Date	Announcements
December 8, 2005	Reetika points out that if you are using the `debug/mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin-g.jar` driver (instead of the `mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar` driver), you also need to add `aspectjrt.jar` (from `C:\Program Files\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12\src\lib`) to the build path. Apparently this driver uses AspectJ.
December 8, 2005	I've been so busy, I kept forgetting to post this. Celebrate the end of classes! MCIT Pizza Bash, TODAY, 6 pm, Levine 315 All MCIT students, and anyone taking a CIT class, welcome!
December 6, 2005	It has been pointed out to me that in order to test your assignment, we will need to enter our SQL name and password. Please read these values into your program as command-line arguments. You can type command-line arguments into Eclipse by going to `Run -> Run... -> Arguments -> Program Arguments`. In the program, these will be `args[0]` and `args[1]`.
December 6, 2005	I will not be holding office hours today--sorry.
December 1, 2005	The final assignment is ready.
