Troubleshooting Papers.  We failed totally (Sarah and I wiped out the app, the Library preferences and cached data that referenced mekentosj, then we reinstalled papers and tried the library I altered/created on my machine), so I'm sending a detailed bug report to Mekentosj.  Upon reflection, I think we should be backing up the machine and repairing drive and permission issues.  I suspect this has never been done.

Update DB on PC: Updated Bethany's tables and forms, found a couple of problems with queries and fixed those too.  Cascading changes are better now that lookup_scores supplies name changes. (2.0)
Diagnosis Problem in DB: Trying to figure out how to incorporate diagnosis.  It is strongly tied to WAB scoring, but can't be entered as a score in any reasonable way.  However, since I believe it is calculated, I ought to be able to generate the query in the analysis database to label people.  I've asked Kindle for details of calculation (1.5)

Review DB Issues with Kindle: Preparing to talk with Kindle about database questions.   Resolved issues with Kindle, but added a couple of thorny problems, a wab text field, presentation includes content and fluency rather than spontaneous speech. (0.5)

Papers Troubleshooting: bad papers problem on Pagie's imac....tried several things but found nothing helped on her machine.  When I moved the library to my machine, I could do all kinds of things with it.

The Beginning

Over the last year (2010), I have been attending weekly lab meetings, sitting in on Pagie's class, and building a database infrastructure for Pagie's lab.  Pagie has been kind enough to house me in a nice space when we had to shuffle offices, and has provided me with feedback on my FIP work and abstract, including directing me to the wonderful Neurobiology of Language conference.  I have enjoyed the interactions tremendously and look forward to more.  It is time to devote a blog to all of this work.
