In the dirt on a dusty trail...
today i woke up with thoughts on how to simplify some calculations/simulations that i haven't thought about for over 3 years. the simulations were tangental to my research, but though i was interested in the results (more interested that in my actual research), i was never able to finish them.
actually, at the rate that my computers were going, i had estimated that it would take about 2 years of constant calculations to *MAYBE* have an answer.
but this morning (read:"early evening"), i scribbled down the ideas that i woke with, and then came a flood of other ideas... so after thirty minutes or so i had a couple pages which lay out a whole new way to approach the problem... what i think is a much more clever and simple way (though still relatively time-consuming).
a plan to solve a problem which i have no use for-- one which no one really has any use for.
i even checked my favorite P2P network to see if i could download a copy of some fluid flow software that i could use to work on it. unfortunately it was on the network, and is slowly being downloaded by my ex-engineering ass.
i need a drink.
