20100306 Breakpoint demolog, day 31: the culprit has been identified and reduced

Sometimes it’s just better to get away from the computer and come back to it a day later or so. While yesterday I didn’t do much in the productive side of things and I spent something like four hours like that, today I managed to identify what the insidious, mysterious problem was in half an [...]
