I met with my supervisor briefly at lunch today. We quickly reviewed my intermission status and I reported on my previous week's efforts. I, of course, had to relate my "D'oh" moment about the X applications running on my Mac and then discussed running it off of rsunx versus locally. He wants to be kept informed on my progress in obtaining a license. There's a possibility that the department might be able to buy/subsidize a license and I should let him know if money needs to change hands.
The MATLAB discussion led quite nicely into the progress. I was able to show him a graph and explain what I had been doing and my current problems. He's going to look for info on MATLAB courses at the university and/or tutorials so I can get up to speed faster. He also reminded me that David Young is a MATLAB resource I might be able to tap.
He was quite pleased about my progress and thought I'd managed to get quite a bit done, even if I hadn't yet completely solved my analysis problem. At least I was getting somewhere.
Things To Do:
Clean up report and give to Ben before publishing as CSRP
Continue work on MATLAB
Read my Hypertext '03 papers
Research what I was waiting for David and Ian to provide
Continue on with MATLAB licensing issues
