The Status

At this point I have serious doubts about the feasibility of finishing a thesis that my advisor will approve before the deadline. I think his irresponsible behavior towards "advising" me is partly to blame, but the issue right now is one with the code framework I work in. To make a long story short, it is thoroughly fraught with errors. At my advisor's request, last night I worked until almost midnight preparing an example data analysis of the sort I intended to base the thesis on. And today we went through it and were basically able to prove that the code not only has approximation errors associated with it, but blatantly wrong behavior in certain areas and it turns out that some of those aspects are things I need to be able to prove my point.

We're scrambling to identify the problems and light fires under the feet of the responsible developers, but nothing at this lab happens fast. Even if the code was giving results sufficient for me to be comfortable with what I'm trying to demonstrate, there's still the issue of doing what my advisor wants and there's no sign of that being feasible either.
