7/29/12 - Spent an hour or two fixing some bugs and working on the qualitative final section of the survey.

7/30/12 - I had my meeting today with Professor Pollock. See the meeting notes for details. Afterwards, I made the survey go all the way to the end, and then I started adding improvements to the survey by clarifying some formatting details and also adding and rearranging the question structure. However, I also discovered several bugs and errors in the system that appeared after some more extensive testing and a more clear examination of how the mySQL databases were changing. I'm satisfied that most of the big issues were resolved, but I still have a few changes I'd like to implement in order to further improve the survey.

7/31/12 - Touched up on the methodology section and began researching additional information to create a chart summarizing the important details of all the projects. I also updated the documentation for the project files that were updated since last week.

8/2/12 - Finished my revisions to the methodology paper and then went back to working on the website code some more.

8/3/12 - I found a big issue in the website that occurs whenever the user hits the back button and then tries to resubmit the information. The code prevents the user from re-entering the information in the same slot, but instead it is being put into later entries. I spent several hours researching website design patterns and ways of setting up websites to prevent such things from happening, but the few solutions I found mentioned that using them was bad coding practice. I eventually got an idea that might be able to fix the problem, but I'm not sure how to implement it yet. I'm going to think about it over the weekend and see if I can't come up with a good way of doing it.
