9:00 am - 5:00 pm

First day of work

Orientation, etc:
Sensors are being installed in TigerPlace apartments
There will be a "PC appliance" -- that means a PC, but no monitor, mouse, or keyboard (we don't want them messing with it). Said PC will connect to a main server and a db that keeps track of events.
There's a Windows version. We're going to make a Linux version. We're also going to incorporate video tracking into it. (Silhouettes, not full video.)
X10 wireless is used to communicate
We want to use combinations of sensor events
Web interface for us to work on?

We did the online IRB training. Afterwards, Chinonye showed us some of the sensors. Motion sensors can be A1 - P16, I think. They also have a chair sensor. She showed us the app where it tracks motion, chair, and fridge. Bed sensor detects heart beat (3 levels), respiration, restlessness (4 levels). Restlessness can predict all kinds of problems, actually. How to set the motion sensor id.

Catered lunch from Hoss's - great way to kick off our first day!

Go fetch 5 computers (basement to 2nd floor, no elevator). Set them up. Sam is going to get Linux (Gentoo) set up so we can dual boot...
