After about a week...

Weight is eh, somewhat to be expected. Should go walk tomorrow first thing after breakfast.

Been coding up improvements to Hyatt that separate disk I/O from orthogonal operations. Need to work out the right way to break up data to avoid latency in large tables.

Thinking about porting Meritous to Python, more as a way to check my understanding than because of any special properties of either.

Today

Frantic bike-ride... No progress on serious code, but coded up a ludicrous multiplication module just for the heck of it. Plan to upload it to Launchpad once it comes back online. (Here)

Should get back to Hyatt... have giant list of functions to implement.

Not much has happened

Been tweaking Hyatt's code a bit. Walked for a while today, weight is a bit iffy.

The Man Who Was Thursday is an amazing book and you should read it, by the way.

Next big step in Hyatt is to make string handle 'exceptional values'. Setting up handlers properly will enable me to implement the 'pointer' internal type, which will make setting up a variety of things much more sane.

AARGH

Have to rewrite columns to support domains, which means reading about domains, which means I have to read up on category theory again.

Weight is okay, really should get in touch with Ramla, Wintendo setup successful...

Thought...

Thinking of porting Hyatt to Lua if speed is unsatisfactory, and running tests. Of course, this presupposes that I have a Hyatt to port, which I don't really yet.

July 7, 2009

Made some modifications to Hyatt. I... forgot some important code. Point is, it's in there now.

There's some stuff I've been meaning to take care of that I won't say much about. It doesn't occur to me that there's much for me to do today... really, besides this, finally getting the MBR set up, and, eh, classes...

EDIT: HOLY SHIT I JUST GOT THE DEAN'S BOOK I WANTED

AWESOME

Update for July 6, 2009

Decided to scrap one of the fancier bits of Hyatt-NG, for the moment. It could work later, but not for this. In essence, constructing many independent trees manages to be easier than my supa-fancy sing-and-dancy idea.

Unloaded dishwasher, need to find stuff in order to vacuum.

Stuff on July 6, 2009

So, Hyatt's primitive table type is set. I believe I've got two or three more types to set up before I'm through.

Got some chores, off to do them. More stuff later.

Progress For July 5, 2009

Need to fix up the storage for Hyatt-NG some more. The indexing was full of bugs. (Later: think I'm finished fixing it.) It occurs to me that I don't really know much about concurrency-related stuff, which is... kind of important to Hyatt.

Tonight, working on pad.

Will have to get to work on winstallation.

That's not what they mean by water weight...

"For the heck of it, I shall weigh myself now."

*showers*

"For the heck of it, I shall weigh myself again. ... That's five pounds more."

*blowdries*

"Much better."

Nearly done with the storage part of Hyatt-NG. I just want to be able to mass-index it, and .hgc should be set as a file format. Since that takes care of the 'geometry' of tables, the next step is coding in constraints, I think.

Weight loss efforts are... failing to make any kind of logical sense. Yesterday, I lost way more weight than I was trying for. We'll see how that all works out. (*Gets mobbed by angry female friends*)

Hell, if I lose another ten pounds, I might go for five more, just to fuck with stuff.

Anyway, I've yet to get the pad working, though dad believes that the modification he's had me do should eliminate noise. Then, I might want to switch back to capacitance instead of shorting myself across the detection circuit. (However, I'd like to do so in a way that avoids slippage.) Also, some of the velcro ripped up the yoga mat, and we've yet to superglue it back together.

Oh, also: tomorrow, plan to work on getting the tower to dual-boot, if the weather is good.

'Nother update

Actually coded up stuff for reading data from the files for Hyatt-NG. Thinking of giving them the extension ".hgc" because not much seems to use it. It shouldn't be too hard to set up modify, insert, append, and delete methods now. (Although the __init__ stuff needs some checks. Currently, it can't handle... a great many things.)

Weight is... okay, currently. I'm going to have some milk soon... so hungry...
