I have been looking forward to this weekend for about three weeks because we have no parties, picnics, swim meets, concerts, or any other planned event on the schedule. We surely have a lot to do during this “free” weekend. My main goal for the weekend is to finish the cat tower. I think we have everything we need so, with any luck at all, we should have some pictures to show on Monday. We plan to go to the library on Saturday morning because Kelly has identified three new books from three new authors she really wants to read. We want to go see Christian’s guitar teacher to look at and talk about classical guitars. Christian has a nice steel string Takamine, but he really needs a better, nylon string guitar to continue his studies. We hope to finish the design of the t-shirt for the first annual Betty Blonde t-shirt give-away. Betty Blonde’s first anniversary is coming up on July 17.
Christian and I continue to work with Troy on the GaugeCam project at NCSU. Christian is the system administrator, but he has the server up and running with only a few more small items left to complete and then continued maintenance on that part of the project. He will switch over to develop one of the program module for the image processing and control program. I will continue to work on the actual machine vision algorithms for the program while Christian will program the image management and display part of the program. We use QT Creator IDE for cross platform (Windows and Linux) development of the program in C++. We have the environment set up and the program development started. We hope to put a plan together for Christian’s part of the development this weekend.
