An online version of this report is available here.

Here’s a pie chart representation of the time distribution.

 

See also last week’s progress report here.

 

I’ll be out of town Thursday and Friday July 31-Aug 1.

 

CCK

·         Investigated possible techniques for integration with SPICE circuit simulator

·         Updated serialization to ensure compatibility with previous versions

·         Literature search for linear transient analysis

 

Eating & Exercise 0.00.62

·         Set the heart strength to start closer to the green instead of in the red by populating the simulation 100 days of 2000 calorie/day exercise.

·         Added log based model for exercise/heart strength

·         In the range 6-25% men, 16%-31% women, the amount of heart strain is 0, and outside of this range, the amount of heart strain is proportional to the distance to the closest point in this range.

·         All outstanding issues have been moved to Unfuddle, I’m ready for comments and validation from Noah and Wendy.

 

Misc

·         Discussed sim categories/complexity with Noah P & Noah F

·         Helped configure Marj for translation deploy under IntelliJ

·         Produced an open-ticket report for Unfuddle tickets

·         Team photo

 

Upcoming Work

·         Eating & Exercise (see Unfuddle)

·         CCK (see Unfuddle)

·         Investigate simulation language issue, that for some users it appears impossible to get the English version

·         Discuss production of CCK versions of differing complexity with Noah P

·         Start moving licensing information to Unfuddle (with Marj).  Some relevant data is here, I’ll check to see if there are more recent reports

·         Convert build process to use JSCP instead of Maverick
