We will meet Friday at 1:30 without Sarah.
It is now possible to access our machines as
math.grin.edu,
cs.grin.edu,
math.grinnell.edu, and
cs.grinnell.edu.
At present, this is only a local feature. It may become global
(or at least "available outside of Grinnell") in the next few days.
She found an approximate string matching algorithm. It's O(mn), (where n is the length of the first string and m is the length of the second string) which is okay. She will "teach" it to us on Monday. She will continue working on adding the ANNOTATION tag and name to the HTML document. Hilary takes that page and gets the correct annotation.
Goal: prepare the lesson on approximate string matching. Get the "insert annotation tag" script to refer to a file that contains the (header, annotation name) pair.
She has the fusion program looks for an ANNOTATION tag, finds the corresponding annotation and inserts it. When the user clicks on the + sign the annotation tree comes up in another window.
To find the number of files that match a pattern, you can put them in
an array and take the number of elements in the array. (page 171
Programming Perl version 4.0 first edition). To find the number of
elements in an array, use 1+$#array.
When considering where the form for inserting a new annotation should go, we decided that a new window would be appropriate.
Goal: get the "insert annotation" button to work (allowing the user to fill in a name at present).
Raphen is continuing to investigate GUI issues in Java.
Swing is SLOW! Back to AWT.
Now he is building the convert logs. Things to think about: storing the log file in memory, efficiently.
Goals: continue working on GUI; think about internal representation of log; get conversion package working in Java.
He has made code for main.cgi more elegant.
Now he is working on implementing passwords and encrypting.
You can leave Grinnell pages without a problem (e.g. when following a link to an external page). The log stops, and you have to log back in to begin logging again.
Goals: continue working on password system; start thinking about groups and how to represent them.
