Research Log

It's hard to maintain a sense of progress, most of the time. Every once in a while I conclusively finish something and experience a few hours of elation as the weight lifts off my chest. But most of the time, my accomplishments are small and easily forgotten. I've felt that way as a student and as an employee, so I assume it's generally true.

So I'm going to try to write some of it down so that I can remember all the little accomplishments later.

Logs

• October, 2013
  A brainstorming phase of research: data probes, revealing information with continuous gestures, peripheral vision, roles of variables, floating code tips, intermediate expression values, code background visualization
• November, 2013
  Two modules for JavaScript rewriting. Extracted some JavaScript instrumentation helper libraries out of fondue.
• December, 2013
  Prototypes of showing code's execution history over time in the background of a code editor, and ideas around videos of people programming
• January, 2017
  Amateur rambling on general AI. That's out of left field, huh?
