First off ACO still isn't ready. I was working on the validator and realized that the results were only consistent across a platform. This is due to the random number generator having different implementations on different platforms. So where does that leave ACO, well its kind of suspended, I have two new PRNG (pseudo random number generators) to test out. That is the good news. The bad news is that I'm going camping and diving over the weekend, and have some real work to do early in the week. So I promise SOON it will be done. Give me a break at least I'm working on it and I live on a island in the middle of the pacific you can't expect too much.

As a consolation prize for the credit hounds. Lesson learned, slackers and open source rule. The BF had a bunch of room for optimizations in the code. I was too busy with ACO to care, call me a slacker. Anyway Palo M. took it upon himself to make all the little tweaks I should have made and a few more. He is getting massive improvements on the BF app. He was kind enough to share his source. He could have kept it all to himself, but no he didn't which I think is great! Its really in line with the sprit of the TSP. So I'm going to make his source available for download in the optimized dir of the svn repository. PaloM Rocks!

You may ask why not just release an app? Well I'm busy, and can't build all the apps I need to, so its up to you.

sorry for the delay, Markus
