The second reason for the quiet is that I'm deep in the Frontier 5 cleanup. We have a new piece of software, the Windows version, and I'm totally delighted and intrigued. It's a new thing. Our scripts run as fast as C code ran just a couple of years ago. Scripts that used to do 1000 loops in a second, now do 10,000 loops.
Page rendering happens virtually instantaneously.
The scripts run fast, but my brain has to slow down because new neural pathways are forming. So instead of gliding at a super high level, I'm seeing more of the work, and less of the picture. Luckily this hiatus is coming at a time when the industry is a little slower. It's part of the digging process. But first we have to fly from Houston to Austin with a small crew.
