If you haven’t heard about Apple’s switch to x86, go look it up or something. That said, speculation about the future of Apple is running wild.
Contrast this lucid and thorough post by John Gruber with Robert Cringely’s usual drivel. It’s remarkable, isn’t it? And yet, I think that Cringely is more widely read.
Why?
Today I came to a realization while doing my weekly review: There are a lot of things that I want to do, to learn in the time I have. Things I’m excited about.
I guess I’d best get crackin’, as a feller says.
I’ve been working on refining the ‘results’ figures for the paper most of the day. The rest of the time I’ve been working on other projects. I tried to take a nap for a little while, because I’m tired. But I couldn’t fall asleep.
I think I’ll go swimming soon. I feel off today, and I hope that helps.
I just ran a 6-second (simulation time) pacing of a model, with 20 beats total. When I went to check the results, I wasn’t happy with what I found:
It seems that the ground I placed in the bath below the model caused a problem with the uniformity of conduction. I wish I’d noticed that before burning a day and a half of CPU time.
Live and learn, I guess. Back to work…
I’m waiting for some things to happen. Sam’s out getting the alignment on his car fixed, while I wait here for his PowerBook to arrive via FedEx. I work at home a lot, so that’s okay, but once he gets back I’m off to the post office to get a money order and some postage, and mail in my visa application.
I hope to hear from my advisor today about the outline, and I just have to wait for the pacing to complete before I do anything else with that project. There’s one other project I need to work on in the mean time, which I think I’ll do. But first, I need to go load the dishwasher. The sink is getting kind of full.
