I'm not ready to come back yet, but I thought an update would be good for you guys.
The TID I thought I was getting from OFv4, that wasn't what it was. It turns out that the strange discomfort I was having in my digestive system that nothing helped started on the day before my father died, and I was informed of his death almost a week later. It was, apparently, some part of me suffering because it knew he was going to, and then did, die. My father and I lived in different states.
I never ended up running OFv4. Instead, I have been using UH, and it has done an amazing job of keeping me going at 2 loops and a volume of just 8/15 on my cell phone. The day before the day before yesterday I was so exhausted that I decided to take a couple days off, and last night was the second night off from it. Tow nights off was too much, and I found myself crumbling emotionally. 2 loops and breakfast brought me back to emotionally stable and comfortable again, but I have been unable to focus regardless. Yesterday I tried to run the models on what to build next, but I could tell that I was not able to focus well enough to get certainty in what I was putting in for variables, and you know well, garbage in, garbage out. The answers that resulted showed well that I had made multiple input mistakes, because the confidence rating was an appalling 10%, the lowest I have ever seen it.
I had hoped to be able to do that today, but still not able to focus. UH did such a good job that it had me thinking that I was doing fine, but a couple days off reveals that UH is what's supporting me emotionally right now. I am not done dealing with this grief, and until I am, I won't be able to do the work that is necessary to even determine what to build next. I must be patient, as frustrating as that is.
In the mean time, I would like to suggest that you guys start ONE thread and in that thread, put the titles that you would like to see built. I will give those titles extra weighting when I run the models to determine what to run, and consider them in their own list, as well as in the complete list of options I have compiled for what to build when I next run the models. You may not get what you ask for, but I will give those titles extra attention. Ultimately, a big part of why I use the models this way is that timing is everything, and it not only allows me to choose what will do best for us financially, but what will work best for you guys. Some of the titles I would like to build are apparently not quite ready to be built yet, because I apparently haven't figured out all of how to make them work. This approach keeps me from building duds and prevents you from wasting time running programs that aren't able to achieve their goals. I want you guys to get what you pay for.
I don't know how long this will take, but losing a parent is one of the most painful experiences you can go through. A week wasn't enough; let's hope that I can do it in less than a month.
Next month, I will be going on vacation from the 15th through the 22nd. During that time, I will be mostly incommunicado. At the current time, I only have the strength to read some of the forum, but I cannot reply yet.
Thank you all for your kindness, consideration and support, both concerning my father, and the warm welcome you have shown OFv4. That makes a big difference for us here at IML. Thank you all for believing in me and my work, and voting with your wallets. You have made it possible for me to grieve without worrying about working. That is priceless.
I'll be back as soon as I have the energy.
