sun.jna.Library;
import com.sun.jna.Native;
import com.sun.jna.Platform;
/** This class sets environment variables, using libc via JNA.
* @author Ben Damm
*/
public class SetEnv {
// This is the standard, stable way of mapping, which supports extensive
// customization and mapping of Java to native types.
public interface CLibrary extends Library {
CLibrary INSTANCE = (CLibrary)
Native.loadLibrary((Platform.isWindows() ? "msvcrt" : "c"),
CLibrary.class);
int setenv(String name, String value, int overwrite);
String getenv(String name);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String var = "VARNAME";
String val = CLibrary.INSTANCE.getenv(var);
System.out.printf("%s\t%s\n", var, val);
CLibrary.INSTANCE.setenv(var, "WOOOOHOOO!", 1);
val = CLibrary.INSTANCE.getenv(var);
System.out.printf("%s\t%s\n", var, val);
}
}

Tact involves skill and patience; patience involves love.
