55 Hopefully it won't, but I'm expecting a few hours. I have access 24/7 as long as there isn't a class in it, so it's not that big a deal. I don't have anything I need to do before 11:30 tomorrow.
 
57 Well, it went mostly well. But I just went to office hours to get things checked off, and the TA didn't show up for the first 1/4 of his office hours, and hadn't explained things properly so I need to fix my circuit, take a video, and email it to him because I had to leave to get to class before I could fix it.
If you can't tell, I'm a little irritated.
 
59 So, hopefully I can find another lab I can use, as the one I normally use isn't open until almost 9 tonight. I'd rather not wait that long to do the testing and writing up
 
61 Found a lab that claimed to have a class in it, but was empty, so I used that. Just was missing alligator clips, but banana cables and heavy things are totally a reasonable alternative...
 
61 its always nice to watch the script you made to import large amounts of data doing its job.

And with large amount of data, I mean a csv file that is too big for excel and other similar programs to handle.
My script is currently over line 90000
 
64 its 65 lines of code, 15 of which is just to split each line of the csv. (Its a bit more complicated than splitting at every comma as some values contain a comma)
I can probably shrink the split code a bit, but that would mean I need to learn lua's version of regular expressions, which frankly sucks.

In other news, this data has a tulip listed as "FRUITVEG" so.....yea... I guess that that is now one of the products the fruit webshop I need to make for school will sell.....
 
64 and... there is some more weird stuff labeled as "FRUITVEG" such as
MISC. CHRISTMAS ITEMS
DAFFODIL
FRUIT, OTHER
POTTED PLANTS
some that have no names and maybe I missed some stuff.

So... time to extend the filter......
