I got up early this morning, saw the big full moon before it set, walked to the gym, worked out, and walked back home, stopping to stretch on the way.
During the night last night, I tried again to run the 6th case of the knapsack packing problem for my Discrete Optimization class, but it again used up all the memory in my computer and even apparently had trouble with swapping out to the disk. In any case, unless I can figure out a way to make my algorithm take less memory, I will not be able to run this case, at least not on this computer.
I watched a couple more lectures for the class this morning. Although I can follow generally what the professor is talking about, I don't think I'm going to be able to implement the models he's describing. My proficiency at working with complex data structures is just not that good, I fear. I'm not giving up yet, but I may end up mostly just watching the lectures but not doing most of the problems. We'll see.
We ate lunch at Greg café today. David had mini-brownies, and I have edamame and a small chopped salad.
I taught 7 units units of Berlitz lessons today: 2:45-5:00, 5:00-6:30, and 7:00-8:30. All were individual students, the first an Austrian working in Malaysia, the second in Germany, and the third in France.
