I finished Dr. Hamilton's graphs and sent them off to him. I had to do some manual conversion to get them from Open Office Calc into Microsoft Excel, as the callouts didn't really convert so well. Not too many problems besides the callouts, though. I also sent off a graph to Dr. Keller that he had been requesting.

I got the x-axis labels on the graph to adjust automatically so that they won't (usually) overlap each other. My next priority is to make the interface better, specifically by implementing the calendar date-picker. (Funny story: Someone was looking over my shoulder at the page and said, "Boy, the University of Virginia sure has an ugly interface there." Guess it's time for me to stop fixing the back end and start on the front end.)

I discovered how to select "transparent" as a color in the KPaint program. This could have saved me quite a bit of mucking about with Gimp.

I started working on implementing CalendarXP. I couldn't think of an easy way to transfer files from my computer to the server, so I just used Lynx to get to CalendarXP's site and download the files. I didn't know you could just use the "unzip" command to extract things from a zip file in Linux.

I'm leaving for the weekend early today, but Monday I need to tweak the graph I gave Keller. For one thing, the last two labels overlap. I set it to only put on 1 of every 4 labels, so they wouldn't overlap, but it still wants to put the last label on, whether or not it's the 4th one, resulting in an overlap.
