Did some more report writing somewhere between 2am and 10am.
#20131105
Start working at lab at 14. Working on report. Wrote some introduction stuff. End 1805.
Started working in the lab with Bjørn 1800. Going to work on the fitness core.

Yup, I'm going to start logging meticulously. I'm going to keep it all on this single page.

Started logging. Going to backlog, so to speak, i.e. write log for previous days. That means that logs that are before this date were not written at that time, but rather today!
Worked on the galapagos-assembler, updating to match new spec.
Updated the .vim syntax highlighter to accomodate for the new changes in the isa. Specifically: conditions. Also added support for multi-line comments. Worked on the galapagos-assembler, updating it to work on new spec, also multiline comments.
Cleaned up VHDL, removed lame header comments, fixed up the PRNG module. Worked on the assembler.
Wrote .vim syntax highlighter for the galapagos assembly. Worked more on galapagos-assember.
Wrote galapagos-assember.
Wrote a PRNG test program in C to test fast random algorithms to see if they are suitable for our purposes. The test uses dieharder. The random algo as it is now is quite fast, but is not that great in terms of randomness. If we throw away some of the bits generated, it will become much better, according to the tests.
Tidying and clerical work in the report.
Improved tooling in the report repo.
Work on the ISA documentation.

Implemented a continuous GA simulation in python to see if continuous GA is usable. As it turns out, it is arguably better.
Discussion with FPGA group in Bjørn's office about the genetics pipeline architecture, and specifically, how to implement the specimen memory banks. The idea of continuous GA cropped up, but we need to do a test to verify if it actually works.
Put a minimal report shell on github, added some latex tips and instructions.
