There I was!

closing in on a matrix,

when the power company lost control,

and my scripts weren't robust enough to carry through a restart,

so I had to resort to semi-manually* completing the job.

So much for an accurate timing for this composite factorization...

Oh, well, if anything good has come of it, it got me off my a** to place the main factoring machine on a UPS that was already sitting there, waiting to be put into use...

*semi-manually meaning a manual restart of factmsieve.py and manually concatenating all the relations from those machines that are still running...
