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.
