Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

I was hoping 3.3.1 would be out by 12pm PST? I'm going on a date tonight lol. Should I just not wait, and use 3.3?

I'm in EST. I'm currently in the process of calculating the ASRB2 and loops per day. And I would say something or someone does NOT want me to do this, because even with USLM3 playing on max volume looping right now, I am struggling to extract this information from the modeling runs I am doing. It's there, and it is being revealed, but it's much more challenging than it should be and taking much longer than it should.

So far I am finished calculating the "days on" part, and mostly finished disambiguating the "days off" part. Then it will be time for loops. Once I have that information, I'll publish it here and adjust the program description, and I will tell Ben to link 'em up.

At that point, it's just a matter of when Ben finishes.

I should be done within the next - oh wait, I always make this mistake of estimating and then being wrong. Nevermind.

What or who is preventing you from calculating the loops?

It seems most likely that it is some part of my own subconscious. I can't rule out other things, but that is the option I have evidence to support. And it may also be responsible for the chaos that has resulted in an 8 hour job taking a week now...

But this is going to happen, and I am done calculating the ASRB2. It is:

7 days on, 3 days off.

Now for loops.

Oh ok.

I know DSMI has dragged on for awhile and I know you are ready to progress forward with 6G and make new stuff. I know I would be weary if I worked on the same thing for 2 1/2 years straight.

Yes, but see now, we are actually making solid progress with each release concerning the root cause of the problem. That makes a big difference. I am willing to keep going because I am making progress. 3.4 will still be the end of the line for the 3.x branch, and I don't really have interest in developing 4.0 at this time, but we are making progress, so I'm at least fueled by that. 2.5 years of seemingly getting nowhere will wear down even a granite mountain. Now we have the key, and we just have to refine it until it is finished.
