''1:30 - 5:30'' Fixed the script Peter and I wrote because the data Harsh gathered ended up being in a slightly different form than what we anticipated. Peter built and debugged a crawler to pull all of the executive orders and I debugged the tsv output. I stayed late while the program ran on Harsh's data to ensure no bugs and discovered at the very very end of the run that there was a minor bug. Fixed it and then left.
'''11/22/16'''
''12:15- 2'' Worked on updating the crawler so that it runs automatically. Ran into some issues because we changed from python 2.7 to anaconda, but got those running again. Started the retweeter crawler, seems to be working well.
''2-2:30'' Redid the Bill.txt data for the adjusted regexes. Met with Harsh, Ed and Peter about being better at communicating our projects and code.
''2:30-4:30'' Back to the twitter crawler. I am now officially testing it before we use it on our main account and have found some bugs with data collection that have been adjusted. I realized at the very end of the day that I have a logical flaw in my code that needs to be adjusted because only 1 person at a time goes into the people we followed list. Basically, because of this, we will only be following one person in every 24 hour period. When I get back from Thanksgiving, I need to change the unfollow someone function. The new idea is that I will follow everyone that comes out of a source node, and then call the unfollow function for as long as it will run for while maintaining the condition that the top person on the list was followed for more than one day. I will likely need only one more day to finish this program before it can start running on our account.
''4:30 - 4:45'' In response to the "start communicating with the comp people" talk, I updated my wiki pages and work log on which I have been heavily slacking.
