Activities: Work on the TEMOA Project (getting into subgraphs)
Technical Information: TEMOA Project (Python/Graphviz), Bash
Reflection: The past few weeks, Aishwarya and I have been working on the TEMOA project. We have accomplished creating the basic looks of the models. Of course that isn't enough; we are starting to get into subgraphs. Subgraphs will contain even more specific information about the models without cluttering them. We are skeptical of how this will turn out, and we will be working on these for the next week or two. If it turns out that the subgraphs work very well for us then we will create html links that will allow the user to click on a certain part of the main model diagram to pull up a subgraph.
I am still working on a Linux system (Fedora) for the project. I use an application called the Terminal (similar to the command prompt in windows), and is a client for Bash. I have adapted to using the Terminal over the past month so much that I find it easier to use it rather than using the GUI (Graphic User Interface) on linux. I typically use it for creating, copying, executing, and installing files. The VIM editor (In Bash) is a text editor that I use almost everyday to read and write code in any language (Python, Graphviz, C, C++, Bash Script, and many other languages). I plan to use this system in the future since it is fast and very useful (I am slowly starting to dislike Windows).

I feel that my main contribution to the TEMOA Project is to help come up with innovative ideas to make good looking (and easy to understand) models. Along with that, I collaborate with Aishwarya a lot to make these ideas work.
