Lets see. Its Saturday. about 3:01 pm. (right now, you can see how long it takes me to write this.) I'm at work. sigh.

My computer is acting kind of strange. I'm training a neural network on it, which seems to be using most of the memory. (This isn't so strange because the net is huge, except that I used to have enough memory ... i'm not sure where it is.) In the mean time, i can't use the damned thing for very much. Like Matlab. I'd really like to use it for Matlab. But Matlab crashes.

I had another relatively sleepless night last night, for various reasons, and now i have a headache. I'm not a big fan of headaches, you know? I feel sort of unsettled about my life - like something terrible is going to happen soon. And I can't do anything to prevent it from happening.

I can't tell you how much i hope i am wrong.

Weekends at work are very nice. There is no one here to bug me, and i get to listen to music out loud (instead of with headphones). I should be able to be fairly productive. Which would be nice. I'm sort of in the mood to work really hard for a while, and then wash my hands of all this stuff....

Of course, i've been here for a while, and so far, have made no progress. I'm mostly sitting around deleting files and feeling vaguely unsettled.

I wonder, sometimes, if there isn't something wrong with me. Objectively speaking, i have an almost perfect life. But, sometimes i just feel unsatisfied with it. humph.

Lets see, on my list for today:
1) check the NN progress. (this requires Matlab)
2) If the NN is NOT GOOD, fix it. (sigh.)
3) Finish coding interface.
4) Fix a few major issues with interface, ignore minor ones.
5) Ship interface.
6) write outline for presentation next week.
7) Get homework assignment for next week.
8) Find something artistic to have on hand for Monday?
9) do something nice for Josh.

well... lets see where I am, at say, 5pm.

didja ever just start talking to yourself? I think i'm lonely.

It looks all is not well with the neural net. Matlab appears to crash, at least in part, because of an error in the NN file. This, my friends, is really not good.

humph, again.

5 pm update

see, its sorta funny. from that whole list i have...

1) Verified that the NN is NOT working
2) Hopefully fixed the problem... need to sit through a few hours of training before i can prove that.
3) Written outline for next week's presentation

i'm pretty sure i won't accomplish getting something to play with on Monday night. Probably won't be able to do it tomorrow either... Guess i'll have to settle for something in my own house.

(no subject)

lets see, 10:40. What am i? In school?

So far I have done

1) checked NN progress
2) fixed the problem with NN
2.5) checked NN progress again. Need one more check - tomorrow
6) wrote outline and started presentation for next week.
7) Got and started homework assignment for next week.
8) -- gave up on, that counts as accomplished, right?
9) do something nice for Josh... i'd wanted to buy him a present for being so sweet lately, and to remind him that i love him, but... well, maybe i'll have to do something that doesn't involve going to a store.

As to the stupid interface. Its too big, i think. Perhaps the project is just beyond my capabilities. I think i've written all the major functions now, (except the input evaluation.. i'm putting that off.) But i really can't count it as finished. Its sooooo close, except that i have to get all this CORBA stuff working, and i'm not really sure how to do that.

wish me luck - there is still on more hour in the day.
