:-) Hey, I write source code based on optimizing what exact byte codes will
be generated by javac/jit.  I compare the output of the class files to what
I think it should be. Get me a socket implant! Hah!

Working in one's own little box, one sometimes forgets that there is a
(much) bigger world out there, and that one is drawing on benefits, in
blissful ignorance, of that larger place.  The number of projects gump is
tracking is amazing.  Even non-apache/jakarta projects.  Have I said lately
how much I appreciate being a part of apache/jakarta and that this place
exists?  Well, I do.  Open source has really changed the development
landscape compared to when I started in computers.  I don't think I could
have imagined some of the projects/tools that get created today by
self-organizing groups of interested people.  It is so cool.

<ahem> OK, back to coding...
