Nothing against what this guy does, I just don't have quite the patience for it. Tracking is pretty damn interesting though. I have had to do exactly as is described in that article, many times. I have also gotten pretty good at tracking animals before the shot. I usually need snow to do this but I have done it without snow a few times as well. |

Re: November \"I FORGOT MY MANTRA\" Low Content chit-chat thread
This hunting stuff reminds me of a few years ago, during our yearly company trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was December. The weather is pretty good here that time of year but it's variable. Down there it's 70s, sunny, perfect at night.
One of my friends had gone the previous year so he knew how awesome it could be. Golf, all-inclusive resort, trips to bars. Yet the next year he scored a "hard to get" hunting permit that I guess you have to enter a lottery and then win. He decided to forgo 4 days/nights of awesome weather and good company with us for the chance to sit in some bushes in northern Arizona in 40 degree temperatures and hope something wanders along that he can shoot. Five years later I ask him about that decision and he still doesn't regret it. I've never gone hunting though so maybe it's just something I don't understand. |

Re: November \"I FORGOT MY MANTRA\" Low Content chit-chat thread
Oh, good to see you, Tenn!
All, The last of the FORTRAN code has been submitted. I wouldn't be surprised if someone discovers a bug or two I have to fix, but I'm mostly free of all of it. I'm definitely not agreeing to add any new features for any other professors I don't know. Write it yourself, punk! With that out of the way, it's Thanksgiving time, indeed. |

FORTRAN *slaps head*
I haven't been paying close attention to what you do but I haven't seen a resume with recent FORTRAN experience since last decade... |

Re: November \"I FORGOT MY MANTRA\" Low Content chit-chat thread
Heh, yeah. It wasn't on mine until this past September. You missed all my rants about it in our NC threads? I've been contributing to some molecular simulation software originally written back in the 80's, and rather than port a whole lot of really complicated code to C++, they just kept it all in FORTRAN.

Re: November \"I FORGOT MY MANTRA\" Low Content chit-chat thread
Wookie,
To be honest, those posts of yours made my eyes glaze over and were tl;dr because the content was way over my head. Well maybe this paves the way for a long in successful career cutting FORTRAN code, and as all the other FORTRAN coders start to retire and die your skills will be in high demand.
