12:30 ----- Skip day of Amit.

Tues Feb 21 '89

8:00 -----

Good thoughts about AI & start to write some notes about it and relationship to Vis Disp of Quant Info.

-----

Glad I at least got bench press & incline done last night. Still hurt a bit.

-----

Called Chuck to get garage #2.

10:00 Write Chip birthday card & Mark Thompson Canada card.

Drop books & Mac Basic compiler at storage.

To Crowne Plaza.

11:15 Read Chap 6 "Language & Communication" in Eye, Brain, Computer.

Lunch at Black

Finish chap 6, Skimming sections semantics pragmatics

1:30 Read Jan 87 Byte (last magazine, yay).

Mathematics requires > 1 meg.

3:00 ----

3:15 Chap 7 of EBC, "Expert Systems"

3:45 Look over ch 8 & 9 on vision.

Not my cup of tea...skip.

I will read epilog later, at home, tonite

4:00 Had enough of this place today. Leave.

Pickup mail at P.O. (Sat & today's)

Stop at storage to see if manual mentions explicit differences between compiler & interp.

Yes. I suppose I feared even minor changes, last year so I had reason not to compile Pers Acct.

At home, looking at QuickBasic doc'n, it's not explicit, but looking at a statement like DEFINT shows the difference between interp & comp.

So I ahve the same reluctance to use QuickBasic.

5:00 Do mail. Not much excess!

5:30 Look at old Value Line stuff, and they gave me 10% discount off $660!

5:45 No Comp Chron yesterday (holiday).

Dinner.

Make backups of disks of VL data.

But only once since I need labels & more disks.

7:00 Start EBC epilog, but too fuzzy, I am.

7:15 Go to SMB to steam, to do something for body.

Off to Crowne Plaza to read Jan 89 Tufts.

J/O too.

Think about getting Mac SE/30, to keep VL data on hard disk, but even then I'd want to have copies of master data disks on floppy.

Go home. Put staff away.

Gather up AI stuff to take to Crown Plaza tomorrow
