Nothing exciting to report this week. Esther’s finally done with the crazy tax-deadline work, but I’ve been very busy with my clients’ work.

I did make a [https://8th-dev.com/forum/index.php/topic,1744.0.html new release of 8th]. This time the performance was improved pretty drastically, so that makes my users happy.

As I mentioned last week, one of my clients’ projects has to do with “image classification”. So I’ve had to learn some theory, but since I’m implementing their “POC” (proof-of-concept), I have to understand how the code I’m using works. It would be much easier if the code was written in a more logical manner; it isn’t, so I have to almost debug it to get a handle on it.

Doing that, however, gives me an appreciation for some very cool technology. I’m doodling around in 8th working on a parallel implementation of some of the tech, so I can understand it better (and perhaps incorporate those algorithms). More on this at a later date…

We finally got our first real rain last night; it turned from hot and dusty to cool and windy to cold and wet in the space of just a few hours. But alas! the main body of rain is over for now. Nevertheless, we’ll have cool Autumn weather for the next week.

This ''shabbat'' we’ve got:
<br>
homemade ''ḥalla'',
butternut-squash soup,
baked chicken,
baked tuberous vegetables,
various ''salatim'',
and nut clusters.

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''!
