Refinement!

I am very happy to report that the algorithm that I thought up is now refined to work even better than it worked before! Suzanne = very happy. I thought up the improvement during benchmarking, and now I can start coding.

In related happy news, I finally got access to the computer that Dr. Williams is letting me use. I spend the better part of the afternoon installing software (cygwin, MiKTeX, Tortoise SVN, PAUP, the usual). I should be ready by tomorrow to port my code from my laptop to this computer. Then, I can probably do everything a lot easier, since I will have internet access (when I was programming on my laptop, I didn't have access to the internet... perhaps that's why I was so productive). Hopefully, my productivity streak will continue.

Plans for tomorrow: Port current code, generate graphs for benchmarking, write some more code, learn how to use PAUP. As soon as I generate the graphs, I will post them. And explain, pre-improvement, what I want to do to them :-)

That's all for now. I'm going to finish installing software and then get out of here (probably get some food. mmm... food).
