Work on OctoberProject has been slow-going since I spent the past few days agonizing over how to approach this network optimization (since none of my ideas seemed both elegant and containable) only to eventually just quickly hack in one approach to measure the impact, just to find that it doesn't seem to actually improve much at all as the bottleneck concerning me isn't as big a deal as I first thought. Not sure how I got the idea into my head that this would be a problem. Should still be resolved at some point but probably as part of a larger network reconsideration, later on when some visibility rules change for 2.0. Bottleneck utilization is only ~40% with 100 clients.

Other than that, been very tired for the past 2 days. When I was in my 20s, I remember a friend in her 40s telling me that hang-overs start to last 2 days when you get older. I think I am seeing that.

Of course, it could also just be the lack of normal patterns which used to define life. It is odd how all of this "age" seems to have struck me at the same time our culture stopped going outside. Now, if only I had somewhere to go...

Anyway, I guess I need to look into this light level speculation work. Shouldn't be too bad, as similar things are already handled this way, but I should probably use this as a chance to re-think the SpeculativeProjection in broader terms.

Now, if only I could stay awake,
