4 hours driving
13 hours sleeping
6 hours eating
1 hour showering
6 hours reading or talking
2 hours churching
2 hours waiting
28 hours working



and then she's back.

And yes, I have been micromanaging my life for the past week and will continue to do so until this presentation is finished on Tuesday. 4 days until I get my whole life back. (2 1/2 until I get half my life back)

Tacosort

I found my new favorite sorting algorithm! It's called Tacosort, and its complexity is O(n*2^(k*n)), where n is the number of elements to be sorted and k is the bit size of each element.

So far my longest record is taking 1,269,829,745 tries to sort a 4-element array.
