It's just me

As I mentioned yesterday, I have one of my new methods functioning in a minimum working example mode.  To start the day, I played with some parameters, however, the results were garbage.  As such I dove into my code and set-up.  Sure enough I found a couple pesky bugs in the system.  Now I am at a cross roads, I could either take my one working example and move on or I can get hung up with trying to sort out the details of my system.  My work to date shows that the methodology is sound and the physics "works".  It's only the engineering (in this case software) that prevents me from widely applying the technique as this time.  My simple example is enough for the paper draft I am working on, but do I want to spend time working on the "bigger" picture.  Well not only do I want to have a little look at my code, to see if I can sort out this issues now, but I've also taken another step backwards by re-working my interface software that I need to debug the method programming.  So in typical fashion I am taking on extra work (moving backwards) when I am being encouraged to move along.  To be fair, I've given myself a limit of a couple days to indulge my interest, before I force myself to patch things up and move on for the time being.
