I am AWESOME!!!!!!

Holy Crap.

My fingers are tingling (maybe a heart attack??? nah) and my body is jiggling and I can't believe I can get this excited about CODE :shocked: I've been working on it all day - actually Friday too - and the improvement in performance was OK - things were going about 40% faster - and just when I was about to commit the changes I couldn't help myself but do a little cleanup first.

Suddenly - molasses. Things crawled, 100% of CPU for doing anything - navigating the menus, just the blinking colon on the time display - GAH!!! What'd I break?

Well, tidying exposed a subtle bug that had been lurking and just let it get alarmingly more amounts of time on the CPU.

Ah-hah! Yes, once I'd found it it was a 2 line fix.

Next reboot and .... WHOOOOOOSH!!!

LCD updates are flying. It's more than 10 times faster. User experience improved exponentially.
My language got a little colourful but that's OK because, at this time, I'm the only one left in the office.

This is the most fun I've had at work in about 5 years.

(No, I don't want your pity - this genuinely pleases me.)

Did you finish a port of Webkit to the Commodore 128?

Nice. Any chance application performance is tied to your salary? :mrgreen:

Nah. I don't have a 128 - I have a C64.
Once I get the code ported to BASIC I'll give you the printout so you can type it in when ever you feel like browsing.

What, like continuing to have one? Well, it couldn't hurt.

I'd be REEEAAALLY worried if I were you.
I only have thos 'god' moments when I'm totally one with logic. You know, those moments you're programming the most difficult stuff completely right and in a astounding simple manner.

I'm getting old. Last time I had one of those moments was when I realized I could take an n^2 problem I was working on and make it nlogn.

Of course the best is when you realize you no longer need that feature. :mrgreen:

Well, it's a near constant mantra that guys around here get but as I like to say (over and over) I've never seen code that can't be improved by removing a bunch of it. (except mine - which is perfect )
