Updates

Since the beginning of the month, I've commenced tutorials at the School of Maths. I've met with all the groups, they seem like polite and able students. It takes a while to break the ice, especially in a course like Linear Algebra and Calculus. So with the rolls still not finalised and the session just started, and as I usually say, let's see how it pans out as time passes.

======

So I've officially ditched C.

I decided my multi-dimension array issues is just not worth troubleshooting anymore. I've since migrated all my code to PERL now. Speed is not so much an issue anymore. So the more pressing issue is to get the code working, and working correctly.

======

One thing that I still have to implement is the sampling in the simulations. The current structure of my arrays, hashes and variables changed when I migrated to PERL. This makes the sampling different, and I have to re-implement it. When I was using C, I had a code snippet (from my supervisor) that accomplishes this. It's a bit different now with my new structures, so I'm having a think through how to write my loops and distribution arrays.
