The main event today for me was my meeting with Anat where we did a progress report on where we were in the Paratransit Project and what our next steps would be once we got feedback from Matthew and had the rest of our team assembled (they start work with us next Tuesday). Right now it seems that we've done about as much as we can before getting more answers from Matthew, so in the mean time Anat asked me if I would like to take up a side project. She introduced two different projects that work with the pupil eye tracker device, and she explained how both the students who worked on those projects will be transferring their code tomorrow afternoon. She said that I could pick which one interests me more, but from first hearing about them the one that works to recognize QR codes and process them sounds very interesting.
    We also went to a lunch today that brought together all the students and faculty that work with accessibility projects. It was really interesting for me to hear about all the different work and projects that they do.

    During our meeting yesterday Anat mentioned how the people we will be working with from the E Science lab will not have Microsoft Access available to them. This unfortunately means that we need to be able to give all of the data we're using to them in an Excel format. To do this, I had to undertake the task of exporting our huge Access database into separate Excel spreadsheets and copy and pasting them all back together again. Access only allows you to export chunks of about 65535 rows out at once, so I had to make many different Excel sheets, but in the end they are now all in one enormous Excel spreadsheet. I also uploaded it to the Google Drive folder we have so it will be easy to share it with them on Tuesday. I'm excited to start working with them next week!

Today I met with Anat and showed her all the work I had done with the data so far. We talked about next steps, and about showing Matthew the work we had done already. We also need to ask him a few clarifying questions about the data. To help showcase our work up to this point, I also prepared a few slide that broadly show what we have done and what our results show up to this point.
