Sod's Law: "anything that can go wrong, will"

In this cruel world of games, I have fixed whatever problems I had previous to the meeting - which is slightly annoying but at the same time relieving that I did not have to make any big changes to my current work.

Coarsening works (note how I want it to work may differ greatly to how others want it to work, regardless it is a "form" of coarsening a graph). Uncoarsening is under way, and I feel like I'm beginning to catch up, with an implementation of Eades heuristic for graph drawing being implemented with Walshaws multilevel algorithm, during the next week (or two).

The monthly meeting was focused on my current position, what I am aiming for and what I expect to get done before next meeting. The answers to these can be described as one:

"I want to get an implementation of a dynamic multilevel graph drawing algorithm, ideally that which is demonstrated by Veldhuizen, before Christmas".

This is a large undertaking, considering my current position, however, I am confident that if I can complete Walshaws multilevel graph drawing algorithm before the end of next week, I will be able to meet this deadline (fingers crossed).

In other news, my office is now underway, and although it is not as private and secure as I would like (soon to be fixed I've been kindly told), I have an ideal working area. I am also due to be paid for my tutoring next week and am looking forward to that.

In completely unrelated news, my first inlay has been finished (I'm excited about it and needed to share that with the world), with only one more to go! NB: don't let a tooth decay for 3years before seeing a dentist, it messes up the nerves a little...

Thats all for this week, next update - Monday 19th (11/10) - have a good weekend!
