I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Yay!

Sometimes things just work out!

Thanks SIG.

Sometimes they do. She went out first and held the main piece which is called a "jong" at least one time after that. Then she just kept going. At one point she had over 2,000 points and I started catching up to her.

Phone call this afternoon. Work tomorrow but I need to stop at the grocery store before hand.

Well, I got a piece of good news today. It's not medical, I can't share it, but it's a weight off my mind. Phew!

Got back after 4pm. Tired. Honey, garlic chicken wings and potato wedges for supper.

Out, out and about.

Got the kitchen sink fixed again after it decided to back up for a couple of days. Makes me wonder about the pipes in here. Old building.

Glad you got it fixed, Brenda. I HATE plumbing, but I've had to do a lot of it since owning my own place.

Got my AI session to break up our code, which is now in 7 modules, and 6 of them running in a Library subfolder.

Is it helping? Not sure yet...

It appears we're still ironing out some spaghetti code and possibly some fragmentation that occurred when we did the split. But I do believe it allows us to work on specific problems much better without getting the AI to blindly make fixes that break other things.

Fingers crossed I can put this all together the right way today and isolate all of this code as working so the AI never touches it again as we add some new modules responsible for tasks we haven't yet added to the process.

The drain line to our kitchen sink was almost rusted shut. There's no fix except to replace the pipes, or work extra hard to keep the remaining opening clear.

So, you're breaking up the code even further. Good!

That code that I had to review... It had been written by an inexperienced programmer, and the same lines kept reappearing throughout the software. IIRC it was a data acquisition function, and it was re-written each time for a different instrument. More than a half dozen times IIRC. I didn't have to do more than scan the program to know it was borked.

Afterwards, it was rewritten by an experienced programmer, and that same function was replaced by a subroutine that was called for different instruments using different variables and instrument names.

I know you know this. I'm just emphasizing that the more you can break your code into functions/ subroutines the easier it is to analyze and fix each part.

And now, I have to go back to researching my own medical condition. I messaged my rheumatologist about my liver problem, and she reduced one of the meds that I've been suspicious about for a long time, since it's known to make livers cranky sometimes to the point of damage.

She also told me to tell all my prescribing doctors as well.

Sounds like I'm the medical coordinator!

I made an appt to see a hematologist. But unfortunately since I won't see him until Dec 30 (!) I have to research my diet and meds myself.

So, off I go!

Now THIS is what we finally needed to do.

I've still had to get into the middle of fixes and tell it when it was wrong, but having our code broken up into 7 digestible parts is making it a lot easier for me to follow the logic, and it helps the AI isolate what it needs to be focusing on without breaking other parts as we finally fix them for good.

We're still working on some functionality that broke between the code shortening and then splitting it all up into modules, but the progress has been really good after last session was almost a waste of an entire day (aside from making those modules).

What's left to fix now should be incidental, even though it will take quite a few more code updates because I'm forcing it to fix only one thing at a time while I test.

We just finally got our code to execute at top speed again for the first time in about 36 hours. It had slowed to a crawl and was only doing about a dozen filname/moves per second, which would probably equate to about an hour-long runtime if not broken early, but now we're finished in about 1 minute again.

And the best part is that all the #'s for every aspect on the execution run are 100% accurate up to the final graph. We've NEVER accomplished that before. And I'm pretty certain once we iron out the bugs we're working on right now that Graph should be perfect without having to fix anything.

I might actually finally be able to move on to the next stage of testing and code additions today after about 4 straight sessions of swimming in muck.

So, do I. But I am also replacing the strainer I have in the kitchen sink drain. It is gunked up and not helping. Just have to be careful until Monday.

Yeah, I think it was last year a plumbing company was brought through to replace the sink pipe and the bathroom pipes with plastic to prevent whatever rust was happening. I have a strainer in the drain and I am replacing it on Monday. So, I will have to be careful over the weekend.

All done for today. Having a sit down now. Grocery shopping I got a box of non-allergen cookies. Just little bites but no egg and dairy free.

Still a bright beautiful day up here. Sitting at around 74F. Suppose to rain tonight have to see but right blue sky.
