Final day of documentation for this week. Documented forensics, figured out who played the "prank"
Reception today, worked pageRender
Continued work with pageRender, revised, edited, and resubmitted documentations.
Documenting the Forensics workshop. Is pretty interesting.
Continuing Work, nothing interesting happening
Documentation today, yay,,?
Working with pagerender
So I finally got my spring stipend approved by M.Clarke. Yay money..?
Started working on my HLD for the page render. Not completely sure what I have to do.
Today we were supposed to start working with pagerender and stuff. I finished up some PHP projects.
Today Ernie wanted us to present some of our PHP projects. I presented my dice project. QQ
Today I worked on more php stuff. I finished a 2 projects.
Setting up new dev?
More work on php projects
PHP and shit, copying code and doing php
Today I worked on another desktop background, referencing 1984 again. "Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me". I also worked on several other varying graphics and I was generally very productive.
Today I worked on a desktop background, referencing 1984 and starring ernie as big brother. I also worked on my logo and other graphics stuff. Later in day, Ernie gave us the formula by which he would calculate our stipends, so I created a JS calculator to determine how much I get.
Ernie gave us a picture by which we could use Gimp to alter it into whatever we want. I worked on that and shit.
I had receptionist today.
Today is Block 1 week 2 day 1. We had assignments on going through tutorials and stuff. I went through the ink one.
Today I finished up my model, rewrote my HLD and continued reading 1984. I also contemplated about working on me spring stipend.
Today I read parts of 1984 because it was interesting. Also I worked on model
Continued working on model blah blah blah, added the counter and stuff yep.
Continued working on model blah blah blah
Today was the first day of the block 1 whatever. Today we worked on a predator prey model. I wrote my High Level Design document, created sprites, and added behaviors for 2/3 of the agents. I'd say that I was very productive.
Today was the last day before Summer scheduling. I presented my predator prey model with Na'im K.
Today was a workday for the JavaScript project. My partner was not here, and he had the code onn his account not public so I didn't have anything to work on aside from further revising the HLD document, created last week. I went through the W3Schools javascript tutorial to strengthen my knowledge of JavaScript.
Today, we started our first JavaScript project, which was to remodel old projects previously made in agent sheets and other modeling programs into JavaScript. I worked with Na'im to create a Predator-Prey model in JavaScript. Today, I created the High Level Design document.
Today we worked on learning more Javascsript stuff. We focused on using javascript objects and using the canvas to make 3 random colored rectangles to move in the canvas. Yeappppppppp.
In the morning, we worked on more Javascripting with Doug Ivers and it was fun. In the afternoon, we learned about fractals and stuff.
Today we learned a lot of JavaScript concepts and stuff with Mr Ivers. We worked with loops, arrays, offsets. Using those, we used Caesar Ciphers to encode messages, and used arrays to make a javascript document that displayed times to seconds more efficient, rather than repeating same code over and over again.
Today I went to UNCG to compete in a Science Olympiad event. Yep, I wasn't here.
Today we learned about newtworking and hexadecimal with Trey and Joel in the morning. In the afternoon, we worked with Rob to model stuff like the velocity of a falling cat and we did an activity where there was a percentage chance for someone to "reproduce" and we made a tree showing how many generations could survive.
Today, we learned about computer hardware with Trey and then learned about Terminal command line commands with Trey. Then, after lunch, we finished our presentations. Me + Keith presented our model.
Today we worked on our models and watched other peoples models. Yep. We made our website pretty obnoxious, and had a big marquee tag burning.
Today we worked on probability with Rob Hochberg. We also worked on the project. Yay.
Today we got our project on Agent + System Modeling. Me and Keith worked together to create our Agent modeling, and I started on the excel model, which I don't think worked well. Right now, it says that Farmer Dan will get 3 customers, and only 15 dollars a day. Forever alone... I believe that is wrong, though.
In the beggining of class, we worked on our Excel theoretical model and created formulas to add in a doctor fraction. Later, we worked on creating on our own infection model. I worked with Keith to create a Bubonic Plague model that had rats and people who are suseptible, infected, or recovered. Our model worked pretty well.
Today, we did more modeling with Agent Sheets, and started working with Excel for modeling. At the beginning of the class, we started working on modifying the disease spread model to try to control the disease. Afterwards, we took a experimental set of data from Agent Sheets and graphed it in excel. From their, we tried creating a theoretical set of data to match the experimental set of data.
Today for class, we worked on modeling in Agent Sheets with Jeff. While we didn't create our own Agent Sheet model, we downloaded an infection model that we looked at, analyzed, and changed for the majority of the class. Meanwhile, I worked on updating my .vimrc file during lunch and continued customizing my Vim settings. EMACS is horrible.
For around 2 hours of In Office Time, I worked today to create my essay for office ethics and continued to configure my .vimrc file. I also looked into EMACS, and found out how horrible it is.
Today I came to Shodor for the 5 Additional Office Hours that I needed. I came here at around 9:00 and left at around 2:00. Today, I worked on creating my .Vimrc file to save my VIM settings and worked on mostly the Blog aspect of my website, as I accidentally deleted my blog last week. I also fixed my formatting for my HTML documents, and learned some new VIM commands (CTRL-Z to return to shell, FG (foreground) from the shell to return to the suspended VIM document. This should be useful to me when I have multiple VIM documents opened and tabbed, and I need to return to the shell.
Today, we did some stuff with Bob Pannoff, the CEO of Shodor. It was all about how you "know stuff" and we did stuff. Yep, meanwhile, I learned how to tab in VIM, and various other features of VIM. Also, I accidentally deleted my blog for my HLDD. I thought that the command :1,15 w! blog.html would save lines 1-15 of my index onto lines 1-15 of the blog, but it only saved lines 1-15 to my blog. Oops. :D
Here in Shodor, we got our first project: A High Level Design Document. Today was mostly a work day, and we were supposed to follow the Shodor Tutorial. I chose to use VIM to create my website, even though most people used textwrangler,and I had to deal with the learning curve of using VIM for the first time. I was a bit less productive than other apprentices, but I learned more about VIM.
Today is the first day of my apprenticeship at Shodor. With Joel, we learned how to navigate in the Linux Terminal and used the Terminal to connect to the Shodor Servers. Also in Terminal, we created our Public_Html folder, and created a basic HTML file through VIM.
With Ernie, we went over the Apprentice handbook and Shodor polices. Also, we got our pictures taken and created labels for our mailbox!
