Keep your various body parts crossed

Posted on June 10, 2005 By admin 7 Comments on Keep your various body parts crossed

I'm testing the loader code I've been working on for the past week. For the past 28 minutes, java has been using 100% of my CPU and about 500MB of RAM to do its number crunching. If all goes well, in just over an hour and a half, it'll be done. If all doesn't go well, it'll blow up in 1:28 hours….


Update: it's now later and, as expected, it blew up. What's annoying as hell is that it blew up somewhere unexpected, not where I wanted to test it!!! GAH!


2nd update: Ahem, I rock. I've just increased my code performance by 1000fold. Instead of taking 17s to parse 50 records, it now takes 15ms. Everything is now safe and sound and loaded in the database. I am a happy bunny.

    Good question… I don't know actually. I think I found your website (somehow) and there you wrote that you'd just gotten yourself an LJ account ^^,
