As you can tell from this week's time logs, I'm really enjoying this concept of flex time!

This morning, I spent some time looking into how the floorplan visualization might be implemented. I have a few ideas, but nothing that I feel is a perfect fit ... yet. I also tried to find out if there are any perl modules that will do 3D graphs, by which I mean not just x-y graphs with depth to them, but graphs of x-y-z data points. While there seems to be a well-established 2D graphing module, I haven't seen a 3D corollary or expansion.

I looked at that auto function, but I just can't get it to work. I don't know what's wrong. My code matches the code on the site in all non-trivial aspects as far as I can tell, but if anything, it's more broken than before. I don't know if the plugins are part of the issue or not (I'm leaning towards "not"). So I'm stuck on that.

I spent some time getting this site up to par, clearing out filler text, looking through relevant sites to put together a good description of ElderCare, and so forth. While the banner graphic could use some work, I think I can say that this site is out of the "construction" phase and into "maintenance."

I looked a little at what Andy was doing, and I tried to help Nick track down a program error. I printed out the code from Nate's "view" folder/Catalyst application, so that I could spread everything out and try to see how it fit together. I installed some more software on my computer and helped Chinonye do the same.

I'm not sure what else I can do Monday, except look for ways to learn Catalyst (the rest of the tutorial involves modules of questionable installation status) and familiarize myself more with Nate's code. Also, there's an interview that was sent out over the listserv that I can go look at.
