Week 7...can you believe it?! Time has flown like mad. This week in lab I got the basic skeleton of the new adaptation constructed. For testing purposes, I used a "onmouseover" event to trigger the new adaptation, which current can grab the element the user is hovered over (if it is a hyperlink), manipulate its text, and ask the user to press the enter key if they'd like to proceed to the link, or to otherwise press escape key if they would not like to proceed to the link. I also learned how the slip/click ratio feature works which is essential to creating a way to detect when the user is having trouble clicking on a link, which should be the real way the new adaptation should be triggered. This part of the project will be worked on next week. I also wrote my abstract for the project and will be submitting it next week to an undergraduate research presentation held at UMBC called SURF.
For fun this weekend, I went to Artscape, America's largest free arts festival. It was a blast. On Friday I got to see the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra where they played the music of Vivaldi, Piazzolla, Beethoven, and surprisingly, Queen. On Saturday I explored the rest of the festival and saw many live music performances and much art. T'was a great time.
