Today's Wednesday, so that means I spent little time researching and a lot of time scrambling to make something resembling progress on my 236 hw. I've been in the game long enough to know though, that for a class this hard "progress" really means surfing the web and occasionally staring at the page until capitulation.
Capitulation is when I've procrastinated to such an extent that the score doesn't matter any more. The goal becomes writing down something in between what a monkey would crap onto the page, and a semi-coherent, horribly trivial, but almost certainly incorrect answer. This happens because it just isn't worth spending 10 hours struggling to get the last 50% of the answer when the assignment as a whole is only worth 2% of my grade. And the value of the grade itself is marginal at best.
Hopefully I'll find the time tomorrow to f around with more SPGD experiments and get something working with a 180 DAC bias. I haven't quite gotten to the point of research capitulation just yet.
