Not Cutting It

Nope, sorry.  I actually didn't come in today with a plan.  I have done a bit of work (a page of computations and formulas), but my gears aren't shifting - not quite neutral, but not third gear, I guess.

This is one of those days.  At least I have a plan for tomorrow: implement.

Sidetrack

Something that slipped off the radar came back to bite on Saturday, and not being able to breathe through my nose yesterday meant a bit of a rush today.  Worked it out with my boss.

On the other hand, ongoing work stymied my latest attempts to untangle a result from it.  Also, new paper to glean and acquire new ideas from.

Retooling

Not much progress today - though it seems that one of the parameters of the problem requires adjustment - whether to a computation in the algorithm or to the underlying mechanism remains to be seen.

Nope, Still Not Getting It

My supervisor got me working code from the paper I'm reading - and it does work.  However, adapting to our algorithm (or the standard one) doesn't.  Looks like tomorrow will be tweaking until it fits.  Understanding the model better would help me out a bit here, but seems like it'll be trial and error for a bit.

Driving Blind

Okay, for now, I'm giving up on deriving a particular formula that seems to magically appear.  Let's just run with it and see what happens.  It's the algorithm, after all, and the process is for verification.

Lost in Translation

Occasionally, when reading articles and such, there will be missing steps that have to be filled in.  Today, I have been stymied somewhat by a step that seems to be quite the gulf between assertion and conclusion.  Hopefully, it'll clear by tomorrow.

Halfway through the Day is a Foot into the Long Weekend

It's already feeling like the new year here, while I'm scrounging for a late lunch. At least I was able to get new marching orders, having shared promising results. 

Hibernation soon - then hybriding my time to start off my new leg. 

Stepping Stone

Well, at least that works.

The code can use a bit more cleaning-up, but I at least got results in the main direction that seems workable.  Next logical step seems to be taking on results in a reference paper - but that requires one more fairly serious tweak.

Either way, just confirming the code's holding for more cases.

Backtrack and Trims

So, to figure out how to include the things I thought could be ignored, a bit of backtrack (or normal mode) was employed.  Got the expected results - now to trim some code, make it better, and eventually figure out how to work out the code I should be using.

Maybe by tomorrow?

*sniff*

Still sniffly. Have to work out the code I'm using, since I have to consider something I thought could safely be ignored. 

On the other hand, an amount of stability was introduced over the weekend. Must take advantage and consider the restrictions moving forward, crucially in February.
