You were gone? 
My happy thought is that I just donated to Wikipedia. Like Dilli, feeling quite fluffy

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Indeed dilli there are a lot of good people out there but the trouble is there is too much focus on a tiny minority out there who give this country a bad name by the media.

Our neighbours do this all the time, and if we are on holiday put the right bins up the path.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Sadly the people round here don't tend to even talk to each other. I have tried but only really manage to talk to one neighbour (who I used to work with) and a couple over the road who I got to talking to when they lost their cat.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I am responsible for a web site at work. This site relies on a seperate web service to get data.
One page of this due to the way it had to work generated a lot of calls (in excess of 100) to the service, which slowed the page load down to about 12-15 seconds. Not too bad, but too slow for my liking (and it caused a couple of complaints).
I did raise this with the man who maintained the web service (as for security, I have no access to the source code, so cannot change it). He said it was as fast as it could be. He left, and the first thing the new guy did was analyse what the page was doing, and wrote a new function absorbing as much of that functionality into the webservice as possible.
Using the new function, the page loads in between 1.9 and 2 seconds.
