Version 10.9 final released today. I have been programming non-stop since I put v10.8 out. I'm confident enough with this new version to finally stamp it. 9 days later than expected, but I still had things that needed addressing before I could call it a new version. I work on the site live, on a daily basis so those of you that are here often may not notice too many changes. It's kinda like when you live with someone and they get all fat... but you don't notice because you see them every day . (you have to admit, that's a funny analogy). Most software developers prefer to work offline and release everything at once. I've always liked to work on the site live. Sometimes you'll catch an error during the late hours when I'm really implementing stuff... personally, programming like that pushes me to make less mistakes... it's made me better at what I do. If I mess up, then it effects my users and I DON'T want that. So working that way has pushed me to make less mistakes. It's not a normal way of doing things but it's how I work, so shut up! There has been 400 to 500 additional hours of programming and administrative work that has been put in since 10.8 was released >40 days ago. Remember, I'm only one person too... but I've literally been working 7 days a week to work towards v11. Most of the work has been put towards optimization of the code. At this point nearly 90% of the code behind the site has been rewritten from the ground up. There are also functionality and design changes as well. But, as I said... testmy.net is created by one person, not a development team. I can waste my time writing change logs or I can let my users figure out what's changed and put my efforts towards something more useful. Hope you all enjoy it, more to come.

me too...but mine came from my grandfather...plus several others mixed in there...from my grandma and my grandma and grandpa on my dad's side...english german and american indian...but at the end of the day i AM as they WERE an american period...and proud of my country and the men and women that fight to protect her. i would not call myself a patriot...but i am patriotic and love my country and all she stands for...er...as it still is right now for the most part...but things are changing and not for the better...not sure i'll be so proud when the powers that be are done with the slaughter of our constitution and everything this country has stood for...everything our soldiers have fought and died for...bastards...well enough people voted for the "change"...idiots

I know that I'm a Patriot, I was always early enough to the Sat. matinée to see the old newsreels of the end of WWII and the Korean war. After high school I was drafted and served my country. I was injured in the Line of Duty and I'm now 100% disabled, but I would tell you that if they needed me to help teach what I knew about warfare I would go back in a heart beat. I am of Irish, English and Dutch decent, but I AM AN AMERICAN. Born here and PROUD of it..... If you don't like it here than LEAVE and go back to where you came from. PLEASE.......
