CS373 Blog: Week of 12 Oct — 18 Oct

What did you do this past week?

I studied for the exams and made a lot of frontend progress for the project. As of writing the post I am happy to say that we have dynamic instances which come from dynamically-populated model pages. There is room for beautification, but I am happy with what we have given the time crunch. I am looking forward to smoothing it all out during the next phase!
What’s in your way?

We still have a few API hangups that are making it impossible to do the final finishing touches on related elements, but I am confident that that will be resolved by the time I wake up tomorrow morning. Otherwise, this is the busiest weekend I have had all semester, with two essays for other classes due in the next few days.
What will you do next week?

My other classes are coming down hard, but I intend to wrap up the testing and extra details on the technical report after a (hopefully quick) bug fix tomorrow morning.
What was your experience of Test #1?

It definitely confused me a bit that some of the questions were significantly more difficult than the others. Particularly the Map question from the first day gave me some trouble. Overall I feel good about the test.
What made you happy this week?

The weather these last few days definitely helped me out a bit. It is nice to leave windows open for a bit and get some fresh air whenever possible.
What’s your pick-of-the-week?

I don’t have anything code related this week, but standing outside for a few minutes is a much faster and more effective relaxation technique than messing around on your phone for 10 minutes (that all too easily slips into 30).
