Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

It is something of a shock to look at it and see "6G Alpha Test".  After almost 13 years of work, it's become such a grind that I have forgotten what it's like not to be working on developing it.  So I'm sort of in shock still that we are as far along as we are.  Testing begins in a few days.

Celebrate the achievement! It's real, now.

I'm going to celebrate.  On Thursday or maybe Friday, I'm going out of town to have a special dinner to celebrate this achievement.  But it's not really finished until 6G-Final is done.  First we have to verify that all these massive actually changes work.  That's the job of 6G-Alpha.  Then we have to optimize as much as possible.  That's the job of 6G-Beta.  Then I can release the final.  There's plenty more work to do, but you bet your ass I'm gonna celebrate!
