It has been hard going since the accident. Not because of the accident, per se... the effects of that seemed to have faded out after a week or two. What's killing me now is that they've got me on a medication for a condition they discovered while I was being checked out as a result of the accident, and this medication is making adjustments that require ~ a month to make, and while it's being adjusted, I am generally too spacey to get answers from the models that have sufficient confidence to be useful.
Problem arises in that the first med they gave me did nothing, then they gave me one that worked somewhat and made me spacey, and now they've prescribed one that's doing more, but has effectively re-set my spacey state because it's doing more.
I am finding it incredibly challenging to work, because this means that it takes me 10x longer to achieve a sufficient level of confidence than usual, if I can at all. Many days, I just give up and go do something else. As a result, the progress has been very slow on the 5.11G skeleton script configuration because this is important and I cannot afford to make mistakes with this.
Additionally, I am getting answers from the models when the confidence is high that I have never seen the likes of before, so it requires me to do what I call "challenge testing", where I independently calculate the answers multiple separate times to effectively challenge the answer to prove that it is correct through repetition. So now I'm working 10x slower, on days I can work, and having to repeat work at least five separate times.
On top of that, instead of allowing me to calculate the config settings for the 5.8G, 5.9G and 5.10G skeleton script additions all in one go, I have to calculate each one separately. So now we're taking a job that should have taken a day or two under normal conditions and making it take a very long time. It is frustrating, but I am making progress as possible. It is of course most important that this be done correctly, not quickly.
Given the difficulty I am having, and how unusual the answers are, the first 5.11G program is currently planned to be a test program, which I may or may not release for sale. I'm not sure what it will do yet, but it'll have to be something that can be verified relatively quickly.
So I am not just radio silent and not doing anything... I'm doing my best, but until the damned meds stop making the adjustments that make me spacey, I cannot work anywhere near a normal speed. Nothing goes out that I'm not confident in.
That's what is happening on my end.
