Damn You NetBeans!

When testing the Multilevel force directed placement algorithm, with no approximation, for multiple parameters (running 100+ times), be wary not to agitate NetBeans. Having attempted to delete a different project, I have now caused a verification pop-up which will never close.

I have come across this once before; the pop up wont close until all java applications have finished running - I had previously thought I found a way past the bug, however, my actions are limited by the running application which I want to avoid stopping prematurely, so I can't play around by closing related Services. As a result of this pop up, I am unable to use ANY features in NetBeans whatsoever - so am unable to run or edit any other of my programs until the others have finished

To further improve on this situation, the application has been running all weekend and still not finished.

Bitterness aside; during the end of last week I made some more progress on the papers - collecting some output images to include and compare, collecting results for a wider selection of graphs (for comparison against Hu), begun testing on the quadtree for the wider selection of graphs after some minor changes, and made some further progress writing for the second paper - though realising I have more research to do in order to investigate the effects of different matching techniques.

This week I will also be aiming to begin implementing the dynamic algorithm given by Veldhuizen - as an attempt to escape static graphs.
