Reviewing new code and don't know where to start? Try FindBugs
It can be daunting to know where to start reading when presented with a new source code tree. One idea is to use a bug-checker like Lint or FindBugs to take you to the "hotspots" -- these are good points to start reading the code. It also keeps you awake as you ask yourself, "Why did the bug checker flag this bit of code as a bug?". If the code is obviously correct, at least take the time to understand the logic of the surrounding code, so the trip won't be wasted.

Hey Jon, you're the one that manages the VictoriaBCBloggers at SuperBlog right? Have you noticed that the feeds haven't been updated for almost 5 days now? Is there something up with it?
Hi anonymous - Haven't been checking that feed, so I'm glad you let me know. I'll look into it when I have a few mins.
Hmmm... is it me or has superblog disappeared off the face of the earth?
Noooooooo! SuperBlog, come back!
