Good to know.

Just one more good reason to proof my code before running, that missing x brought my system to a crawl.

Project Euler Level 1 Badge

Project Euler Level 1 Badge

If you haven’t heard of it, Project Euler is a challenge site with several hundred problems that you write code to solve and submit an answer for verification. They’re generally pretty well done, with obvious solutions that are intractable but good solutions that run in about a minute. It’s kind of like an ACM competition with no time limit, and it’s a pretty addictive way to spend an Saturday evening.
