  • Also met with Shimei – I’ll send out a note to the rest of the committee asking if there are any items that they want me to clarify in the talk from their reading of the proposal
  • Created a doodle for the walkthrough
• More reading The Last Place on Earth. Amundson was literally raised into arctic exploration techniques. His explorer framing is different from Scott’s? We’ll find out.

Phil 7:00 – 5:00  ASRC

• Heard about LoRa on the radio this morning. This might be the bike box tracker technology I’m looking for. Not sure if the networks are active at airports though.
• More slides. Putting questions that don’t seem to fit anywhere else at the back
• Finished first pass through motivations. Started on Lit Review and a bit of Current Work.
• Work on Google CSE integration in the Research Browser today? Then lazy loading of the pages behind the listing.
• Getting the search results using the ONLY_COM engine for now (TODO: Add more engines later)
• Working on taking the items and making them data/graphics objects that can be included in a list. Going to start with a combobox to get the mechanics working right and then walk back from that.
• Combobox list works! There is only one combobox that is assigned to the selected cell, so the list has to be repopulated on selection. Otherwise it’s all straightforward.
• Started reading The Last Place on Earth.

7:00 – 4:00 ASRC

• Started on the slides
• Installing the Ubuntu extension on my personal laptop as per this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/08/enable-bash-windows-10-anniversary-update

• Submit aperworrk for ACM and ICA reimbursement
• Working on the research browser

7:00 – 5:00 ASRC

• Reworking browser mockup. Rather than using the ‘Trustworthy’ ranking, I thought I’d go more functional and exploration-supporting. Clicking on the Antibubble annotation for a story would show the context for the ‘trustworthy’ context. Clicking on the Bubble annotation would show the ech0-chamber context. The criteria for ranking documents could be selected by combobox.

• Implications for design section
• Aaron’s presentation
  • Managing Ambiguity in Legal Requirements
