alexr_rwxCS2200 makes me happy :)
There are few things quite as satisfying as optimizing out that extra half-milisecond out of execution time on an assembly program written for a hypothetical computer. I'm not entirely sure why. This class is absolutely wonderful -- so much to learn, and it all makes sense, and it's completely beautiful and glorious and hard and fast and real... or at least it feels that way. It's probably all full of glossings-over and generalizations and misinformation, but ... it's such a pleasure to do stuff for this class.
This is not "well, how do personality types interact on a software development team?" or "It must be a Powerful Tool for Engineering Quality -- starts with a J!" or "See, it's cute and colorful and the code is self-documenting!" ... this is hacking on assembly code.
Yah, so I got the S&N done, and now I'm going to go and run. It's been entirely too long, and I'm looking forward to this :) :)
