Shannon's Journal, Volume 3

Tonight is my first off night on my first cycle of UMSv2 Stage 3. So far, I have to say, this stage is noticeably different without the FRM in it. It feels different, and I notice myself doing things differently. I'm not sure if this is an effort at self sabotage or not, but it's making me REALLY want to work on an experimental I have been working on very slowly in my spare time for months. Now all of a sudden it's like there's some sort of desperate push to finish it. I guess that makes sense because I only have a week of time left to do so after I finish UMSv2 Stage 4. Before it was background process, getting only spare processor cycles. Now it's fighting hard for time with UMS v2 Stage 4. I have to prioritize much more aggressively to stay on task.

This may be self sabotage because it's taking time away from UMS v2 S4, but at the same time, what I am developing is probably going to make for a major breakthrough also. The major breakthrough may not be directly applicable to future subs, but it will be a significant improvement to the skeleton script and some new approaches and technologies are coming out of it.

I am still consciously prioritizing UMS v2 S4, because of course that needs to get done and I have a limited amount of time to do it. But wow. Maybe this experimental will result in something in the future that makes a huge increase in my finances.
