Another weekend of geting little enough done behind me. The seasons here have gotten to that stage where it’s cool enough outside that running the air conditioner at night seems like a waste, yet still enough that opening windows doesn’t really get you anything either.
For those of you who care, my current concern research-wise is looking for a pseudo-algorithm to solve connected domination in grids. I’ve got a bunch of operations (that I’ve named things like Flick
, Shuttle
, and Twist
), and I’m looking to show that if you’re at any random point A, you can use one of these ops to get closer to a specific point B. I’m hoping to avoid writing it out as a formal algorithm, because that seems like it’ll involve extra work.
In other news, my new office computer (G5 iMac) arrives at the end of this week. I’m still waiting on the shop to get my laptop back to me. And I’m getting more and mroe concerned that a virtual majority of the denizens of this country are preparing to do something foolish in five weeks’ time.
