+12:50 < matches> ECM sent me an email about 2015 Final Year Project preferences...
+12:50 < matches> NO
+12:50 < matches> I already did this!
+12:50 < matches> They also sent me an email about submitting vacation work reports
+12:50 < matches> I didn't do that yet!
+12:51 < matches> This is what you get for totally ignoring the recommended degree progression
+17:17 < Pommers> Guess who has card access through the main door for CS xD
+17:18 * sulix is filled with a jealous rage.
+17:20 < Pommers> hehehehe
+17:20 < Pommers> Pretty sure I now have more Access to CS than both of you :D
+17:54 < matches> They'll probably be glad they get to revoke our access at the end of the year
+17:54 < matches> Doing other assignments is a nice distraction from the project although in terms of time investment it is not wise
+17:54 < matches> In terms of time investment the correct approach is to fail everything else
+17:55 < matches> Although that didn't work so well last semester
+17:55 < matches> (I didn't actually fail but my marks got consistently lower :(
+17:55 < matches> I don't know how to bracket that
+17:55 < matches> :()

+18:12 < matches> My report scores a Flesch Reading Ease of 42.30
+18:12 < matches> Which is higher than "university graduate" and lower than "13 to 15 year old students"
+18:13 < matches> It scores a Flesch-Kincaid Grade of 12.44
+18:13 < matches> I guess that means it is high school level...
+18:13 < matches> That isn't as reassuring as I'd hoped...
+18:14 < matches> At least I'm beating "an average 6th grade assignment"
+18:17 < matches> My physics thesis is 39.90 and 12.99 indicating my writing has gotten dumber, as expected
+18:19 < matches> Yours is at 46.06 and 11.39
+18:19 < matches> The question is, what should we be aiming for...
+18:21 < matches> That was an interesting but not particularly productive diversion into readability of documents
+18:21 < matches> (I think the most this test can conclusively say is that we did indeed write some words)
+18:21 < matches> (Many of which had more than one syllable)
+19:40 * sulix shall have words with "an arbitrary number of syllables" in his thesis.
+19:41 < sulix> Also, it turns out printperf has a big #ifdef QUADTREE_DISABLED around it.
+19:41 < sulix> Which explains much.
+19:59 < sulix> Did you know: when rendering with GMPrat, sometimes the debug text displays the bounds as being totally wrong for a frame, and then they're back to normal.
+20:00 * sulix has found something even more fun than watching paint dry: watching gmprat render.
+20:16 * sulix now has a graph: http://davidgow.net/stuff/ipdf-gmpqttest1.pdf
+20:54 < matches> Cool
+21:16 < matches> That looks very similar to the turtles graph I just got
+21:16 < matches> Except qtree isn't on it
+21:16 < matches> Path-gmprat is my favourite
+21:29 < matches> Ok, I know it's only 9:28 but my clock says 5:28
+21:29 < matches> So that counts as bed time
+21:30 * matches tries not to think about the asignment due tomorrow or the 3 weeks of assignments that need to be marked before students start to hate me
+21:30 < matches> Or, for that matter, how he is going to explain Quantum Mechanics...
+21:31 < matches> Or CoderDojo...
+21:31 < matches> I must be getting old
+21:31 < matches> Back in 2012 I could work on my thesis until 5am and still be awake enough to do my other assignments :S
+21:32 < matches> That might be a slight exagerration, I think there was a large amount of feeling like death involved
+21:36 < matches> I used to know the quantum number selection rules off by heart too...
+21:41 < matches> Ahh, the amazing HTML formatting of the quantum mechanics webpage
+21:41 < matches> The memories
+--- Day changed Sat Oct 25 2014
+11:26 * sulix will not be able to make coderdojo today, for obvious reasons.
+11:26 < matches> Ok, good luck

