Bin packing problem

I think that I’m fighting a losing battle.

I’m attempting to pack my stuff up in preparation for moving day, which will probably happen this Saturday. The problem is, every time I think I have enough boxes, something else pops up that needs to be packed.

I’ve already made two trips to Wal-Mart, and while admittedly I didn’t get many storage bins either time, I chalk that up to foolish optimism. I’ve already decided that if I go back again, I’m buying the entire storage bin section out.

You’d think that someone who once researched algorithms for the “bin packing problem” would be better at something like this, but no… 🙂

    I am very interested in this problem too, in my work, I designed a software placement tool to place hardware modules with constraints into cabinets.
