Good news at last Dill

You were gone? :D

My happy thought is that I just donated to Wikipedia. Like Dilli, feeling quite fluffy :D

Someone from the neighbourhood got my bin in today - there are some nice people about :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Indeed dilli there are a lot of good people out there but the trouble is there is too much focus on a tiny minority out there who give this country a bad name by the media.

I wish I knew who it was so I could say thank you.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Our neighbours do this all the time, and if we are on holiday put the right bins up the path.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sadly the people round here don't tend to even talk to each other. I have tried but only really manage to talk to one neighbour (who I used to work with) and a couple over the road who I got to talking to when they lost their cat.

I know it's our first wedding anniversary and all that - but glow in the dark loo paper ;) :)

I'm not wiping my bum on that I can tell you.

I just choked on my wine... :D

I am responsible for a web site at work. This site relies on a seperate web service to get data.

One page of this due to the way it had to work generated a lot of calls (in excess of 100) to the service, which slowed the page load down to about 12-15 seconds. Not too bad, but too slow for my liking (and it caused a couple of complaints).

I did raise this with the man who maintained the web service (as for security, I have no access to the source code, so cannot change it). He said it was as fast as it could be. He left, and the first thing the new guy did was analyse what the page was doing, and wrote a new function absorbing as much of that functionality into the webservice as possible.

Using the new function, the page loads in between 1.9 and 2 seconds.

Neither would I with that warning in the top right corner! :shocked:

On the count down now, catching the 8am plane from Exeter to Tenerife tomorrow, will we sleep? I doubt it.

Happy Christmas to all my friends on CF, and a prosperous New Year to all! xxx
