Init commit

Two weeks ago I sent in an application that describes what I was going to write about. It was denied, so the next week I had to skim through a bunch of articles to find references and then write down in more detail what the paper was about. It took me almost the whole week, but finally it was approved, so I immediately began building the folder and file structures that I’m going to use the next over two months. It took a couple of hours, because as I had to redesign some files I had laying around so it fit the structure.

The structure is two folders:

• First folder holds the paper/thesis itself. It contains LaTeX files, including tex and bib, but also a Makefile which runs latexmk. This makes sure the ToC and references are properly generated as a pdf.

• Second folder contains the experiment source. I reused a universal Makefile from another project and modified it to make running the experiment a bit easier. I then created some standard files and the start of the framework I was going to use, including the structure I was going to experiment on. More about this next time.

I am not behind on the plan, but am a bit frustrated that I planned to get ahead one week to get more time to spend on the actual text, but instead I spent most of it to get approval to write at all, and now I’m on schedule instead.
