N?/B?/M?) There was something wrong with that plan, but it's not easy to recall what the problem was.

--

Investment amount and period set such that there will be no premature termination of the experiment. Number sold each period permanently decreased to whatever ceiling set by the highest value of the units observed.

At the end of the experiment, the experiment will be a success if all accrued units can be sold at once for a net profit. This applies more if a profit will be made even if they are sold at the lowest dip of their price fluctuation, and more still if the experiment itself resulted in a steady profit even before it ended.

The last case may or may not be impossible. It should be possible to mathematically (?) simulate the factors involved to estimate feasibility. We are likely unable to adequately do this at this time.

There was a major disruption of plans. There was Scrabble, and pouring cold rain down on us without an umbrella.

All else has been taken care of.

Assuming we don't get up again from thinking about this, sleep now.

Edit: N?/B?/M?) Conclusion: necessary to set the amount sold each time such that it would be more than the amount bought when the price is high and less than the amount bought when the price is low. Better yet, just look at whether it's high or low and buy or sell accordingly. Buy/Sell orders can also be used.

Necessary to get a general plan for fluctuations which don't fall within a set range.

Lying down and drifting close to sleep in the warmth of a bed seems to help our thinking process.

Waking up tomorrow is going to be... difficult.

Did I ever appear in one of your dreams?



If so, today's your chance to tell the world about it.

though I've heard a lot of people who do want to see Men Who Stare at Goats some other time. So maybe later.

With MUCH more advance notice, I'm going to go to see Baron Munchausen at the Brattle on December 20th.

Just commented to hammercock in IM that there is a complete paucity of midnight Christmas showings of Gremlins, these days.

If anyone wants a winter jacket that looks like this:



GAP is having a sale on jackets like that one. In purple, dark blue, black and brown. With taxes it came to less than $100.

The sale runs only until Sunday, and you would need one of those printable coupons that they e-mail. I have one so if you want one, I can e-mail it to you.

We've made some additions and improvements to Notes!

The Notes feature has been added to two action-taking pages:

• You can now add a Note directly on the Add a friend page - handy if you'd like to mark down where you met them or another name you know them by!
• On the Ban and unban users page (under Account -> Privacy) you can now add a Note, including to a group of users all banned at the same time (so that next year you won't need to ask yourself "hey, why did I ban these guys?")

Other changes:

• When you're viewing your existing Notes they're grayed out; click in a field to activate it to change the text (this page can be found from the header by using Profile -> Manage Notes)
• Changes to editing:
  • When you're going to create a new Note but one already exists, you'll get a warning that you're editing an existing Note
  • You can now delete a note from the "Edit note" pop-up in the hover menu
  • You can now delete notes for multiple selected users on the Manage notes page
  • When you change Notes on "Ban|unban users" page, they can be edited and saved with "Save Changes" button

Notes augmented

We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!

Product tweaks and bug kill

1. In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
2. If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
3. The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
4. If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
5. If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
6. Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)

New FCK fixes rich text editor!

1. We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
2. When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
3. RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
4. An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
5. The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers

LiveJournal Cares

We’re pleased to introduce you to lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.

In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.

Papered in postcards

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.

Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!

We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at lj_photophile.

Storm just concluded our conversation with "Gotta go, I need to go try to buy a robot."

When we were wee little ones, robots weren't "real".

The fact that this will be our second one delights me to no end.

okay where is the best place to buy a vacuum in this town. I wanna buy something good but I don't wanna spend 6 bills on it. Someone has to know about some super secret vacuum deal in this city I swear to god. Everything I look at that looks awesome they want my first born child. One of you must have vacuum insider tips or I will burn this community to the ground.

I try not to bitch too much in my journal, but this day has been simply sucktastic. As some facebook readers already know, my laptop was FedExed back home today after nearly a week at the repair depot out in Mississauga. It went in for a noisy fan. It came back with a new hard drive. And no, I didn't back it up first. Everything, everything, everything was on that hard drive. Every picture I've taken since April 08. My entire music collection. Many vital work files. Every time I think of something new that I'll never get back, I feel a wave of nausea. Anyway, Marshall spent a fruitless 45 mins. on the phone arguing with tech support and then finally decided to just drive out there and demand the old one back, though I believe it has probably been pressed into a tiny cube by now. I know it was very stupid not to make a backup, but how can they decide to just change the hard drive without calling first?

To add to my aggravation, I still have not heard back from Nat's pediatrician regarding her bloodwork. On Friday, I called to ask if they were in yet and the receptionist said yes, but "there's a problem, and the doctor will have to call you herself." Ok, I'm not the most paranoid parent on earth, but even I have limits. You can't go telling me there's a "problem" and then not get back to me for a week. On Monday I called back, and have called back every day since. The receptionist doesn't even have to ask who I am anymore. Finally today in desperation I called my own family doctor to ask if he had heard anything (I saw he had been CCd on the bloodwork requisition). This isn't even his case anymore but he's already called me twice to let me know what he's found out (so far, diddly). My nerves are shot and I'd like this day to just be over already.

Does anyone know where to find Steaz soda in Toronto or Oakville?

I know of one location (a health food store) in Oakville but I don't feel like paying $3-$4 a bottle and I actually want a case of it. The stuff is awesome.

Специальный концерт-запись DVD
(билеты от 500 руб.)

«Он… буквально зажигал воздух вокруг себя, сыпал на головы зрителей звуки, мусор, погремушки, воздушные шарики... Все что угодно, лишь бы вокруг было весело и громко. Или просто хорошо и душевно»
Gromko.Ru

Джейсон Вебли – бродячий музыкант, всеобщий любимец, исполнитель хриплых баллад, очаровавший российскую публику впервые в далеком 2002-м году; с успешными концертами он побывал даже в Норильске, где приобрел статус абсолютной звезды. В июле 2009 он справил 11 годовщину «криков, топанья и толкотни». За эти плодотворные 11 лет, Джейсон записал пять студийных альбомов: Viaje (1998), Against the Night (1999), Counterpoint (2002), Only Just Beginning (2004), The Cost of Living (2007) и массу совместных пластинок со своими друзьями музыкантами. В России он выпустил альбом-компиляцию на лейбле Badtaste - «The Drinking Songs» и альбом-коллаж из живых выступлений в России 2002-2003 годов - «Happy Birthday Jason Webley». В этом году Джейсон уже приезжал в Россию, что бы поддержать свою подругу Аманду Палмер из Dressden Dolls, теперь Вебли возвращается с сольными концертами в честь своего творческого одиннадцатилетия. Для Джейсона Вебли цифра 11 значит очень многое. Что именно? Спросите лучше у него самого, он очень любит общаться после концерта!
Выступления Джейсона – это не просто концерт, это целый театр, в котором каждый зритель становится полноценным участником постановки с первых минут и до самого конца. Джейсон же является режиссером и дирижером, управляя веселой толпой и заставляя всех плясать, кружиться, выкрикивать слова и кидаться овощами. Его музыка разрывает вас на части своей карнавальной веселостью, опьяняет своей энергичностью и качает свинговыми ритмами. Концерт пройдет при поддержке друзей Джейсона Вебли - российских музыкантов "The Russian Band": Владимир "Big" Глушко (EXIT project), Мария Логофет ("Лампа Ладино") и Роман Бубнов.
