A Few Quick Updates

November 1st, 2007

Just a few quick updates today:

  • Better Performance. InstaCalc should load faster and be more responsive overall. For the geeks, I’ve streamlined the code by caching intermediate results and loading them where appropriate.
  • Better Logging. I’ve put in some code to help debug errors as they happen on your side, with less need for explicit error reports.
  • Minor bugfixes. Some minor tweaks here and there. Cell titles (”this_is_a_test = 3″) should now show up as “this is a test” when minimized (there was a problem with underscores before). 3/7% does the right thing, and behaves as 3/(7%), not (3/7)%.

Also, I’ve acquired calcr.com — Stefan, the previous owner, was kind enough to offer it to me before putting it on the public market. I like the super-streamlined interface, and will be working on an “InstaCalc-powered” version of calcr. There’s more than one way to solve a problem; choose the best tool for the job :) .
