Day 525 of 1000
After getting permission to work from home for the day and talking to the insurance and auto repair people to get started on fixing the pickup, I started investigating methods to do perform non-linear regression on the data with which I am working for Quantum Catch. Andrew has given me some clues with respect to different open source tools I could use, but I can see there will be a lot of learning before I will be able to do this very well. I found this page on Simple Nonlinear Regression in R, but that led me to another page I had to read first. I am sure there will be lots of detours I will have to take before I get the hang of all this.
I struggle with learning stuff that is that broad and filled with minutia, but I like it a lot. It got me to thinking I should probably start looking at scripture in the same light that I look at these technical/work pursuits. I like to read about the things that were going on in history at the times of the different events in the bible, but that is not really what I am talking about. I mean, I think it is important and a joy for the light to go on in any kind of learning, so if I focus more of my time on scripture, I might struggle sometimes like with my technical pursuits, but I know the payoff is coming. I need to think about how to put that all into practice.
