Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

@Shannon Something similar to what Catman said regarding the DMSI release. If people are planning to run the new DMSI would you advise them to now stop any other sub they are running right now in preparation?

My best estimate is that you'll need to stop between now and 10 days from now, but I have to finish the 5.8G build process successfully at least once before I can really start focusing on DMSI 3.4 enough to know what is what.  So far all attempts to build it have failed.  The solution option I am working on right now is going to take me a day or two to know if it works.

Hi Shannon, I was wondering how this does combine with what you said in your answer to Cat's post before:

I suggest all the OF/FRM you can get before you do DMSI.

Or in other words: How much of a pause do you suggest between the sub prior to starting the new DMSI and maybe why exactly? Thanks for elaborating!

At least 7 days; 10+ is better.  The previous program will still be dominating your subconscious attention, and while DMSI's TID probably will not cause turbulence - although 5.8G is a new thing, so maybe it will - there will be more opportunity for turbulence as you have less time between the programs.
