20100325 Breakpoint demolog, days 38-50: change of plans

I’m quite sure most of you might have thought that I had either a) silently abandoned my goal or that b) I was just too busy to post here. I can tell you the answer is b) :-D We went to Spain for a few days (hence the plane meditation title of a previous post) [...]

I have implemented the variable value [...]
