Deadlines, deadlines

The deadlines I'm currently working to; some self-imposed and some external:

This week

Have my simulator basically up and running so I can start testing it

Before Spring Break

Have my simulator well enough tested that I feel I can trust its output to reflect what's really going on in it. Have a good enough outline & division of labour for the Notacon talk that I'm ready to start writing content.

During Spring Break

Gather data from the simulator (I'll be skiing, so I want to be able to set up an experiment each evening and let it run for 24 hours). Write a first draft of my parts for the Notacon talk.

April 4^th

ECAL submission deadline. I have a separate project I need finished for this (not the simulator I'm working on right now, but one similar enough that I'll be able to re-use a lot of code). I really don't know if I can make this or not, but I'm going to try.

April 5^th & 7^th

Present a paper in the Computational Neuroscience seminar. It's 25% of the assessed grade for the course, so it had better be good.

April 8^th - 10^th

Notacon

Mid-June

Defend thesis proposal, so I can move to Seattle knowing I'm on the right track with work. [this is what the simulator I'm currently working on will contribute to, which is why it's still my top priority even though the deadline's longer than other things]

It's going to be a busy few weeks coming up.
