I am - off-the-thread, semi-professionally, the "curiosity-killed-the-cat" way - involved with genetic algorithms in the case of "decision making under uncertainty" [*]. Now what could practical applications of that be;... When you have your machine chugging at some problem (capital allocation, travelling salesman, all kinds of things usually taken as unsolvable in the polynomial sense) there's a moment when some unexpected chromosome kicks in and things start again to move towards the optimum. Welcome, BF, hey, just dont ... ye know.

It's essential that the mind stays open - even if it is ... ahem ... not easy to do so. The pile of virtual newspaper - that was by far the closest I saw so far in terms of "Lucky from "waiting for Godot" comes to town" and "Tristram Shandy on losing the farm and generally on the destruction of moral values of US of A". The guy must have gone through pure hell. Maybe we should have (now and then) an AA-kind-of session: "My name is DJ (Hi DJ) and I lost a pile".

Btw it sort of looks like the AIRPORT has opened again for traffic - VIX is trending up into 30s. We were getting stale.

On my home front - I am getting more rigorous with my money management. Sort of slipped on ice since 09/11 but hey nobody said a tripple Ridberger backwards is an easy matter.

and, we got a new Bundeskanzler Candidate yesterday - Edmund Stoiber for the opposition. Runs Bavaria and will make the federal election campaign VERY interesting. Stand by for further news.
