Day 20

This is the end of my 4th week as an intern here at RIT. I have another 3 to go but I'm thinking right now that they won't be too bad. This morning Bob was not here but Joe did bring us some yummy doughnuts, Thanks Joe. I also had to ask Joe what to do because somehow, yesterday I must've left my id card in my pocket and it must've fell out somewhere, and it is lost. Joe gave me the option of sending him my times everyday instead of buying another one, so for now I think I'm going to do that, if it's difficult then I'll probably just pay the fee to get another card.
Today, Tom and I used all of the information we have been collecting throughout the past couple weeks to finally erode the tiff files we saved!! Tom was able to write up a code so that we could both easily just input the code instead of going through the eroding process over and over again. I finished up all of my image except one, I need to go back and re-save the fits as a tiff, because somehow the pixel size of the fits, 882 by882, changed to 760 by 700 when I saved it as a tiff file. I need to see if I can redo it and fix it so it doesn't change and then erode it. Then I am officially done with this portion, well unless I have to do some other files, of eroding images!!! This has been a pretty good day, I need to post the images on Flickr and update the Wiki. At 4:30 we are going to an early meeting where we are going to hear the Journey of a Photon kids give their practice presentations on what they have been working on. Earlier I went to the IS&T meeting and heard about the Document Restoration Lab and what they have been acomplishing this summer. It was a really interesting meeting and I thought it would've been really cool to work on. It was intriguing to me, thinking of uncovering ancient history that no one has ever seen before.
I'm so glad it's Friday, I need more sleep, running five miles this morning wasn't nice to me today. Hopefully I don't forget anything over the weekend, I think I wrote it all down.
