(Saturday) November 24th, 2012 Collaborative Production Run Day 2. Worked on aligning primary and secondary and secondary arms of frame. Problems with documentation lead to retorching the holes. Lots of band saw cutting. Lots of lifting and moving things. Worked on one of the vertical plates in the compression chamber. Swept out half of the workshop.

(Friday) November 23rd, 2012 Collaborative Production Run Day 1. Setup welder. Did lots of grinding on hopper and primary arms. Hole punched box alignment pieces. Ran band saw and iron worker. Did some mag drilling. Welded u channel nuts on u-channel.

(Thursday) November 22nd, 2012 Beautiful day -- tidied up a bit in front of hablab (organized pallets, wood, irrigation hose) and started to grade area for insulation apron. Kavitha made an excellent Thanksgiving dinner. True Fans App: More feedback emails (BTC and another testing volunteer - Emily). Started facebook integration. Made slightly less progress than hoped but preliminary integration is up on test server--need to create an interface now. Need to do some backend work to generate adequate meta tags for facebook actions. I expect facebook integration to take one more day, but I could easily hit a snag on the meta tags so I'd plan a day and a half +/- half a day. Afterwards: 1) scripts/teleprompting, 2) twitter, and 3) playlists.

(Wednesday) November 21st, 2012 Met with Marcin. Attended team meeting. Toured farm (extra work oppurtunities-insulation apron and light screen). Made dinner. True Fans App: sent some feedback emails (to Chuck and Matt). Usability improvements -- upload page no longer has optional inputs visible by default, it's impossible to double submit the form, and changed viewing location of status messages on upload page. Plan to work on facebook integration tomorrow.

(Tuesday) November 20th, 2012 Arrived at FeF. No issues driving. Set up room and ready to go. Meeting tomorrow with Marcin.
