    But if I had more time for hobbies, then I could possibly turn that into income :) somehow......

    I looked at all my hobbies. There's no way I could make enough from them to replace the income I get as an engineer, so I'm stuck. I owe, I owe, so off to work I go...

    Somehow I ended up in a company that's so small that can't even pay half what I should be making doing what I'm doing :(

    Unfortunately, all the other jobs for what I'm doing are in other states.

    Morning. Songbirds cheering loudly at dawn's first fingers painting rich crimson streaks on an eggshell blue sky :)

    Lunch! Popcorn chicken, fried Okra, and diet Coke! Upper 70Fs outside, was a nice trip to the grab-and-go for food.

    Still thinking about track art.. argh.. I'm fairly certain I'm going to put a PDF "leaflet" in my "CD box" for interested people to read. It's simple enough and I think I can export PDF from OpenOffice. Might sell a whole 1 extra copy because of it (lol)! :lol:

    AND I need to write a bio again. Boring, boring, who cares about me? Just enjoy the music.. :red:


    ...45° and ugh here. Off and on rain. Had to shut down for a while as there was lightning in the area. looks like March here is going out like the proverbial lion. Lows will be dropping into the upper 30s for the next several mornings. Dry and may reach 60° on Saturday, then back to more wet stuff pretty much all next week. Got too spoiled with how nice it was most of the month.

    Trouble is, too late in to get any snow in the mountains anymore so this will not help the summer drought situation at all.

    ,,,been there. 18 years with the same company and barely made 2.50$ above minimum (for my state)after all was said & done. Been on the bottom for so long got used to very frugal living. Maybe my hobby might actually make me a better living if I set it up right.

    ...got an email about Gia being free. Still had my PC coupon put her plus Team Spirit in the cart (nice teenager outfit) and nothing happened. Turns out you need TWO "Newly/Still Mad" releases.

    ..and odd, no PC releases today either..

    ...oh well.

    Wait tomorrow is the first? that means if I do not use my coupons for March I will loose them?
    Hopefully I can decide what to get before going to bed.

    ...yes, and yes.

    Wish they'd posted the PC items like they usually do on Tuesday as I could use one for second new release to get Gia. Everything else is either too expensive (considering it is the end of the month) or something I won't use

    i'm excel stuck again at my dayjob.

    Whee! I managed to break Excel today! I fed it a CSV file with 7,396,001 lines of data in it. :ohh: It turns out there is a hard limit in Excel that's just over 1M rows. Tsk, Tsk. At least Excel would LOAD 1M lines. Poor LibreOffice just went into La-La land. Anybody know a free data visualization package that can handle 7M data points?

    ...and I thought I pushed software to it's limits. 7 million lines?

    What kind of a database could generate that many rows?

    Well, I can't be too specific, but it's data that is averaged over small windows of area. There is an array of roughly 2650x2650 windows. The customer wanted to see an x-y plot of one of the output values vs. an input value. I warned them that there is not a good correlation because there are multiple inputs to the simulation. Looking at only one input to output relationship is going to have a lot of noise. 7M points of noise...

    I had a different job running last weekend that ran about 24 hrs and used 32 cpus and about 140GB of memory. We have systems with 1TB of Ram...

    They usually don't post them before 7pm DAZ time at the earliest, so I'd expect them to show up sometime within the next hour.

    Not really. Engineering simulations related to yield predictions of chips with maybe 1 billion transistors. There are more transistors in ONE cell phone than EVER went to the Moon...

    ...probably more than in all the portable radios in the entire world back in the 1950s.

    Matlab can, you might be able to DL a trial that handles big CSVs from mathworks.com, I haven't used a trial version don't know if there are limitations :)
