I intend this journal/blog/e-notebook/whatever you want to call it to track my work, findings, thoughts, and ideas. I don't know how much I'll use it, how much info I'll have to put in here, etc. Imma just give it a try.

My new project

Today I had a meeting in Anderson, IN to discuss the possibility of joining a project to work on sustainable communities for developing nations. I am incredibly excited about possibly working on this!

I met with an acquaintance, John Waters and two professors I met from Ball State. They were having a master planning meeting for this "eVillage" concept they are getting ready to pitch for funding and I was mainly there to observe. The concept and idea of the project is brilliant and completely overwhelming at the same time. I'm so glad to get to be a part of a concept like this and can see this developing into something wonderful.

I met with Prof. Horton yesterday and we hashed out the details of the first journal article. I have a much better idea of what I want to investigate with the paper, but the extent to which I am able to explore the design space is highly dependent upon the time of simulation. I might give the computer cluster a small chunk and see how it handles that and then scale up the experiment based on small scale test results. For now it's simply the process of cranking out all of the GenOpt files which will be a HIGHLY tedious process.
