begin again.
After months of turmoil, things in our house (as opposed to the larger world) seem to be settling down into a bit of a routine. I find myself with time on my hands. Since freeing up some time is a huge piece of my multi-year Happiness Project, I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. Happily

We managed a couple of celebrations this past week… Coming up this week: 30: National Croissant Day and Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day Do you know on this one block you can buy croissants in five different places?

As always, I just love sunflowers!
walk in the woods.
It’s been too long. FAR too long. But today the to do list was blissfully short. The girl was in a good mood. The weather was perfect (41 and sunny). My knee didn’t hurt. So off we went. Chloe, Phelix, and I. I forced them into a small detour; I am quite ignorant of the

work: using DOcplex in a Jupyter notebook
Now that you have installed IBMยฎ Decision Optimization CPLEXยฎ modeling for Python (DOcplex), installed IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio Community Edition, and obtained a DOcplexcloud API key, you can solve optimization problems both locally and on the cloud. Our next step is to use DOcplex and solve optimization problems from within a Jupyter notebook. Jupyter

grading the arabia lot.
Back on December 21st, we closed on my Arabia lot. What a mess. The land was disturbed beyond imagination. First step, even if we do nothing else, was to have it graded. What a production.
work: solving a DOcplex model on the cloud
As mentioned in solving a DOcplex model using a local solver, there are restrictions on the Community Edition of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio which make it difficult to solve a problem of any real consequence. If you would like to test out some larger optimization problems, you can register for a thirty day free
work: solving a DOcplex model using a local solver
Once you have DOcplex installed, it is possible to model your optimization problem. But now, how do you solve your problem? In this post, I will describe one of two choices for solving models, using a local installation of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio. I will describe the other, using the cloud, in a future

Gazoo usually runs and hides when I get out my camera, but she was quite photogenic this day.
work: installing DOcplex
On this snowy (fingers crossed), slow Friday at work, I set myself a simple project. Get DOcplex up and running on our home computer, a Mac. First, what is DOcplex? IBMยฎ Decision Optimization CPLEXยฎ modeling for Python (aka DOcplex) makes it possible to model optimization problems using Python. Once a problem is modeled in Python,

the more things change, the more they stay the same…
At some point, maybe I’ll write more. But for now, I’ll report that after a break of 3.5 years, we are once again a homeschooling family. And what does a homeschooling family do? We go to the zoo, of course…. And are thankful that old friends are there to welcome us home….
