After looking up the syntax of dictionaries in python I've come to a better understanding of Lemonade Stand's code. I gave up trying to work on the ticket I was assigned because there was just to much overlap that I was very unproductive. So I've switched my focus for now to work more on the random events that happen to the player and balancing some of them to help try and slow down the rate the player earns money.

Yesterday was crazy....between losing power and a freak hail/thunderstorm which turned my car seats into sponges, getting things done was difficult.

This concludes our third week working with FOSS@RIT for our summer Co-op. It was a week of mostly planning and course laying for the rest of our summer. We exploited Github and it's wonderful ticket feature to add milestones and tickets for our goals. Since we now have our goals clearly outlined on Github, we can finally get to work on the purpose of our summer Co-op. These tickets are an open feature and I thoroughly encourage you all to create some of your own when to start working on a project because it really streamlines the workflow.

Last Friday was our first real "Work From Home Friday". I woke up that morning with confidence in finding the way the OLPC journal talks to each activity and vice versa. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. I spent the greater part of the day unsuccessfully pinging Google and the interwebz for some information on this ticket of mine. Having another day where I felt like I made no progress whatsoever isn't very encouraging....As a last ditch effort, I pinged #sugar in IRC hoping that they would be able to point me in the right direction, but to no avail.

Today was a mess of a day. Halfway through the day the power went out and it didn't come back until about two hours later. This combined with the amount of hours we worked meant that this wasn't the most productive day ever. What I did work on was trying to clean up some of my past blogs to make the seem more official. I also looked through the code getting a better feel of how everything fits together and trying to clean up some of the user interface in spots.

More School Server Stupidity

This week I have been working on Gourciferous, which will become the our GUI of the combination of RIT FOSS Multi-Gource and, of course, Gource itself. Gourciferous will be written entirely in Python and the GUI will be built using Glade. The goal will be to create the most simple way to run Gource and combine GIT logs.

It is now the end of the third week of this summer research program. Team Lemonade Stand is now ready to start working on our different assignments in parallel. This week we had finished deciding on what our different tickets are going to be and what the milestones for them are going to be. We then split up the tickets for the first milestone between each of us. The ticket I got for this milestone happens to overlap with DAWacker’s milestone and the work he had been doing for the last few weeks.

Today was WFHF. I spent the full work hours on irc. I worked on my ticket that I was assigned, looking through the code to see any place that I could improve the logs that hadn't already been taken care of by DAWacker. I also helped work on the submission video for SkyTime.

Team Lemonade Stand has begun to work in parallel and have each been given a ticket to work on. My ticket was to clean up the logs so it wouldn't seem to overwhelming. My ticket overlaps with DAWacker's ticket, and since he knew the code better since he had been working on it for the past few weeks I was helping make suggestions and tips on what he was working while I was trying to get a handle on the code myself.
