Blog Posts and Python

Today you wok up at 7:30 and headed to the High School. You sat in the library, writing up a few different blog posts on a number of different things. You wrote about MPlayer and Netcat, the DS18B20 on the BeagleBone, and camera streaming methods. Around 10:00 (and a lot of blog posts later), you headed to the FPAC lobby to be interview by Emily Morang for her senior project. The interview went well. After the interview you talked with Mrs. Donovan about Project RoboGoby and then talked with Seth briefly about the MLTI conference. Mrs. Donovan also shows you this AWESOME video of a Michael Jackson hologram at the Billboard Music Awards (with commentary...):

After finishing up at the High School you, Josef, and Nick headed to your house at around 11:45. At your house you finalized the Python/Java server combination (which was awesome!) and then you fixed the Battery.py file. You also worked on integrating the new server into the code you had already written. After spending a few hours working (and a little bit of time eating), you, Josef, Liam, and Nick headed to frisbee practice.

Frisbee practice was at a perfect time. There was no rain and little wind. After frisbee practice you headed to swimming. Swimming was tiring and you were extremely hungry the entire time...and couldn't stop thinking about Indian food. After swimming you dropped Nick's bike off at his house and headed home. You spend the next couple of hours eating dinner, studying WHAP, throwing darts, emailing people, and reading up on Python module packaging.

All in all it was a good, productive day.

You're very excited to finally cut our the heat-sinks/PVC at Baxter tomorrow!

Slidshow prep

You woke up around 0800 today and studied some WHAP. Then headed to school at 1030 to meet up with the group and talk to Ms. Donovan. You also talked with Seth about the MLTI conference.

You then headed back to Travis's where you created a slideshow for thursday's MLTI conference. This meant looking back on the year and pulling out the important parts and lessons. You collected and chose pictures for the slideshow so that it had more media than just writing.

You tried making a custom theme with either the Limbeck Logo or Project RoboGoby but found it to be too obtrusive to be at all useful.

You then went to frisbee where you worked on stacks and got pretty good results. Finally you studies WHAP again in the evening, added to the presentation, and played some DND to relax/blow off steam. You also made plans to go down to Baxter tomorrow.
