Someone recently informed me that my blog doesn’t qualify as a tech blog. Just to dispel the notions that my blog is inadequate in any way, I sat down to write a VBA program that would simulate dating in a safe, Microsoft environment.
Well, talk about too much success. My simulation was so accurate that it got caught in an infinite loop. It’s still dating in the background as I type. I think I’ll leave it there just in case, in a few days or so, it finally calls the Wedding() subroutine.

LOL love this blog 😉
Well it’d have to be multi-threaded… and then you get race conditions, deadlock, starved threads… Hey yeah, it _does_ sound like dating.
LOL … I love it! 🙂
Come to think of it, dating seems to be uncommonly suited for the application of computer science concepts —
– recursion: when each reference gives you someone else’s number to call who “knows him better than I do”
– memoization: keeping track of the boy’s information and making sure you don’t go out with the same guy twice
– travelling salesman problem: when an out-of-town girl tries to calculate the best visitation route across the country (or tri-state area) to meet all the shadchanim and/or date prospects

can you post your code?
After reading a lot of programming terms that I don’t recognize, I’m embarrassed to post my I-graduated-VBA101 code. You’ll just have to use your imagination. Or even better, write a program yourself!
and I thought I was a science geek…. did you ALL major in computer programming or computer science???
nope. bad4, i’m in the same position as you and usually use Excel instead of programming because i’m terrible at it. i just want to see if i can tweak your algorithm to converge.
