Shame on me
-
I had to delete an article because I fibbed. My regex project had some benchmarks which I thought had it handily spanking Microsoft's regex engine. I didn't believe them at first, so I pored over the code to look. I even wrote a test to check. Every one of them was broken. Hazard of working on it every waking hour for 4 days. I posted an article, with benchmarks and everything, and last night I found out I was full of crap. So now in an attempt to redeem myself I am taking the project offline and I intend to make it faster than Microsoft's. Because I know it's doable and I am not a liar, even if sleep deprivation wants to make one out of me. :~

Proves indeed that each person is her/his own critic - a critic of the non-forgiving type.

you are truly a driven personality in a positive way. I wish I could accomplish 1/10th of what you done for CP. Don't lose that, but learn to pace yourself. I know its "Easier said than done", but it can sometimes saves time. old saying "haste makes waste" comes to mind. but you already know these things.

I wasn't *actually* sleep deprived but it was easier to say that than to explain. I had time because not much work, and I like to keep occupied. But, even not sleep deprived I'm sure you know what's it like to hit the bricks on an ambitious personal project for days on end. At the end of it, it's gratifying but you feel a little lost, you know? Like "what just happened? I don't remember building ALL of this, but there it is") - like that. By the fourth day i was a little loopy.

Been there, done that. In grad school, I would sleep on foam rubber pallet in the corner of the computer lab so I wouldn't have to make the drive home and then back again. This could on for 2-3 days, a week, until a goal was reached. "loopy" is a good description. The next day it's all in the past. I remember visiting this code several years later, "what the hell was I thinking". We didn't have a work remotely option in those days. Only slow baud rate modem stuff.
