Patch Convention

Working through chapter 7 was interesting...and the major command "diff" was something that I was familiar with.  We used diff last semester when comparing our oracles with the newly created output to determine if there was a difference between the two.  It was nice to already have a foundation to build on with this.  Everything went along well with the experiments until I hit the “patches generated with subversion” section.  (Actually that went ok once I got a handle on it)  I toyed around within my subversion server until I was able to duplicate the results…an interesting experiment to be sure!

On our group note, Francis created our patch this past Thursday and we submitted it right away (we really wanted to be the ones to finish what we started) to the Sugar Lab’s bug tracker.  We were all pleasantly surprised when we received our email from them yesterday showing that the patch had been accepted and the bug was now closed.  While we are still enjoying our successful moment, we also have been working on ideas for the remaining of the semester.  If all goes well, we should have an agreement on that within another day or so….then we will all be looking forward to creating the next patch!
