I'm learning R, for applications in stats and math. finance. It seems similar to Matlab, but it's free. It's not that difficult, especially if you've used Matlab.

I'm getting a new laptop soon. I'm going to use it to use Linux, among other things. I'm going to take a free online course from edX in Linux. Linus Torvalds himself filmed an introduction to it.

LOL Dead in the water, convert a data acquisition system from Dasylab to VB, including switch from an analog input card to TCP/IP communications. Keeps on getting side tracked by products to test and what I call "Word and Excel" stuff.

Another side project was to learn Vis Sim, model up a system, then figure out why a control loop hunts at certain operating points. I think it caused by non-linearities in the system, a section of a transfer function that has a step slope. Vis Sim has a 60 day eval period but I am going to blow right past it.

Wow you guys are heavy hitters. I'm Mister "if it can be bought off the shelf, do it that way if it all possible".

Do tell more about R. What does it run on?

3 of them, all in C++:

First, is documentation for the largely completed range_map class, which I am starting to see more and more as acting like an XML document.

Second, is an interactive GUI Dissassembler for the 6502, with supporting .nes and .fds files in mind; it allows you to group data bytes or words together, insert labels (including backward (-), forward (+), and local (@) levels, define equates, and use alternative text to point to a label instead of showing the raw number; the aim is for it to disassemblies that could be reassembled by loopyNES's asm6, restoring the exact same state the binary .nes or .fds file was in.

Third, is a remake of my SMB3 Map Editor using wxWidgets (instead of the Win32 API directly, which made it less portable) and to also clean it up somewhat.

The third I've been neglecting, but the first and the second I have been working on.

Outside of work, I just modified a user tool to be used on the tempo/conductor staff of an imported midi file. In addition to making multi measure rests out of consecutive whole measure rests, it now hides all rests so that staff can be layered into a staff of real music, only showing tempo indications.

In this forum I had asked about a random number generator for a rubato tool--that has been finished and redistributed for a few weeks.

I just modified FCEUX to allow for better code-data logging on FDS games and also keeping track of which slots each bank is in:
