A wasted month...

... or maybe two.

We saw our thesis supervisor today. He said that the way I was thinking of implementing my algorithm wouldn't work, since the asumptions I had made weren't true. This basically means I wasted one month of the thesis on something I can't use - except maybe for 1-2 pages of the report... My thesis partner, also got some news meaning he will have to make a lot of changes and learn a lot of different things compared to the direction he's been going so far. I'm guessing he was set back a month as well... Comnbining this with the fact that our supervisor will be on vacation most of August, and we have the deadline on September 1st, there's a lot of time to make up for. We basically need to be done with implementing our theories before July 1st, and then take a month to write the report. The implementation should be good enough to cover about 4.5 months work (now to be made in about 2 months), and that kind of report is usually finished in about 1.5 months - plus some writing while implementing. Well, we have 2+1 month left to be at least 95% done with both now - and then we have a month to fix everything while the supervisor is on vacation... Have a happy summer, I'll be staring out the windows of my uni building (if I get time for doing that even ;p). I've rearranged my calendar a bit, since I'm planning on going to ITU a bit more often in the close future. I'll adjust a bit while you're here, but keep it standing like that anyway, since it's too much work changing in that calendar...

Instead of me doing all the DirectX stuff and M doing all the OpenCV (computer vision c++ library), I will also do some of the OpenCV stuff to make my part completely work. We'll still have about half the work each, it's just that there's simpler methods from their to use for some of my part :)

By the way, when I was at L's place working this week, he said something puzzling. It seems as if the danish actually do have 'kind of' a holiday on May 1st, but maybe not all. There were gatherings at the parks where some politicians held speeches, but it seemed to be more about having some beer, holding some flag (just traditional, not protesting flags) and taking it easy than noticing what the politicians were talking about or about protesting or other such common May 1st things. Well the danish protest and discuss these things all year around, so why have a special day for such things? I like the relaxed attitude :)
