Fifty Hours Invested in STimes

One reason you haven’t seen much here is that I’ve been spending many, many hours lately revamping STime and DateTranslator and their sisters and their cousins and their aunts. All these Tinderbox classes deal with generalized dates and times, and none of this was on the development blueprint. A small issue (handling a new Canadian system format) became a larger issue, and that blossomed into a performance problem.

And, naturally, problems lead to opportunities, and the upshot looks like we’ll see a real performance boost for Tinderbox agents and rules.

But, in the meantime, brother, can you spare a week?
