On Friday of the previous week, Foad and I met to discuss the new direction Dr. Hurst and him would like me to take with PINATA. Instead of adding new recording metrics to the chrome extension, they explained to me that creating a new adaptation would be more interesting and a great addition to PINATA. The goal for this new adaptation for it to be able to detect with a user if having trouble clicking on a specific link and then offering the user a way to proceed to the link without actually having to click on it. This would mean using a hotkey on the keyboard to proceed. With this general idea in mind, I began to read about HTML attributes so that I could learn to manipulate text. I was able to do this but had trouble figuring out a way to trigger the adaptation. I also need to link the adaptation to a keyboard event.
For fun the weekend going into this week, I stayed in (still very tired from the Canada trip) and read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This past weekend I went to explore Georgetown with my friend (and other DREU student) and her roommate. I also finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I also watched the movie "The Exorcist". Time really is flying and it's crazy!
