After almost half a month travel through Asia and Hawaii, I have been back to Tokyo last week. A pile of emails occupied my laptop. It's really bad as always. A good news is that results of experiments of a new algorithm look nice to me. Everything is going well but for a small fraction of too much well going piece of the results. I must put that portion into a second try of the algorithm.


It's cold and windy today in Tokyo. After a series of long journey, I decided not to come to Rio de Janeiro next July, that is far away from Tokyo. Maybe not a small number of people who joined SSCI agree with me on that point. Too far from anywhere, geometrically and psychologically.
