Blah, I do about 2,000 lines just during lunch on a napkin before I go back to work. And I ussually put it on two napkins, one in assembly and one in a high level language like c++ so other people can read it. One time, I actually had to disassemble Oracle.exe as there was some code I didn't like and I needed to tune it. Since then, it runs 5 times faster. I benchmarked vrs 9i, and it was like no comparison. Cripes, the application that runs on it doesn't even have an interface, it just displays raw assembly like the matrix, it is extemely quick. All activity is entered directly into the registers. Since all the problms with windows lately, I decided to just write my own OS. I call it WinBlows, it has this custom (Patent Pending) agent that will severe connection immediately on any StupidUser (TM) errors. It will take a single cpu system and have it perform like a virtual quad processor machine. Since there is no interface, surfing the web is done through machine code socket calls directly through the hardware. Driver compatibility is a thing of the past since there are no drivers, there are no compatibility issues. It is great. Plus it is completely open source too.

I have fond memories of writing 1300 lines of code in one 12 hour day a few years back. This was a front end to a DOS version of RCS ( or something like RCS ) and it was for versioning an entire set of application code.

Written in a compiled language called 'Force'. It even worked when I was done, and was useful for a a few years.

It wasn't very well documented though...

Must be the hubris getting to me, it's a programmers disease. ;)
