7:30 – 6:30 VISIBILITY

  • Installing updates – windows, java, adobe. Let’s see if we can break *everything*!
    • I broke most things. A fix that is mentioned a lot in the forums and helped me was to UNINSTALL all my old Java SDKs/JDKs/JREs and then install the newest one fresh. After that, all was well
  • The computer is running faster now, though…
  • Doctor’s appt at 9:15
  • Going to try to write a straight F test function using R.
  • Checking up on the state of my account on the new server
    • Turns out that you need an ADMIN account to request a root account for a server. Put in a ticket. I wonder what’s going to be next?
  • Spent some time looking at the programming OOP in R. Looks doable, but different enough from C++/Java/Actionscript that I’m going to get a book. In the meantime, I’m going to calculate the F statistic in Actionscript and hand that off to the qf(.05,dfnum,dferror,lower.tail=F) function in R to see what I can do with it that way. In a way, it’s kind of nice, in that the processing load is kept on the client.
