AssFace's Journal: I had an epiphany on the toilet yesterday

I was going to the bathroom at work and I'm the first to admit that there are a few places where all of my good ideas come to me, and they are all when I'd otherwise be ragingly bored if my mind didn't wander the way it does:
1) college classes - I don't have those anymore, but those were great times for my mind to check out and think of other stuff
2) reading a book - this is unfortunate since it slows me down in actually reading the book when my mind wanders off
3) sitting on the toilet
4) taking a shower
5) falling to sleep
6) commute (usually the commute home - the commute in is more focused on getting there fast, weaving in and out of traffic (I'm on a scooter) and not getting killed)
7) long run and/or walk (I try to avoid walking anywhere when possible - I'm not lazy - in fact I'm quite athletic, I just get too bored walking - as a result, my mind wanders)

Anyway, all of that aside, my eureka moment was when I was thinking through the correlation of the proof that a meandering river is non-random via its relation to Pi, and the price movement of a given stock over time.
I then thought of a way to use that to predict stock movement.

I was both overjoyed with something new to grind on, but saddened that if I tell people about it, they will first blurt out something about the movie Pi since he was looking for a pattern in the stock market via Pi... that was simply a narrative tool and off base.
This on the other hand is 100% valid - in theory.

That said, the more I think about it, the more I think that I can either disprove it, or show that it is no better than just looking at a chart with a certain type of line drawn over it.

That said, I am still going to program it out to see what I can find of it.

This is the sort of stuff I wish I had someone to talk to about it - but largely speaking, either nobody gets it, or nobody cares. To assume the former I think gives me too much credit.

On a side note, I'm signing up for LiveJournal and will be integrating it with an update to my website that I will do starting on Dec 18th (I have off from the 18th until early January so as to use up all of my vacation days that I hadn't used previously).
I'm thinking I will actually pay them $25 for a year of their service. Ever since I got this Mac, I've been paying for everything. I don't know if that is good or not. I guess it is good to those getting the money - Proteus, Pith Helmet, charities, and LiveJournal... okay, I guess that really isn't that much.
