Sun’s virtual machine is free and open source. And cool. I tried it out tonight with W2K and am impressed.

A long hiatus for a full summer and then some contract work.

Some benchmarks of the latest tokenization algorithm shows that pure-ASCII tokenization is about 20% faster and UTF-8 tokenization is about 2% slower. So I’ll take it.

Benchmark was performed by using perl/docmaker.pl to generate 100 random “docs” in both encodings (ASCII and random UTF-8) and then timed using swish_lint with and without the -t option.

Also recently fixed some failing tests on Linux and a memory warning.

Swish3 has a lot more tests that Swish-e (not counting Josh Rabinowitz’s excellent testing package). And as of tonight all Swish3 tests are passing under both Linux 2.6 (CentOS 5) and OS X 10.4. \o/

I’m not shilling for a corporation. Just found an announcement about a new semantic map that sounds very impressive, and further clicking found this blog.
