Misc notes [0803.1999] I'm cleaning out my notes file. Here's some random stuff about traderbots and telephone wiring, constraints at work, and perl modules.
trading systemsif we only look at the current trends, it would be helpful to know, for a particular stock, how much it tends to move from tick to tick... call it "inertia" or velocity.. this would give you an idea of how much time you'd generally have to buy or sell before realizing a trend has started..?
telephone wiringI needed to setup a second phone line (a while back) and figured I could save some money doing it myself. I went to the library and read up on how this stuff works. The phone company only goes to the d-marc location - the box outside. All the inside wiring involves wires that are probably already in the wall. When I unscrewed my jack, there were six color wires in the wall: red, green, yellow, black, blue, white (the book said it could be orange for some people)... blue and white seem to be the second line. So I just unhooked the red and green, connected the blue and white, and voila! My jack now points to the second phone line.
Constraints at ASI
* issues slowing me down at georgianet: * boredom * slack * other projects * multi*tasking * waiting on other people (marta, etc.) * hardware failures * learning curve * sucky legacy code * issues possibly slowing us down in general: * lack of reusable code (access, asp) * bloated scope * delay in feedback |
