About the SSer/AC

Spoiler

Yesterday I did NOT wake up at 3am like I wanted, to get the SSer going and actually make quota. Instead, I waited until I got to university, which was a mistake. I did my dailies, got it running, and of course, Neo went down. when I got home, and it was back up again, I set the regular quota list to running and set about to find out HOW to find out how many I'd sent, so I didn't overdo it. I even went to ask the boards.

WRONG

Turns out, even though it's not the same computer, the SSer knows how many were sent. So, I just had to wait for each game to be played and then write that down. I made this complicated (at first) spreadsheet (because I love spreadsheets) listing the Max per day, what the total MaxOverAll has been so far, then a list of QuotaByDay, with a combined QuotaOverAll total. Then, I how many games I've played OverAll (thanks to the lists AbsoluteCorruption and the NeoFunction posts) and learned I'm stupid behind quota. I think it's because that first day I didn't get the SSer going until late, so it ran over midnight. And then the next day, I think I ran the list right, but it didn't just fill that gap. I don't know if I went over max or not, but I feel that with YYB it would have had to. Still. Not frozen yet.

Anyway, I separated the games in the daily Quota list in a spreadsheet, and looked to see how behind I was in QOA (quota over all). I was so behind that I'd need more YYB than were in the list! So of course, I'm bouncing back and forth, editing my forum post, to try to work this all out. Instead of just erasing everything (because it annoys me when I try to respond and find someone has completely changed their post) I just added/edited. It took someone posting the MaxPerDay for me to really ABSORB those numbers..

DUH

I'd already SENT a bunch of scores! It doesn't matter how BEHIND I am, if there's a MAX, I can't really do anything PAST that point. So, I stopped the SSer (now sending my updated list) and used my little spreadsheet to determine the difference between MPD - what I'd sent. Turned THAT into a list, and set it up. Got it running. Then, Neo went down. HA. I don't know what I ended up sending yesterday, but it was a big fat not much. About a third of quota, I think. SO, today I'm running a QuotaFirstThenMax list.

About Community
I don't really know if the quota is cumulative, or just per day per team etc. But, I really want to feel I'm doing my part (though, I'm doing it through cheating, hmm). Im so disconnected from the community on Neo, but the one here is actually active and friendly and helpful. I thought I'd abandon all hope ye who enter here etc, since my time on Clraik was so short (but seriously, I really thought I was answering an open question, but the thread was two months old, and that somehow resulted in some belligerent fop nitpicking at me. Tell me I did wrong, sure, even scold me, but nitpicking I do not abide. Either be an adult and get out with it, or just shut up. Seriously. I'm a big girl, I can take being wrong. Ugh.)

ANYWAY. I like these folks, and hope to stick around a while. It's like a little quest, learning the new things they do. Though it would suck to get iced, I feel like, losing the account would hurt only a day or two. I mean, I'm not daft at html etc, so I have my profile and main pet saved so I can host them in memoria if need be. Ok, so it would still suck, but seriously, I have such a huge gamegraveyard already, it would just be one more page.

About Work
Anyway, better get some work. Advisor FINALLY read my work, as I think I mentioned, and yesterday decides that the semester project should be done next Wednesday because he'd finally like to start that paper (and wants it done end of summer, what? You've given me dickall for guidance, let me just pull that out of my ass.)

PS, isn't there supposed to be some little award thing for being a blogger now? I like it though. It's, soothing.
