Trial and Error I Suppose

I coded ALL morning!! And this time I'm not exaggerating because i started at 9 and coded till lunch at 12.  I made such good progress tho and i am almost done!! I will definitely finish tomorrow. For lunch today we all brought our lunch which was a first. So we decided we should have a picnic and therefore we walked to a nice courtyard and ate lunch on a bench. On the walk back we found some cool benched that looked 'snake-like' and we tried them out.

Umm, I coded some more when we got back but i admit i got distracted a couple times. Jeff finally got a chance to see the eye movements video and now we basically have to re-shoot the whole thing. I guess thats what happens when you underestimate the Cassio's focusing ability. We didn't realize how good the camera can focus which is apparently a lot more than we shot the video's at. I guess it's all trial and error. When we went to re-shoot the videos we had massive failures. A quick side-track-- For nick's experiment he needs bad weather so that it is not too bright when he eye-tracks outside, so today he summoned some dark cloud to roll by when he went out to do his experiment. However for us to take high-speed video's we need a lot of light in order for it to be less blurry. Therefore, when we went to shoot, Nick's cloudy weather showed up and it was too dark to see our video's.

Then the camera's battery started to die and it takes at least 4 hours to be fully charged. Plus Jeff is taking the camera tonight so we won't have it tomorrow so that means we will have to re-do these videos another time.