+14:54 -!- Irssi: Join to #ipdf was synced in 3 secs
+14:55 < matches> Very much in the "The referencing doesn't produce ?? submit it" phase
+14:57 < matches> Ah crap the referencing still produces ??
+14:57 < matches> But only in the appendix...
+15:50 < matches> I get to submit this to a "Printerface"
+15:50 < matches> Oh ho ho
+15:53 * sulix has had the joy of having to redo his data with vblank off.
+15:54 < sulix> Also, the random flickering bug is actually showing up in the graphs
+16:02 < matches> Yuk
+16:03 < matches> So you have loads of data now though?
+16:03 < matches> I had vague plans of redoing graphs and then apathy happened
+16:03 < sulix> Yeah, lots and lots of graphs and numbers.
+16:03 < matches> Cool
+16:04 < matches> I just have like, 3...
+16:04 < sulix> I extended the profiler to also output the number of objects in the document and rendered
+16:04 < sulix> (Well, I only have 3 interesting graphs)
+16:05 < sulix> The quadtree spens 23.7% of its time generating new nodes.
+16:05 < sulix> (In case you cared)
+16:05 < matches> Only 23.7%?
+16:05 < sulix> Yup.
+16:06 < sulix> It generates at total (during the zoom-in-on-grid test for 800 frames) of 219 nodes.
+16:06 < sulix> And clips a total of 6559 objects
+16:07 < matches> I'll email what I have.
+16:07 < matches> Prepare to be whelmed.
+16:07 < matches> Oh dear I just quoted *that* movie
+16:09 < sulix> I'll email mine when I've finished regenerating all of the graphs and stats with non-vblanked data.
+16:10 < sulix> (The quadtree is now officially 2127 times faster than naïve use of GMP rationals)
+16:12 < matches> I think naive use of GMP rationals is a slightly unfair benchmark... :P
+16:12 < matches> But it'll make for impressive graphs
+16:12 < sulix> The requested URL /sam/ipdf/thesis.pdf was not found on this server.
+16:13 < matches> /ipdf/sam/thesis.pdf
+16:13 < matches> Also attached it to the email

+16:13 < sulix> Also, "Wintrhop Professor".
+16:13 < matches> Oh boy
+16:14 < matches> Wait where does it even say that...
+16:14 < matches> Oh
+16:14 < matches> The damn letter
+16:19 < matches> Yeah going by the rubric I think I'll have a solid 1/4 average
+17:05 < sulix> Again, the closer this project is to being due, the more interesting mathematical things I'm finding that I wish I'd seen earlier.
+17:06 * sulix slips a small reference to the Riemann Zeta function into a footnote.
+17:23 < matches> I'm concerned about the lack of interesting mathematical things in my thesis, footnote or otherwise
+17:24 < matches> I think I'm allowed to call it a thesis since that's what I was supposed to put on the "letter"
+17:25 < matches> You can't diss this ertation
+17:25 < matches> That worked in my head
+17:25 < matches> synonyms..

+17:26 < matches> in the key of F# minor
+17:26 < matches> Um
+17:26 < matches> Next year?
+17:27 < matches> Someone has to write a "supervisor report"
+17:29 < matches> Well, I at least have lots of words
+17:29 < matches> Too many to proof read
+18:07 < matches> It has been submitted to the Printer Face
+18:07 < matches> Good luck sulix
+18:10 * sulix solemnly nods: "Good luck to us all!"
+23:34 < sulix> It is done: http://davidgow.net/stuff/DavidFYPThesis.pdf
+23:38 <@bobgeorge33> When are they due?
+23:42 <@bobgeorge33> Lastly, as a double degree student I need to
+23:42 <@bobgeorge33> express a double degree of thanks to my friends and family for their continued patience whilst I
+23:42 <@bobgeorge33> completed my second “final year” project in what is technically a penultimate year.
+23:42 <@bobgeorge33> Very nice

+08:46 < matches> They're due at 12:00pm
+09:00 < matches> Hmm, there are only a few highly wrong statements in my thesis
+09:01 < matches> To resubmit or not to resubmit
+09:03 < matches> I keep thinking I really need more detail and then I realise it's 9000 words...
+09:03 < matches> What did I even say in those 9000 words I don't even
+09:04 < matches> In other news it's 9:04 and no one is at my tutorial...
+09:05 < matches> I was going to show them CQM animations
+09:09 < matches> Curses a student
+09:09 < matches> (I don't know what I want)
+10:15 * sulix resubmits to fix the typo in the latin reference that Tim disconvered.
+10:16 < sulix> I've also added the original proposal as an Appendix because apparently I'm meant to, though it does sort-of highlight how little of it I've actually done.
+10:19 * sulix proceeds to collapse from exhaustion.

+11:13 < matches> Not sure if I am now going to end up with two copies...
+11:14 < matches> The second copy is slightly less vague
+11:14 < matches> I guess people can work out that they need to read IEEE to get the full gory details of the encodings and stuff
+11:15 < matches> Also people can probably work out the legends on my graphs if they think
+11:15 < matches> Also there is like, wierd functional programming notation in Tim and Rowan's emails
+11:15 < matches> Is it a secret code?
+11:23 < matches> AAAH SHIT
