Day 18

I successfully implemented uploading today with the help of Jim! Next is the scoring function.

Also, Kevin Rock, the leader of the SpecTIR operation, emailed a mosaic of their flight-lines today. This could mean that data will be coming quickly, and that I will have another site to develop!

Day 17

We collected today! It was extremely cloudy this morning, so I thought that there was no way a collect could go down today, but around 2:00pm today, we received word that SpecTIR would be over campus at 3:30. With the help of a couple interns (thanks guys!) we got all of the target out in time to spell "RIT" as the plane flew RIT_1 for the first time.
I think I am done with IDL for my site, but who knows what the future will bring. I have to figure out why uploads won't save in the tmp directory.

Day 16

The morning collect was canceled today. Hopefully we will get good data tomorrow!
My transition to the webserver is going well. Note to self: type carefully!!
I'm having trouble with some more IDL, but that looks like one of the last few obstacles left for which I am not sure what to do with yet.

Day 15

The collect for today was further postponed, but hopefully it will happen tomorrow afternoon.
Bob had us go through a demonstration today where we covered one eye in the dark, had the other adjust to light, then uncover the covered eye in the dark. In order to compensate for the darkness, our brains lowered the brightness of of both eyes, making it impossible to see out the original eye.

As for progress on my web app, I got my own directory on the web server today! (yay!!!) Now I just have to figure out how to get something to display (not even a simple echo command works).
Still, things are moving along.

Day 13

Today I made huge progress on the site, enabling file downloads, cleaning up the menus and fonts, and adding some content. I also implemented the uploading and scoring feature, but I can't test it until I'm allowed on Pegasus (the web-server computer).

Day 12

Today I made huge progress on the site. I fixed the authentication issues and hover menus and am ready to start editing content (the easy stuff) and adding my downloads (the kind of easy stuff). Computers are really fun when they work!

Day 11

The field trip to UofR was really cool today. They are working on synthetic tissues and hope to create functional organs that can be used in people.
I found what was causing a major error in my site today, just a silly copy and paste mistake on my end of course, so I'll be moving along more-so on my site. I even got internet working on my laptop!!!
