Cha-cha-changes...

A few changes in the works...

I'll be doing game-theory articles as a series of distinct stages from now on. Those stages will be:
  1. Defining the problem and the associated rules

  2. Estimating an effective set strategy for an antonymous player (e.g., a "bot")

  3. Implementing the problem, rule set, and strategy into a model or simulation

  4. Run the model/simulation and analyze the results

  5. (Optional) Revise the strategy and rerun the results, if necessary

This should allow me to cover a topic better, as well as encourage me to take my time and do a good job.

Another change is how I do the labels. Labels let you automatically chain topics together. Up until now, I've been using them somewhat haphazardly, however going forward I intend to use them as a sort of archiving system. It's hard to describe write now because I don't have a lot of posts, but I think it will clear up as things go along.

I've also discovered how to schedule a post. For those of you using Blogger: it's a little tricky, because you need to log into the beta version of Blogger and enter your post in there. Once you do, though, you can schedule a "Post Date and time" under the options, and it will automatically post whenever you schedule it. I'm working on that so I can write a bunch at once and then schedule things to post in scheduled intervals.

Finally, I've been working on a new layout! Unfortunately, I don't have that layout done yet, but it is in the works! I was going to wait until it was finished before writing this, but I really don't want a reason to procrastinate on posting this. Especially since tomorrow is Wednesday, so tomorrow's post will be a review. But I already have another post game-theory post scheduled for Friday, and that will give me time to start write the following stages. Stay tuned!
