<p><u>Today's Tasks</u></p> <p><strong>Julie:</strong> Write bash practice assignment, assist others when they have questions, work on Git lecture.<span style="background-color:#FFFF00"> (Will finish bash assignments early next week)</span></p> <p><strong>Evelyn, Mitchell, Eliot:</strong> Make progress on the "Learn the Command Line" course on Code Academy. <span style="background-color:#FFFF00">(Should be done by the end of the week?)</span></p> <p><strong>Leo:</strong> Start gathering information for the "physics of antennas" lecture series! Note: Remember that Leo wants to be an educator, and would like us to find opportunities to work on "teaching" items. Most of the students don't have any background on how antennas work. He started learning about them and is going to do a lecture series <span style="background-color:#FFFF00">(likely the first 20 minutes of every meeting) starting in a few weeks! (Should start series by hopefully 2/21)</span></p> <p><strong>Alex M:</strong> Clean up unused code. Fix hard-coded directories <span style="background-color:#FFFF00">(likely finished & tested by end of day 2/11)</span></p> <p><strong>Alex P:</strong> Fix hard-coded variables <span style="background-color:#FFFF00">(likely finished </span><span style="background-color:#FFFF00">& tested</span><span style="background-color:#FFFF00"> by end of day 2/11)</span></p> <p> </p> <p>I've tacked on our to-do list in the meantime so we can keep carrying the items still pending along with us. As we complete them, I will drop them off the list! </p> <p> </p> <blockquote> <h2><strong><span style="font-size:12px"><u>TO-DO List</u></span></strong></h2> <p><span style="font-size:10px">The following is our coding to-do list:</span></p> <ol dir="ltr"> <li> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:10px">Get our Ara sim error fixed (Alex, Julie) </span></p> <ol> <li> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:10px">It seems that if AraSim jobs are left to run while the user is away, it doesn't properly write one or more of the flags, and makes the loop get stuck at AraSim.
