Status for August 17

What have I worked on?

  • metacom: minor tweak to package. Pushed changes to Github and CRAN update submitted. If I could donate money/coffee/beer directly to the R Core team (except maybe Ripley), I’d do it in a heartbeat.

  • alandOcc: models running. I’m hopeful that something comes out as interesting. It would be sort of a neat story if colonization/extinction processes were predicted by different variables than persistence time. It would indicate a separation of process for species getting to a place and species staying in a place.

  • abundOcc: further manuscript edits. Discussion is still lacking, but want to get feedback on scope and such before I push that forward.

  • hmscMouse: edits completed. Message sharpened, especially in abstract and introduction.

  • awesome: It’s a tiling window manager and desktop environment. Was using i3 for awhile, but the learning curve was a bit steep, and it requires too much upfront knowledge and tweaking (network-manager, etc.). I’m really liking awesome thus far.

  • ypj: filled out performance plan (internal logistic stuff).

  • rangeLean: hitting bug. Emailed Robin about it, since I think it relates to the C code. She wrote it, and is a badass.

Tonight

  • workout and sleep: still a bit jet-lagged, and not feeling the greatest. Will drink lots of green tea, workout, and get a good nights sleep (hopefully).

What should I be working on now?

  • helmSize: push the edits forward.

  • persistDistro0: needed to run a subset of the models again, but the results on the larger networks look pretty neat.
